The Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin, has called on newly elected Members of Parliament (MPs) to commit themselves wholeheartedly to addressing the pressing needs of their constituents and advancing Ghana's development.
Speaker Bagbin's remarks were delivered during an orientation session organised for first-time MPs, aimed at equipping them with the tools and insights necessary for their legislative duties.
In his address, Speaker Bagbin reminded the new MPs of the profound sacrifices their constituents have made to elect them as their representatives in Parliament.
He urged them to respect this trust by fulfilling their responsibilities with diligence, integrity, and a genuine commitment to improving the lives of the people they serve. "You must honour the sacrifices made by your constituents, who have entrusted you with this great responsibility," he emphasised. "Their lives, hopes, and aspirations are now closely tied to the decisions you make and the actions you take in this House." Bagbin stressed that MPs who fail to meet the expectations of their constituents risk not only losing their trust but also missing out on divine blessings. ""It is not fair at all and the Almighty God himself will not bless you because you don't need that blessing," he cautioned. "Whatever you sow, you shall reap.
