I Reject Assertion that I Treat MPs Like Students- Bagbin

Rt Hon Alban Sumana Kingsford Bagbin has kicked against assertions suggesting he acts like a headmaster over the Members of Parliament.

He made the declaration during a Parliamentary sitting on Tuesday, February 4, 2025.

“Some members of the House have referred to me as headmaster treating Him Members like students. I reject that assertion but I can assure you that where there are students, there must be a headmaster.”

The Speaker further reminded the lawmakers that the right attitude and behaviour were expected to commensurate with the high office they hold.

“To whom much is given, much is expected,” adding that “you are not called Honourable for nothing. They expect so much from you. And don’t forget that there is life after Parliament.”

The commentary about the relationship between the Speaker and MPs followed the suspension of four MPs following the violence that characterized the vetting of some Ministerial nominees last week.

This violence resulted in the destruction of tables and microphones at the Conference Room.
