Parliament to go traditional

Members of Parliament would attend the rest of the week’s sittings in Ghanaian made clothing.

Mr Freddy Blay, First Deputy Speaker, who presided on Tuesday, told the House that local designers had appealed to the House to go traditional to help boost the local textile industry.

He said the gesture would also coincide with the “Fashion week” which closes on December 7, adding that “our local designers have put together various activities to showcase ‘Made in Ghana’ clothes”

Members did not comment but it was expected that the days ahead would witness various traditional designs and for the first time in living memory, the occupier of the Speaker’s chair would be in a traditional wear.
