    I believe it is time for Bagbin to get the hell out. Where was the need for land release for a new parliament house when Akuffo Addo and the Akyem Mafia were demolishing judges' bungalows and dumping $58 mil of the state's fu ...

    He is just never smart as a speaker as you rightly said. No doubt his tenure as a speaker has been so much inept and characterised by such chaotic and unparliamentary scenes

  • Kwame Angel 1 month ago

    Nonsense. Is this a priority for now? Look at the British Parliament. What type of sophisticated resources do they need to make rational decisions? It's time for you to retire to your cattle farm.

    Mr Speaker please hold it there as this is not the right time. The economy is being reset. We have more pressing issues than the subject matter you are craving for.
    Please utilize what you have for now

    Self-serving parliamentarians. Go to the British parliament to learn modest lifestyle as they still sit on what appears to be benches. Yet, our parliament keeps asking for more!
