Members of Parliament (MPs) will finally have access to the Job 600 office complex in August this year, according to Speaker of Parliament Edward Doe Adjaho.

The completion of the $63 million project, an initiative of Ghana’s first President Dr, Kwame Nkrumah, has been postponed many times due to financial constraints.

But Mr Doe Adjaho told the MPs on Wednesday that funds have already been approved for interior fittings of the office complex.

"There is an electronic and ICT component of the project which has been awarded separately from the Job 600 (the building and furnishing). The contractor dealing with the ICT and electronics inform us that until the civil works are completed they cannot come in to do their work", he told the House.

He was optimistic that before the end of this year, the MPs will move to "their furnished offices".

Job 600 was constructed to serve as the venue for the 1965 meeting of the Organization of African Unity, now AU.

 Dr. Nkrumah believed that the building would showcase Ghana as a country with the potential and ability to host international events, and a demonstration of Africa's growing technical capabilities.

In 2007 the John Kufour administration secured a loan facility of a 25 million dollars from the Social Security and National Investment Trust (SSNIT) for the renovation of the structure.

 The government stated that upon completion the new building would serve as an office complex to house the Members of the Ghanaian parliament.
