This is why the African Parliamentary Press Network initiative &#8211; powered by us at <em>Parliamentary Network Africa<\/em> &#8211; finds it useful to demand accountability from PAP Members. We are happy that Hon. Alhagie Mbow and his delegation from The Gambia National Assembly has agreed to lead the way to inform their citizens through the press on all they have gone to discuss at the just-ended PAP Ordinary Session. We want to see more of these from the other countries. #OpenParliament<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"799\" class=\"wp-image-11698\" src=\"https:\/\/expressnewsghana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/IMG-20230620-WA0034-1000x799.jpg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/expressnewsghana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/IMG-20230620-WA0034-1000x799.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/expressnewsghana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/IMG-20230620-WA0034-600x479.jpg 600w, https:\/\/expressnewsghana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/IMG-20230620-WA0034-250x200.jpg 250w, https:\/\/expressnewsghana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/IMG-20230620-WA0034-768x614.jpg 768w, https:\/\/expressnewsghana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/IMG-20230620-WA0034.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Every African Country is represented by 5 Members of their national Parliaments at the Pan African Parliament (PAP) which is based in Midrand, South Africa.
