The Speaker of Parliament, Rt. Hon. Prof. Aaron Mike Oquaye, last Wednesday, March 11 2020, exhibited his high appreciation of hard work, when he awarded some hardworking staff of the Parliamentary service.
The awardees, though high-profiled, did not receive their award because of their positions only but on merit as citations accompanying their awards indicated.
