On Tuesday, February 27, 2024, President Akufo-Addo is scheduled to give the State of the Nation Address (SONA) to the Parliament. On Tuesday, February 6, during the reconvening of Parliament, Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu, the Minister for Parliamentary Affairs and Majority Leader, made this announcement.
Article 67 of the 1992 Constitution outlines the constitutional requirement for the State of the Nation Address. It requires the President to address the country via Parliament before the commencement of each legislative session.
The President is anticipated to provide updates on critical national issues including infrastructure, governance, education, health, and security, as well as the ongoing fight against corruption, during this speech.
This gives the President a chance to update the public on the status of the country and offer his opinions on several important matters.
All Members of Parliament are invited to attend this important event, Mr. Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu said, stressing the significance of their involvement in the future work.
The President uses the State of the Nation Address as an important platform to address issues that affect the people and to interact with the country.
