S<\/strong>The Speaker of Parliament Prof Aaron Michael
\nOquaye on Friday, June 28, 2019, unveiled the design of the New Parliamentary
\nChamber Block during a courtesy call paid by a delegation from the
\nArchitectural Firm \u2013 Adjaye & Associates.<\/p>\n

Presenting the model Chamber Block to the Speaker
\nand the Leadership, David Adjaye indicated that the concept of the archetype
\nwas inspired by the Akan saying, Ti kro
\nnko agyina,<\/em> literally meaning two heads are better than one. \u201cThis key
\nconcept is one that depicts the idea of Ghanaian democracy, where Parliament
\nrepresents a body with various members interlocked in decision making,\u201d he
\nsaid.<\/p>\n

The new Chamber, with a sitting capacity of about
\n450 Members of Parliament, will house other facilities including diplomatic
\noffices, a library, a museum, a church, a mosque, eateries, press conference
\nrooms, galleries, a car park, an upper gallery garden, a post office and other
\nfacilities to complete the Parliamentary enclave.<\/p>\n

Commenting on the sitting capacity of the model
\nNew Chamber Block,\u00a0 Prof. Aaron Michael
\nOquaye, clarified that the 450 seater Chamber does not necessarily mean that
\nthe number of Members of Parliament would be increased, however, \u201cthe monumental
\nproject is planned to be futuristic and one that will stand the test of time
\nand for posterity,\u201d he asserted. <\/p>\n

In attendance were the Leadership of the House, some members of the Board, the Clerk and other Principal Directors of the Parliamentary Service.\u00a0 <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
