The recent uproar over alleged attacks on Dr.
Zanetor Rawlings in Parliament has reignited a long-standing debate about decorum and accountability in Ghana's legislature.
Former Member of Parliament, Inusah Fuseini, has weighed in on the matter, cautioning against attempts to justify past misconduct with new instances of indiscipline in an interview on Joy News monitored by MyNewsGh.
Fuseini condemned the growing trend of disruptive and inflammatory conduct among MPs, noting that Parliament is increasingly becoming defined by "indiscipline, immaturity, and impunity." Addressing comparisons between the attacks on Zanetor Rawlings and previous incidents, such as those directed at Lydia Alhassan in the eighth Parliament, Fuseini rejected the notion that past wrongs should serve as a precedent for current behaviour. "Some are beginning to argue that the majority today does not have the moral right to complain about what was said against Zanetor because of what they did against Lydia Alhassan.
