COVID-19: MPs to take booster shots before resumption of Parliament
Parliament will undertake a COVID-19 (booster) vaccination exercise for members of the house before resuming sitting on Tuesday, 25 January 2022.
This forms “part of measures to contain the infection and spread of the Coronavirus Disease within the Parliamentary precincts particularly in the wake of the spike in infection as well as the Omicron variant of the disease,” a letter addressed to the President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo by the Speaker of Parliament, Alban Sumana Bagbin disclosed.
Meanwhile, the Speaker of Parliament has informed President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo about his absence from Ghana to undergo medical review in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) contrary to claims by the Majority that he travels without informing the Presidency.
The Majority, in a statement on the withdrawal of the military bodyguards of the Speaker, alleged that in all the many travels of Mr Bagbin in 2021, he did not find it worthy to inform the Office of the President.
However, a letter addressed to the President dated 6 January 2022, informing him of his latest travel to the UAE for medical review has popped up in what appears to be an attempt to debunk the Majority’s claim.
The letter indicated that the Speaker was billed to leave Ghana on 7 January 2022 and is expected to return on 23 January 2022.
