The Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin has disclosed on GTV that from next year, he may not be seen wearing the cloak and gown of the Speaker on regular sitting days as part of his resolve to change the dress code and code of conduct of parliamentarians and to market the Ghanaians culture.
He has described the cloak as aristocratic and said that he may only wear it for ceremonial purposes not occasionally.
“You may be seeing me more in traditional dresses. I may use the cloak only for ceremonial occasions, which is what is in the literature of Ghana concerning that cloak and gown.” He said.
He has added that this is the way to deliberately market the made-in Ghana clothes rather than what is manufactured elsewhere.
“We also have to provide the market for our produce. We cannot always rely on what others manufacture and sell to us when we are capable of manufacturing even better ones”. He added.
