The House will therefore adjourn early on Wednesday, February 7 to enable the planning committee of the State of the Nation Address to get the chamber ready for the event.

Informing Parliament about the Thursday event, the Majority Leader and chairman of the business committee Osei Kyei Mensah Bonsu charged members to be punctual for the event.
