By the time we go outside, they could have broken into our cars, and stolen things. You talk to them it is like they are deaf and dumb, they don\u2019t hear. We are constrained to be able to function properly.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, the Speaker raised eyebrows regarding the involvement of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) in the collapse of Ghana\u2019s economy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnytime they want Ghana to falter and return to them, they will tell their small boys to come and misadvise us. When we do the wrong thing and we collapse, they [IMF] say aha, that is what they do to us. Ghana we have been there 17 times, we have not solved our problems.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, Bagbin voiced apprehension about the declining trust in politicians among the general public.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen you hear the politicians talking do you believe it? Once you are a leader and the people following you don\u2019t believe you, you can\u2019t achieve anything,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>\u2014\u2014-<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Explore the world of impactful news with CitiNewsroom on WhatsApp!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Click on the link to join the Citi Newsroom channel for curated, meaningful stories tailored just for YOU: https:\/\/whatsapp.com\/channel\/0029VaCYzPRAYlUPudDDe53x<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>No spams, just the stories that truly matter! #StayInformed #CitiNewsroom #CNRDigital<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin, has raised concerns about the challenges faced by the House due to events held at the forecourt of the State House.
