The committee is scheduled to begin scrutiny of the bill soon.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cCome Friday, we are going to meet and start perusing the bill. We will examine it thoroughly and report back to Parliament at the preliminary consideration stage. It will then pass through all the stages required of a bill, and I\u2019m very sure it will soon be passed,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Mr Nanja said the passage of the bill will formalise and enforce initiatives that have already been piloted in certain institutions. <\/p>\n<p>He expressed optimism that by this time next year, the law will be in force and the 24-hour economy will be fully operational.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cEven before the bill is passed, some government and private institutions have started implementing parts of the policy. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cOnce the bill comes into force, it will enforce what has already been started, and I know by next year we will see much of the 24-hour economy in action,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The 24-hour economy is a flagship policy of the current administration aimed at boosting productivity, increasing job opportunities, and maximising the use of Ghana\u2019s infrastructure and services.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n        <div class=\"booster-block booster-reactions-block\">\n            <div class=\"twp-reactions-icons\">\n                \n
