The Parliament of Ghana has announced a new directive requiring all visitors and stakeholders to enter the Parliament House exclusively through the Ceremonial Gate, which is located opposite the Accra International Conference Centre (AICC). This directive, issued by Speaker Alban Sumana Kingsford Bagbin, takes immediate effect and aims to enhance security, streamline visitor management, and ensure orderly operations within the parliamentary precincts.
According to a statement from David Sebastian Damoah, Director of the Media Relations Department, all visitors will be directed to the Visitor’s Centre upon arrival, where they will undergo processing, verification, and confirmation of the purpose of their visit.
Parliament is urging the public and all relevant stakeholders to treat the new access protocol with “the urgency and importance it deserves,” as part of broader efforts to maintain security and efficiency in the operations of the legislative body. The directive is part of ongoing reforms to enhance access control and ensure the safety of both lawmakers and guests within the parliamentary compound.
