Ugandan Parliamentary Delegation arrive in Accra

A five member parliamentary delegation from Uganda arrived in Accra on Friday to understudy and share ideas with their Ghanaian counterparts on the work of parliament.

Papa Owusu-Ankomah, Minister of Parliamentary Affairs, met the delegation, which was led by Mr Ben Wacha, Chairman of the Legal and Parliamentary Affairs Committee of Uganda, on arrival.

Mr Wacha told newsmen that they were in the country to learn at first hand Ghana's parliamentary, electoral and local government procedures and operations and tap knowledge from her experience. He said such experiences and sharing of ideas could enhance each other's parliamentary procedures and administration.

Mr. Wacha praised Ghana's economic policy, describing it as vibrant. Papa Owusu-Ankomah expressed the hope that the visit would be of great help to both parliaments as well as enhance their knowledge on how the parliamentary electoral and local government operations of each country worked.

While in the country, the delegation would call on the Ministers of Central Region and Local government as well as hold discussion with the majority and minority leaders in parliament.
