President John Evans Atta Mills, is expected to deliver the 'State of the Nation' address to Parliament Today. His address becomes the last of his first term before Ghana heads to the December polls to either renew his mandate or revoke it. President Mills is expected to talk about his achievements in the past three years and the remaining months of his first term. Parliamentarians also expect President Mills to indicate steps he intends to take to intensify the war against corruption. President Mills will also spell out his plans to execute key projects in this election year and plans to ensure that Ghanaians have a violence-free election. According to the Majority Leader of Parliament, Cletus Avoka, the House will take two weeks to debate the issues to be raised today. The Majority Chief Whip and Member of Parliament for Nkwanta South, Hon. Gershon Gbediame has called on Members of the House to hold themselves in readiness for the message. Members of the Minority side wore black and red attire to Parliament today. Earlier there had been threats of a boycott to the President's address by the Parliamentarians saying he is insensitive to their plight for refusing to increase their salaries which has been pegged at Gh¢3,000. However, the Presidency has stated that the President's address will go on despite threats to boycott it. . Mr Gershon Gbediame, Majority Chief Whip and Member for Nkwanta South last week announced the President's address today on the floor of Parliament when he read the business statement for the fourth week ending Friday 17, February 2012. He said members were therefore called upon to hold themselves in readiness for the message. Mr Gbediame announced that extending sittings on Mondays would commence from February 27, 2012, explaining that the arrangement was to enable the house to dispose of business before it rose on the provisional date of Wednesday, March 21, 2012. He urged Committees with referrals to expedite work on same and submit their reports for consideration by the house. He said bills may be presented to the house for first reading and those of urgent nature may be taken through the various stages in one day, in accordance with Order 119. Papers and Committee reports may also be presented to the House. Mr Gbediame said motions may be debated and their consequential resolutions, if any, taken during the week.
