A former Head of political science University of Education Winneba, Dr. Isaac Brako, has asked the Speaker of Parliament, Alban Sumana Kingsford Bagbin, to stop forcing Ghanaians to accept that he is part of the powerful people in Ghana.
According to the Political science lecturer, it is common knowledge that Speaker of Parliament, Alban Sumana Kingsford Bagbin is the second most powerful person in the country and there is no need forcing the tag down the throat of Ghanaians.
This comment by the educationist comes after Speaker of Parliament, Alban Sumana Kingsford Bagbin disclosed that a Justice of the Supreme Court has explained why he is the second most powerful person in Ghana only behind the President of the Republic.
Speaker of Parliament Alban Sumana Kingsford Bagbin noted that his colleagues in the Supreme Court told him that he is not ‘number three’ and that he is “number two”.
“When you start from His Excellency the President, you have to go to the Vice before you come to the Speaker and then you go to the Chief Justice,” he said of the known hierarchy. Then continued: “But we have three arms of government… my colleagues in the Supreme Court told me that actually, you are not number three, you are number two. All those who were present at that meeting were convinced when the Supreme Court judge made the submission and justified it”, Speaker of Parliament Alban Sumana Kingsford Bagbin added.

Commenting on the issue on Atinka FM’s AM Drive with sit-in-host Nana Owoahene Acheampong, a former Head of political science University of Education Winneba, Dr. Isaac Brako, explained that it is not the best for a father to keep reminding his kids that he is their father.
“It is not the hood that makes a monk, I believe that everyone knows that the Speaker is the number 2 person in the country, the constitution has affirmed it and it is undebatable. As a father you did not need to remind your children that you are their dad, they already know you,” Dr. Isaac Brako told Nana Owoahene Acheampong.
