The media, Parliamentary watchers and the public were anxiously waiting for the re-introduction of the electronic transaction levy, on Tuesday, January 25, 2022, when Parliament resumed sitting.
It turned out, the Rt. Hon. Speaker’s outfit rather got everybody talking. Speaker Alban Bagbin ditched his usual ceremonial outfit for a more indigenous wear from the Volta Region.
It would be recalled that before the House was adjourned for the Christmas Holidays, the Speaker announced that he would only be using the Speaker’s cloak for ceremonial occasions this year as part of his commitment to change the dress code and code of conduct of MPs. True to his words, at the commencement of proceedings today, the Speaker entered the chamber, clad in kente cloth over a white lace shirt and a black and gold crown and gold necklace.
Some Social Media users have reacted to the beautiful outfit worn by the speaker today.
