Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin has expressed his dissatisfaction following the noisy conduct of some lawmakers during President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo’s presentation of the State of The Nation Address (SONA).
Expressing Bagbin said he did not want to speak much about what happened in parliament during the president’s March 9 address, referring to noisy interruptions, boos, and jeers from both sides of the house during the presentation.
When MPs on both sides tried chanting during the start of the debate of SONA on Wednesday, March 10, 202, the Speaker of Parliament cautioned them not to convert the chamber into a musical theater because he was not going to allow such acts in the chamber of Parliament.
“Honourable members, this is not a musical theater. What happened in parliament yesterday, I don’t want to talk about it. Don’t turn parliament into a playground, I am not going to tolerate that at all,” he cautioned.
The house quietened subsequently as NDC MP for Asunafo South, Eric Opoku; continued his submissions on the address. His submission came after Okaikwei North MP, Patrick Yaw Boamah had submitted the majority’s main commentary on the address.
Meanwhile, lawmakers are currently continuing with the debate which is expected to last from today till tomorrow. Speaker Bagbin has vacated his seat for the first deputy speaker after the main submissions were concluded.
