In a timely intervention, Ghana\u2019s former President John Agyekum Kufuor has called on Speaker of Parliament Alban Bagbin to resolve the current stalemate in the House.<\/p>\n
Mr Kufuor emphasized that Bagbin holds the key to restoring calm and ensuring government business continues uninterrupted.<\/p>\n
The appeal comes amidst a prolonged parliamentary standoff between the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) and opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC).<\/p>\n
The impasse has led to repeated adjournments, hindering legislative progress.<\/p>\n
Speaking on Asempa Fm, Ekosin Show, Mr John Agyekum Kufuor\u2019s said: \u201cI am pleading with (Speaker Bagbin) to call all of them for Ghana\u2019s sake to sit at their right places\u2026 We have just about a month to complete the life of this Parliament, so there is no need for this rancour.\u201d<\/p>\n
Background<\/strong><\/p>\nThe parliamentary stalemate stems from disagreements over key issues, including the government\u2019s budget and policy initiatives.<\/p>\n
The NPP and NDC have traded blame, with each side accusing the other of obstructionism.<\/p>\n
Recent Developments<\/strong><\/p>\nThe Speaker Bagbin has adjourned Parliament indefinitely on November 7, citing lack of quorum due to NPP MPs\u2019 absence, after the NPP MPs boycotted the session, protesting unresolved issues.<\/p>\n
President Kufuor\u2019s intervention highlights the need for bipartisan cooperation and leadership.<\/p>\n
The former President\u2019s words echo concerns among Ghanaians about the impact of parliamentary gridlock on national development.<\/p>\n
