Speaker Alban Sumana Kingsford Bagbin said on Saturday that the legislature, being the bedrock of democracy, should lead in the compilation of the next Constitution due to its representative composition 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 reconsideration as modern democracies were turning to this reality.
Speaker Bagbin made these statements at the opening of a three-day orientation programme for Members of the Ninth (MPs) in Ho.
However, the orientation programme was boycotted by the Minority side of , who cited the high-cost implications of holding the training programme outside the chamber.
