‘No alcohol on duty’ — Bagbin warns parliamentary security officers

Speaker of Parliament Alban Sumana Kingsford Bagbin has issued a stern warning to newly recruited parliamentary security officers against reporting for duty under the influence of alcohol, cautioning that repeated breaches of the directive could cost them their jobs.

The warning comes as Parliament continues efforts to strengthen security around its precincts, with parliamentary security personnel playing a critical role in controlling access to the premises and responding to potential threats.

He urged the recruits to approach their duties with professionalism, vigilance and a strong sense of responsibility, stressing that their conduct on and off duty could have implications for the security of Parliament and the protection of Ghana’s democratic institutions.
