Parliament of Ghana ranks second as the most transparent and accessible legislatures in the continent, the Majority Leader, Mahama Ayariga has said.

His remarks come at a time where the Ghana's Parliament makes efforts to improve public engagement, media access and digital outreach.

Speaking during a Leadership Media Briefing on Friday on May 22, Mr Ayariga indicated that,

"In Africa,we are one of the most open parliaments. In fact we are number two in Africa.I believe that our aspiration is that we become number one in Africa".

He added that He added that while debates continue over comparative rankings and parliamentary classifications, Ghana’s unicameral system and reforms have contributed to its strong standing.

“There is an issue whether we should be put in the category of those who practise the bicameral parliament. We have a unicameral Parliament. But they have number one, and we followed,” he said.

One of the measures he believes Ghana can adopt to assume the first in ranking is the continuous live broadcast of parliamentary proceedings.

“Now that we have live television broadcasting of our proceedings, in the next rating they might probably review that and Ghana may climb to the top as a parliament,” he added.
