Speaker, Alban Bagbin while speaking during a recent parliamentary sitting revealed that, he has been in parliament since 1993 and the style of debate he’s seeing now is something he have never seen before.
“In his Words”
“Ghanaians witnessed a new tone and style of debate in parliament, I have been here since January, 1993 and I know what I am talking about. But I want to caution the leaders against the dangers of political polarization you know, fragmentation of the institution and threat to national security. This could push it into the hands of the executive or the judiciary
if we continue to go the way we are going, we will be subsuming ourselves under the executive or the judiciary, so I want to urge each and everyone of us to try as much as possible to change because the repercussion which I just told you is definitely not a good one”.
“Or if we are unable to resolve your own differences, others will resolve it for you and that will erode the public trust and confidence in the institution of parliament. So like I said, I have been in parliament since January 1993 and the type of debate that I have witnessed this year is something that I have never seen before. I know it’s not going to be easy for us but I want us to adjust our ways you know, I want us to bring our tone down a little bit”, Speaker, Alban Bagbin said.
