Lawuratu Musah-Saaka has expressed her concerns regarding the Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin's decision not to recall Parliament ahead of the December 7 elections.
Speaking on TV3's NewDay show, Musah-Saaka emphasised the potential ramifications of Bagbin's actions and suggested that the Speaker may need to apologise to Ghanaians after the elections. "I pray it doesn't come to a point where we reflect and say, once upon a time, a Speaker of Parliament-who had a distinguished career as a lawyer, served as both Minority and Majority Leader, was a former Health Minister, Chairman of a parliamentary committee, and even Works and Housing Minister-disregarded the ruling of the Supreme Court. "This is someone who was also considered one of the 'Three Wise Men' during the John Mahama administration before becoming Deputy Speaker.
Such a legacy should not be tarnished," Musah-Saaka remarked.
Her comments come in the wake of a memo from Speaker Bagbin to the Majority caucus on Tuesday, November 26, explaining his decision to reconvene Parliament only after the elections.
