Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin has adjourned the House indefinitely due to the absence of business for lawmakers to deliberate on, following the failure of the Business committee to meet and prepare the necessary agenda for the floor.

The recall session, initiated by the Majority caucus, had been expected to address several critical issues.

However, as the Majority caucus failed to appear in the Chamber, Speaker Bagbin expressed disappointment, noting that the lack of their presence stalled proceedings.

In his address to the House, Bagbin highlighted that without committee input and an agenda, the session could not proceed as planned.

“Matters that they wanted us to handle, which I admitted for consideration from the business committee, are not on the Order Paper and in fact, there is no order paper for today because the business committee could not meet due to the absence of the people who requested for the recall.

“As you can see one side of the House is completely empty. In view of this, we have a quorum to sit but we have no business before us to transact. In the absence of that, there is no other authority that can put business before you that you have not adopted to transact.

“In view of the failure of the business committee to sit, as a result of the refusal of those who requested a recall to show up, we are compelled to once again adjourn the sitting of the house. Knowing the challenges we are facing, it is not advisable to be adjourning from day to day. So, I will proceed once more to adjourn the meeting indefinitely,” he stated.

This latest adjournment comes amid ongoing tensions between the Majority and Minority caucuses over which side is the majority in the House impacting parliamentary proceedings in recent weeks.

With the indefinite adjournment, it remains uncertain when Parliament will reconvene to address the stalled issues, leaving the legislative agenda for this session in a state of flux.
