Bagbin is a dangerous idiot and they are smart for keeping him from being president 1 month ago

Bagbin wants to distract Ghanaians with stupid hateful bills while he flys to pro lgbtq countries and stays in luxury resorts on tax payers dollars while average Ghanaians are unemployed and starving. What a joke Bagbin is.

What is the essence of this write up? It takes only incidental situations for this to happen and since the president and the vice president are coordinating their ins and outs well, there is no logic in the write up. Bagbin cannot act as president because he is a bigot especially sitting in parliament to push for a bill that will criminalize people for living their life peacefully and differently. A bigot can never have access to president's seat for a second. Stop trading this thrash.

The two would never leave the shores of Ghana together because they fear what you would do in the absence to stop the rot.

May God grant you long long life Mr Speaker.

The Rt Hon Speaker is a distinguished Lawyer and an experienced parliamentarian.
Hon Bagbin is fully aware of his role as Speaker of parliament. He knows he dud not get elected as president or Vice President therefore the privilege of holding the role of president in the absence of both the first and second gentlemen of the country does NOT cross his mind at all nor concerns him.
His actual vision is to deepen and sanities Ghana’s Parliamentary Democracy And make it a very vibrant united Arm of government to balance the ‘scale of power’ so that both judiciary and presidency synchronize well with his own institution for the betterment of Ghanaians.
So far, he has NOT DISAPPOINTED at all.

If given that opportunity, he will assent to bills contrary to the position of government and may even dismiss some government appointees before the president and his vice return to office.

Judging from his attitude, it is good that he has not been given the chance. Nothing stops him from contesting on NDC ticket to be president if wants to be one. He is arrogant and power drunk.

I am sorry to say that Article 60(11) is not meant for such trivial use. It is really a succession plan in real unforseen contingencies where President and Vice President are not able to perform presidential roles. Only in Ghana where irresponsible scheduling and dysfunctional institutional practices exist will a president and his vice travel out of the country at the same time thereby necessitating the Speaker to assume the role of Acting President.

Thank God for that. Imagine such a power drunk aroggant incestuous twat being given all the power of the executive. This sisiter-in-law bonking man would usurp the constitution and make himself president. I despise Bgabin's posture to the point of no return. Just by chance ordinary speaker and you think you are a king ruling over subjects. I blame the lame duck spineless NPP parliamentarians for the untoward behaviour of this man who sleeps with his sister-in-law and shamelessly blames it on tradition and culture. But for the stupidty of a few NPPs this aberation of a man would have been a village elder somewhere enjoyng all his ex-gratia on roasted dog meat. I again balme the coward that the NPP parliamentarians are for promoting Bagbin's aweful abd childish behaviours. The NDC MPs denigrated and repeatedly disrespected Prof Ocquaye but yet you sit there like slobs. For blantantly lying to the whole world that he had seen a writ filed by the attention seeking Dafeamekpor, any serious MPs or group will be calling for a vote of no confidence or impeachment of the Speaker which ever the contitution allows but yet they faffing around like headless chickens.

Who in his right mind will allow Bagbin to act as a president in his absence? He is hyper and could stage a coup before the return of that president. The speakership has gone into his head so much, that he demanded a whole battalion to protect him. He will go down as the worst speaker in the nation's history. He supervised a fight at the nation's Parliament where an MP was hurt as a result of blade cut. He wasted the nation's resources by going to Dubai on medical grounds with his whole and extended family members which caused the nation a whopping amount of money to the tune of $ 1.2 million. Again, his nursing of presidential ambition brought Asiedu Nketiah to the Parliament as a chairman of a sort so that he,Asiedu Nketiah will side with him when the time comes. Mubarak was right to tell him that, he behaves as a village chief.
