This Bolgatanga man is becoming a tyrant in Ghana. I think he has to be told plain in the face that he is not an MP but just an overseer of the house with responsibility to direct the affairs of the house. No wonder Muntaka described Bagbin as a replica of a village dictatorial chief. Posterity shall blame this Bolga tyrant.

@Agyenco, posterity will rather hail Bagbin for good work done by adhering to the Constitution as Speaker of the Republic of Ghana. By the way in the UK where you may be living is it not the Constitution that reigns Supreme and has led to the creation of a society of prosperity for a black "Negro" like you to run away from his country Ghana to go and enjoy at the expense of the white man. Hypocrisy at its best.

You're damn right. The President is under no obligation to assent to that bill. However, the President has no right to have his office bullies to order Parliament to not forward the bill to the Presidency for action. Once a bill has been passed by Parliament, the bill must be forwarded to the Presidency, and the President can then decide whether to sign it into law or veto it.

This village man is full of himself. An immoral person like Bagbin championing this useless bill? In the developed world, Bagbin would have been jailed for marrying his wife's biological sister. Can he force Akufo Addo to sign the bill? Why has he not sent it when he first saw the injunction? Bagbin is saying this now to cover the shame he received at the Supreme Court. Bagbin must remember, when the ship was about to sink God sacrificed Jona. In the same way a "Jona" will be sacrificed to safe our democracy and our nation

You apparently don't know what you mean by married world. In some of those so-called developed nations that you're alluding to, many marry their cousins; many have sex with their daughters; many have sex with their spouses' sisters or brothers; many have sex with dogs, sheep, and cows; and they engage in many other immoral activities not worth being stated here. Those so-called developed countries that you're alluding to engage in some of the most despicable acts known to humans. Ghana has its share of deviants, but surely nothing close to what one will find in the so-called developed countries.

The court has no business issuing an injunction on the the forwarding of the bill to the Presidency for signature. The court should have followed the laws of the land and entertaining a lawsuit only after the President has decided to either sign the bill into law or refuse to sign it with an explanation. Those Justices know the law and the procedures, but have chosen to be political Justices serving and protecting a President instead of upholding the laws of the land. Parliament has the authority to forward bills that have been passed by it to the Presidency for the President to act on. Until the such a bill has been signed by the President and taken the effect of law, any action brought before the Supreme Court regarding the unsigned bill is a premature action and should not be entertained by the Court. The Court is supposed to interpret laws, not bills that have been passed by Parliament and have yet to take the effect of law. How can this court expect the public to have confidence in it when it knowingly twists judicial procedure to suit the President?
