The Speaker of Ghanaian Parliament, Professor Mike Ocquaye has announced that plans are on the way to tighten up security to ensure that parliamentarians are safe enough during meetings.
According to the Speaker, a bulletproof glass wall between the public gallery of the House and the sitting arena of MPs will be constructed.
“It will interest members to know the Board [Parliamentary Service Board] is seriously considering a bulletproof glass curtain to block the chamber for the upmost protection of Members in and out of the Chamber,” the Speaker announced in the House before sitting was suspended for the year.
He added: “Work on the parliament House infrastructure project are ongoing and progress is obvious as you can see. The visitors’ centre is also expected to be completed early next year”.
