Speaker Alban Bagbin during the sitting on Tuesday, March 4, 2025.
The Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin, took issue with the actions of some members of the House during proceedings on Tuesday, March 4, 2025.
The Speaker expressed his displeasure over the conduct of some first-time Members of Parliament.
“Honourable members, some of you are just a few days old in Parliament,” he said.
However, before Speaker Bagbin could finish his statement, someone exclaimed, “It doesn’t matter.”
This remark further infuriated the Speaker, who then challenged the individual to repeat it.
“‘It doesn’t matter.’ I’m looking at you. Repeat what you said,” the Speaker fumed.
He went on to reject claims that he was unfair in his rulings, asserting that he would not have become Speaker of Parliament if he were indeed biased.
“Please. If I were such a biased person, I couldn’t have won to be Speaker while in opposition. Please, I was Bagbin before you came into this House.”
