I'm willing to partner CSOs to help marginalised persons – Speaker
A three-member delegation from the International Justice Mission (IJM), led by Will Lanthrop, country director, on Thursday, 18 February 2021, called on the Speaker of the 8th Parliament, Alban SK Bagbin, to formally congratulate him on his election as Speaker of the 8th Parliament.
