Martin Amidu, a former special prosecutor, has challenged Alban Bagbin in response to recent remarks made on the floor of the House by the Speaker of Parliament on his involvement in Ghana’s democracy.
He asserted that Bagbin needs to be reminded to quit speaking down to Ghanaians as though he were the village head and that, in a constitutional democracy, an experienced person would never try to suppress his critics.
He warned Bagbin to refrain from extolling his accomplishments and to give his coworkers and acquaintances the opportunity to do so.
Amidu wrote: “Games in Parliament – The Speaker and the Minority’s Motion of Censure” in his most recent letter “More intelligent, well-read, and esteemed citizens of Ghana than Bagbin are or ever will be, and many of them have declined to run for office as members of Parliament out of their own free will.
Throughout the Fourth Republic, this nation has had the good fortune to have Speakers of the House who have not even spent a single day in the House of Representatives. They are intelligent, erudite, well-respected, and humble.”
