Speaker of Alban Sumana Kingsford Bagbin has said frequent theatrics and dramas on the floor of the parliamentary chamber constitute an anticlimax and urged Members of (MPs) to curb the phenomenon.

Speaker Bagbin made these statements at the opening of a three-day orientation programme for Members of the Ninth in Ho.
