In a show of resolute commitment to safeguarding Ghana’s sovereignty and upholding democratic values, Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin, has declared his unwavering stance against potential government interference.
This comes in response to a directive from President Akufo-Addo, dated March 18, 2024, instructing Parliament not to send the anti-gay bill for his approval.
In a strongly-worded statement shared on Facebook, Bagbin emphasized that Parliament, under his leadership, will resist any attempts to undermine democracy in Ghana. He made it clear that the government should not disregard the will of the people as expressed through their elected representatives.
Bagbin also highlighted the importance of protecting Ghana’s cultural heritage and reclaiming elements lost to historical injustices. He stressed that it is the responsibility of the current generation to preserve what remains and restore what has been lost due to colonialism and the slave trade.
Furthermore, Bagbin urged President Akufo-Addo and Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia to refrain from trivializing the democratic process. He cautioned the government against taking actions that undermine Ghana’s democratic traditions.
However, the Speaker expressed gratitude to Ghanaians for their unwavering commitment to upholding truth and democracy. The message from Speaker Bagbin serves as a reminder of the importance of protecting Ghana’s sovereignty and democratic principles in the face of challenges and threats.
Read his post below;
The Parliament of Ghana under my leadership will resist any affront on the democracy of Ghana. We will not allow a government to undermine the sovereign will of the people expressed through their representatives.
Particularly that the values of our people are concerned, we have lost so much of them to colonialism and slave trade that this generation has a divine mandate to protect the remnants of our cultural values and even restore the lost ones.
The culture and democracy of Ghana are supreme that I will do everything legally possible to safeguard them. I encourage the government led by Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo and Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia to desist from actions and inactions that attempt to trivialize our democratic practice.
We at the Parliament House thank all Ghanaians for speaking so loud on this matter and speaking truth to the government.
God bless our homeland Ghana!
