In a letter directed to the Speaker by the Majority leader, reference was made to Article 112(3) and Order 53 of the Standing Orders of Parliament, which authorizes 15 per cent of the House members to request Parliament’s recall.

The Majority Caucus is seeking to address key government business items, including adopting the Thirty-Fourth Report of the Appointments Committee, which will see the approval of the new Ministers designated by the President and a motion on a $150 million loan facility.

The Caucus also aims to tackle several key items, including considering a motion for an “Additional Financing Agreement between GoG and the IDA for an amount of US$150 million to finance the ongoing Greater Accra Resilient and Integrated Development (GARID) Project” and also a “Request for Tax Exemption for selected beneficiaries under the 1D1F Programme.”
