Speaker of Parliament, Alban Sumana Kingsford Bagbin has asked Members of Parliament to stop giving him accolades when entering or leaving the chamber.
According to the longest serving Member of Parliament in the Fourth Republic, it is unethical for members to be shouting his name while he is leading procession to the chamber.
“Yes, I am the Father of the House, but that cannot be said when you are on a procession coming to the House. Please, let there be an end to ‘father oo father’. I am grateful for the levitation but that is not ethical,” Bagbin stressed.

The Speaker charged members to value Ghana and market Ghana not by word but by actions.
