Director of Public Affairs of Ghana’s Parliament, Jones Kugblenu told Joy News the process is a very important one.
“This is a simple process where members are required to give details of their background, date of birth, next of kin and all that. After which an ID would be issued to enable them enter the chamber on the day of inauguration. It is a very important exercise for all members-elect.”
He noted that both new and sitting Members of Parliament trooped in to register today.
