Farouk, a concerned citizen, has expressed his disappointment with Ghana’s parliament, stating that despite having highly qualified lawmakers, the country’s legislative body has failed to live up to its potential. He emphasized that parliamentarians should prioritize the nation’s interests, representing their constituencies with integrity.
Farouk highlighted that Ghana boasts an impressive 60% of lawyers in parliament, with expertise in various legal fields, including constitutional law, criminal law, company law, and contract law.However, he lamented that this expertise has not translated into effective governance.
A pressing issue, galamsey (illegal mining), continues to plague Ghana, with parliament failing to address the problem effectively Instead of finding solutions, parliamentarians shift blame to traditional leaders, further embarrassing the nation
Farouk stressed that no country can develop without a clear development agenda.Ghana’s parliament must prioritize this agenda, working collaboratively to drive progress.
Ghanaians must recognize the shortcomings of their parliament and demand change. Farouk urged citizens to look beyond the superficial unity displayed by parliamentarians, who often put aside differences to socialize.
As Ghana strives for growth and development, its parliament must step up to the challenge. Will Farouk’s words inspire a renewed sense of purpose among lawmakers?
