Ghana's Parliament transformed into a "ghost town" today, July 1, with a paltry attendance of only 29 MPs as the maiden National Day of Prayer and Thanksgiving seemingly overshadowed legislative duties.
The exceptionally low turnout suggests that many lawmakers prioritised the nationwide spiritual observance over the scheduled parliamentary session.
JoyNews' Parliamentary Correspondent Kwaku Asante reported the meagre number of lawmakers at the beginning of Tuesday's parliamentary session.
The National Day of Prayer and Thanksgiving, instituted by President John Dramani Mahama and coinciding with Republic Day, was widely observed across the country with national, regional, and district-level events.
