PARLIAMENT is reconvening on Tuesday, January 22, 2008 for the First Meeting of the Fourth Session of the Fourth Parliament after breaking for the Christmas festivities.
High on the agenda of the meeting is the presentation of the last State of the Nation address by President John Agyekum Kufuor. The House is expected to pass a number of bills including the Chieftaincy Bill.
The Director of Public Affairs of Parliament, Mr Jones Kugblenu, told the Daily Graphic that adequate preparations had been made for the re-opening of the House.
The Parliamentary Calendar made available to the Daily Graphic indicated that the first part of the meeting would end Wednesday, March 19 to enable the Members of Parliament take break for Easter festivities.
They will reconvene on April 19, 2008 and finally end the meeting on May 16, 2008.
Some MPs told the Daily Graphic that they used the Christmas break to interact with their constituents and briefed them on the proceedings of the House during the last meeting.
