Speaker of Ghana’s Parliament Alban Bagbin has pledged to shield the nation from potential government interference.
This resolution comes in response to President Akufo-Addo‘s directive dated March 18, 2024, instructing Parliament not to forward the anti-gay bill for his approval.
Bagbin took to Facebook with a resolute message, declaring, “The Parliament of Ghana under my leadership will resist any attempts to undermine our democracy. We will not allow the government to disregard the will of the people as expressed through their elected representatives.”
Emphasizing the significance of preserving Ghana’s cultural heritage, Bagbin highlighted the impact of historical injustices such as colonialism and the slave trade on the nation’s values.
He stressed the responsibility of the current generation to protect and, where possible, restore these cultural elements.
Addressing President Akufo-Addo and Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, Bagbin urged them to avoid actions that diminish democratic processes.
He called for a commitment to upholding Ghana’s democratic traditions without trivialising its significance.
In closing, the Speaker expressed gratitude to Ghanaians for their unwavering dedication to truth and democracy.
He assured that the Parliament, under his stewardship, would defend Ghana’s democracy against any challenges it may face.
Bagbin’s statement reinforces the nation’s commitment to upholding its democratic ideals and cultural identity amidst external pressures.
