President Akufo-Addo is expected to deliver his final state of the nation address for his first term on Tuesday, January 5, 2021.
The event is expected to take place at 10:00 am on that date.
Parliament, in a statement from its Public Affairs Directorate, said that attendance is strictly by invitation due to Covid-19.
The presentation is in line with article 67 of the 1992 constitution which states that “the president, at the beginning of each session of Parliament and before the dissolution of Parliament, shall deliver to Parliament a message on the state of the nation.”
Meanwhile, the current Parliament will be dissolved on January 6, 2021 for the inauguration of the 8th Parliament on January 7.
The Parliamentary Service in a statement outlined programs to usher in the eighth house to facilitate the inauguration of the president-elect, Akufo-Addo.
This is also in line with the 2012 Presidential Transition Law (Law 842) of the 1992 constitution.
