Alban Bagbin, Deputy Majority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin, Minister of Information Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, Minister of Education Dr. Yaw Osei Adutwum and Emmanuel Armah Kofi-Buah Deputy Minority Leader of Parliament are expected to grace the occasion as guests of honour.
“We are expecting the Speaker of Parliament Rt. Hon. Alban Bagbin and some members of the Leadership of Parliament to join us as we wine and munch to end the year in victory,” PRINPAG said.
The statement added “This is our own event, and all things being equal, we expect this to be an annual event on our calendar. God be our helper.”
Staff of member organizations are invited to the event which happens to be the first of its kind with surprises promised on the night.
PRINPAG executives said the soiree is the association’s way of marking the close of 2023 in grand style.
The event provides an opportunity for members of the inky fraternity to network and pick some awards for their contributions to informing, educating and entertaining the public throughout the year.
