When an individual is elected by the electorate to represent their interests at the highest level of government - - they are expected to conduct themselves with decorum and exercise restraint in their speech, particularly in the public domain.
This expectation stems from the fact that as parliamentarians and lawmakers, they are regarded as honorable individuals entrusted with the responsibility and dignity of serving in such esteemed positions of national leadership, on behalf of the people.
However, in the course of their duties, heightened emotions can sometimes cloud judgment, leading some lawmakers to act in ways that contradict the standards and integrity expected of their office - resorting, in the heat of the moment, to languages and behaviors that fall short of the dignity associated with their esteemed positions, becoming what GhanaWeb terms as 'loose talkers'.
Such is the case of the Member of for Gomoa Central, Kwame Asare Obeng, who, over the past week, has found himself at the center of widespread media attention and public discourses.
