Accra, Nov 29, GNA \u2013 A six-member delegation from the National Assembly of Namibia on the Select Committee of Budget is in Ghana for a three-day benchmarking visit to Ghana\u2019s Parliament.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The delegation would engage the House through interaction and also liaise with Members of Parliament (MPs) to exchange ideas, and learn practices of Ghana\u2019s Parliament as well as how Parliament works in Ghana.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThe delegation is here, among other things, to create a platform of networks to deepen bilateral relations between Ghana\u2019s Parliament and Namibia\u2019s Legislature,\u201d Mr Alban Bagbin, Speaker of Parliament, said on Tuesday in his formal communication on the floor of the House.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He called for the necessary and related learning assistance to the delegation to make their trip worthwhile.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHonourable Members, I urge you to share knowledge, and experiences on the working of the special budget with the delegation. Particularly, focus on the issues of procedures and the independence of Parliament,\u201d he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Mr Bagbin also advised the delegation to take time off to familiarise themselves with Ghana\u2019s nature.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cTry to network and have follow-up visits, there could be private visits. Is the person-to-person relationship that strengthens bilateral visits.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cTo the delegation, I wish you a fruitful visit, please take time off to use some fresh air outside the parliamentary business, and visit some of Ghana\u2019s tourist sites,\u201d he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
