The Speaker of Parliament, Alban Sumana Kingsford Bagbin, has raised an urgent alarm about the potential for public unrest stemming from the extreme partisanship within the legislature.
He voiced his concern that the current political climate, where factions prioritize their agenda over the needs of citizens, could lead to widespread dissatisfaction.
Speaking at the University of Ghana (UG) Alumni Lecture on the theme “30 Years of Parliamentary Democracy: The Journey Thus Far,” Bagbin highlighted the erosion of public trust in Parliament due to its failure to effectively tackle pressing national issues.
He referenced recent examples from Kenya, Burkina Faso, and other African nations, urging Ghana to learn from these situations to prevent similar unrest.
Speaker Bagbin pointed out that citizens are increasingly frustrated with lawmakers who do not unite for the common good.
