Speaker of Parliament Alban Bagbin has expressed frustration over what he describes as legislators' growing habit of seeking the Supreme Court's intervention on parliamentary issues.
According to him, this situation undermines the authority and respect of the legislative body.
The Speaker voiced his concerns at a press conference on Wednesday, November 6, 2024, calling on lawmakers to demonstrate greater loyalty to Parliament and limit appeals to external judicial intervention.
