Speaker Alban Bagbin and his two deputies, Andrew Asiamah Amoako and Joseph Osei Owusu, will not be present for Friday’s parliamentary proceedings. Instead, Mr. Kwasi Ameyaw-Cheremeh, the Member of Parliament for the Sunyani East Constituency in the Bono Region, has been nominated to serve as the Presiding Speaker.
The Clerk of Parliament managed Kwasi Ameyaw-Cheremeh’s nomination as the Presiding Speaker in accordance with the new standing orders.
Frank Annoh-Dompreh, the Majority Chief Whip for the Eastern Region’s MP Nsawan Constituency, made the nomination, and Governs Agbodza, the Minority Chief Whip, seconded it.
Mr. Kwasi Ameyaw-Cheremeh will oversee parliamentary proceedings in this interim capacity, making sure that legislative activities continue even when the Speaker and Deputy Speakers are not present.
As this is the first time something of this kind has occurred since the days of the late former speaker, Peter Ala Adjetey, it is considered a historic moment in the history of Ghana’s Parliament.
