Parliamentary Press Network (APPN) for the year has been scheduled to hold virtually
on Friday January 28, 2022.
A notice

Ghana, Hon. Gilbert Borketey Boyefio and Chairperson of
the Steering Committee, Hon. Oluchukwu
Ibekwe states that the meeting will discuss the APPN activities for the year 2022 and beyond.
The

The African Parliamentary Press Network is a Network of African journalists and information officers reporting from regional, sub-regional and national Parliaments in Africa. APPN promotes parliamentary openness and cordial working relationship between Parliaments and the media and believes that a well mobilized and resourced press corps or galleries in all African parliaments will set the stage for the work of African Parliaments, including the Pan-African Parliament, to be made visible to the people of Africa.
