Parliament resumes today to consider several bills

Parliament is resumes from recess today, Tuesday, June 6, for the Second Meeting of the Third Session.

The House adjourned sine die for the Easter festivities in March 2023 after passing three controversial revenue bills which sought to boost domestic revenue mobilization in Ghana.

The Member of Parliament for Nsawam Adoagyiri and Majority Chief Whip, Frank Annoh-Dompreh on his Twitter page revealed that some five financial bills, the Revenue Administration Regulations, 2023, the Customs Amendment Act, Income Tax Amendment Regulations, VAT Amendment Regulations, and the Insurance Regulations, 2023 are expected to be laid before Parliament.

The Appointments Committee of Parliament would also be expected to present its report on the vetting of the Chief Justice nominee, Justice Gertrude Torkornoo before the house for consideration and approval.

This comes just a day after the Supreme Court released the much awaited judgement on the former Member of Parliament for the Assin North constituency.

The Minority had stayed away from clearing the nominee for the job until the apex court released the judgement of the court in the case which included Justice Torkornoo as a panel member.

The Minority Caucaus is set to address journalists today about their stance on the Justice Torkornoo.
