Public gallery remains closed as Parliament resumes

Head of Public Relations at Ghana’s Parliament, Kate Addo, has said the public gallery will remain closed to the public as the House reconvenes on January 25, 2022.

The closure, according to her, is a directive from the Speaker, Alban Bagbin, and the Business Committee of Parliament.

Madam Addo disclosed this in an interview with Adom News‘ Parliamentary correspondent, Moses Amponsah.

She explained the closure forms part of measures to keep the House safe as Ghana’s covid-19 active cases continue to spike.
