Aide to former Vice President Dr. Mahamadu Bawumia, Krobea Kwabena Asante, has praised Speaker of Parliament, Alban Somani Kingsford Bagbin, for a decision he believes strengthens parliamentary democracy.
In a social media post that has gained traction, Krobea Kwabena Asante highlighted Alban Bagbin’s stance that the minority in parliament, led by Minority leader Alexander Kwabena Afenyo-Markin, must always have its say, describing it as commendable. He also criticised what he referred to as a “clandestine agenda” pushed by first deputy speaker Hon. Bernard Ahiafor and Majority Leader, Hon. Mahama Ayariga, stating that it goes against the principles of parliamentary democracy.
“Yesterday, Speaker Bagbin took a decision for which he needs to be commended. The decision was that, Minority will have its say always in the house and the clandestine agenda pushed by Hon Ahiafor and Hon Ayariga is against “parliamentary democracy” I assume the Speaker enjoys the debates of the Minority MPs and will want to listen to them often. Good decision Mr. Speaker.” He wrote on Facebook.
The remarks come at a time of heightened Parliamentary debates, with tensions often raising between the majority side of the House and the Minority side of the House. The Speaker’s decision, as referenced by Krobea Kwabena Asante, suggests a commitment to ensuring the Minority’s voice is not suppressed in legislative proceedings.
Krobea’s post has sparked discussions on social media, with some agreeing that Speaker Bagbin’s stance is a step toward a more balanced and inclusive parliamentary process.
