A Tanzanian Parliamentary Adhoc Committee on Salaries, Allowances, and Conditions of Service for Members and Staff of Parliament is visiting Ghana's Parliament for a two-day benchmarking tour.
On Thursday, the team, which included four committee members and four parliamentary staff, paid a visit to Mr Alban Bagbin, Speaker of Parliament.
The delegation will meet and exchange views on emoluments and working conditions for members of Parliament.
They are also required to communicate with legislators in order to share ideas and learn about the workings of Ghana's Parliament.
"A distinguished team from Tanzania's parliament is in Ghana for a benchmarking tour to the country's parliament and parliamentary staff in order to learn and share emerging best practices."
Mr. Bagbin stated on the floor of Parliament on Thursday that he hopes to be able to react to certain critical needs in the country.
He asked his Ghanaian counterparts to be truthful in engaging the delegation in all required areas.
"Say what's on your mind. Any problem should not be avoided. Because this is a difficult issue that is eating away at Africa's democratic culture, and we as a continent must address it and find answers," he added.
Mr. Bagbin urged the delegation to receive the essential and associated learning aid in order to make their study trip fruitful.
Mr Haruna Iddrisu, Minority Leader, thanked the Tanzanian parliament for its unwavering support for the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association's welfare (CPA).
Mr Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu, Majority Leader, praised Tanzania for keeping the CPA regime viable by using it as a forum to develop bilateral connections between Ghana's Parliament and the CPA fraternity throughout the years.
The CPA, formerly the Empire Parliamentary Association, is a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting good government, democracy, and human rights. The Commonwealth's Head of State, Queen Elizabeth II, was the CPA's patron in 1989.
