Bagbin tells MPs to earn the title ‘Honourable’



Newly sworn-in Majority Leader of Parliament, Alban Kingsford Sumana Bagbin, says parliamentarians need to work hard to earn the respect of the people they represent in the House. He is concerned about the seeming lack of rules governing activities in the house, which he noted, has also become a concern to some MPs. Addressing the House at an emergency sitting yesterday, Mr.  Bagbin wants the MPs to give meaning to the title “Honorable” and he is hopeful the adoption of a code of conduct will regulate activities and conduct of members. Pledging his support and that of his colleagues to the new leader of the House, Minority Leader, Osei Kyei-Mensah Bonsu however, challenged Mr. Bagbin to be courageous and champion the course of Parliamentarians. He said the MPs lack the requisite resources to enable them effectively perform and keep the executive in check.
