“Father ooo father. Great loving and Compassionate father. By far the greatest Speaker of Parliament in the 4th Republic. Happy Father’s Day,” Francis-Xavier Sosu tweeted.
Alban Bagbin was elected and sworn in as Speaker of the Eighth Parliament on January 7, 2021, amidst a chaotic environment.
It is the first time in the country’s history that the Speaker is not from the political party of the government.
Two major issues which have engaged his attention so far in the current hung Parliament are the controversy surrounding the passage of the E-levy and absenteeism by some MPs.
He has also been very vocal on issues sometimes ‘clashing’ with the Executive Arm of government.
