Speaker of Parliament Alban Bagbin has voiced his concerns over the persistent disorder in Ghana's legislative chamber, suggesting that divine intervention may be the only solution.
Addressing a gathering at a breakfast prayer meeting, he lamented the stark contrast in behavior exhibited by some Members of Parliament (MPs). "I keep wondering, what is inside them?" he said. "The great men and women of the gospel will testify that when they are in church, they behave differently, but in Parliament, it's a whole different story.
If this is the culture of politics, then we truly need God's intervention." Bagbin, who has been at the helm of parliamentary proceedings for years, expressed frustration over the frequent chaos that erupts whenever he is absent from the chamber. "I often wonder why there is trouble when I'm absent," he explained. "Just last week, when I handed over to my second deputy speaker, chaos erupted almost immediately.
Members were on their feet, singing and shouting.
