The  Speaker of Parliament Professor Oquaye says the House is considering putting up bulletproof curtains to protect Members of Parliament (MPs).

The debate on security was reignited following an armed robbery attack on the Nhyiaeso MP at his residence in November 2019 and an attempted suicide by a 35-year-old man in the Chamber that same month.

The attempted suicide, the MPs argued, has exposed the laxity in the security architecture of the legislature.

There was a call for 24-hour police protection to be assigned to each MP in and around the Chamber.

The Speaker said the project will provide Members with the needed comfort and security to operate within Parliament.
