Hon.
Speaker, I stand before you today with deep gratitude for the opportunity to address this Honourable House for the very last time in the life of this 8th Parliament. It is indeed a privilege to be able to share these final moments with you as we bring this historic Parliament to a close. It goes without saying that the journey we have shared over the course of this 8th Parliament has been long, eventful, and filled with moments both challenging and rewarding. It should be recalled that both sides of the aisle changed leadership in the course of the life of this Parliament. On behalf of colleagues, we pay tribute to the leadership which started this journey: Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu - Former Majority Leader Haruna Iddrisu - Former Minority Leader James Klutse Avedzi - Former Deputy Minority Leader Muntaka Mubarak- Former Minority Chief Whip Every chapter of this journey has been marked by its own twists, turns, highs and lows.
But in the end, the NDC Minority delivered and lived up to expectation of the people. As we reflect on these years, we are reminded of the truth that all things, both good and difficult, have a beginning and an end. Speaker, as we draw the curtain on this distinguished Parliament, we cannot help but give thanks to the Almighty God for His guidance and grace throughout our tenure.
His hand has carried us through every storm and challenge. We also extend our sincere appreciation to you, Rt.
