The role of the Speaker of Parliament is one of the most powerful in Ghana's democratic setup.

It requires impartiality, wisdom, and foresight to balance the interests of the government, opposition, and the people.  Unfortunately, Rt.

Hon.

Alban Sumana Kingsford Bagbin has fallen short of these expectations.  His tenure as Speaker of the 8th Parliament has been plagued by poor judgment, political overreach, and avoidable controversies.
