Speaking on the Channel One Newsroom on Friday April 4, Agbana highlighted the efforts of the leadership in creating an enabling environment for first-time MPs to thrive.
He emphasised the importance of the mentorship, guidance and opportunities given to equip new MPs with the skills and knowledge needed to effectively represent their constituents.
Agbana, one of the youngest MPs in Ghana’s 9th Parliament, acknowledged the challenges faced by new legislators in navigating parliamentary procedures and fulfilling their legislative duties.
He stressed that the support from the majority leadership is empowering them to make meaningful contributions to national development.
Agbana stated “The leadership of the majority caucus led by the honourable Mahama Ayariga and our chief Whip the honourable Rockson-Nelson Etse Dafeamekpor are so committed to giving young people, giving the first timers on our side the opportunity to build our confidence and to contribute to discussions on the floor.
“So the guidance from them, the support the encouragement all contribute to our performance. So you may have realised that in this first meeting many of my colleague first timers made impressive contributions.”
