Former Director of the Ghana School of Law, Kwaku Ansah-Asare, has criticised the leader of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Alexander Kwamina Afenyo-Markin, for what he describes as 'attacks' on the Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin.
Ansah-Asare, reacting to Afenyo-Markin's remarks after Speaker Bagbin adjourned the Parliament meeting on November 7, 2024, said that the language used by the leader of the NPP caucus of Parliament was inappropriate and unbecoming of a parliamentarian. "Honourable Afenyo-Markin attacking the Speaker was unparliamentary, very uncultured.
And this is the first time that I'm seeing live, an MP attack the Speaker of Parliament using unparliamentary language, using invectives, using assaulting, you know, the Speaker's character and playing to the gallery.
It's unwarranted, it's uncalled for. "And I'm glad that the Honourable Afenyo-Markin himself recognised the need for decency.
