President John Mahama will this week commission the Job 600 office complex for Members of Parliament.
The official ceremony will bring to an end construction work on the 50-year old structure that is aimed at improving efficiency of the MPs.
When the President officially hands the keys of the Job 600 office structure to the speaker of parliament, it will also end an era were MPs use the boot of their vehicles as a library.
Ranking member on the Works and Housing Committee, Justice Joe Appiah says the structure has added to the dignity of MPs.
The Complex has 13 floors with 252 offices. The original 1965 structure now has two new additional blocks. One of the new blocks hosts a 300-seater auditorium.
The other comprises a gym, restaurants, a fire station and banks. The Parliamentary Training Institute will also be housed in the 13-floor complex.
The Complex also has a VIP common room and a video conferencing room.
Deputy Minister Incharge of housing, Samson Ahi told Joy News’ Parliamentary Correspondent, Elton John Brobbey, he is satisfied with work done.
