Speaker of Parliament Alban Sumana Kingsford Bagbin, on Saturday said the legislature, being the bedrock of democracy, should lead in the compilation of the next Constitution due to its representative composure and ability to make laws, compared to other arms of government.
He said the situation where the Executive and Judiciary towered above the Legislature in terms of nomenclature needed a second consideration, as modern democracies were turning to the reality.
Speaker Bagbin made these statements at the opening of the three-day orientation programme for Members of the 9th Parliament (MPs) in Ho.
The orientation programme was however, boycotted by the Minority side of Parliament who cited 'high-cost' implications for bringing the training programme out of the chamber.
