Parliament In Chaos: A Nation Left Stunned

Parliament to introduce Vulture Awards as anti-corruption move

Parliament of Ghana

Joyce Bawah Mogtari, Personal Aide to the President, has weighed in on the recent turbulence in Parliament, describing it as a shocking display of political discord that has left Ghanaians baffled. 

The past few weeks, she noted, have been filled with “baffling political drama and bewildering events” that have gripped the nation in disbelief.

“From the inconsistencies and outright absurdities in the vetting process – where some nominees faced intense scrutiny, while others were let off with ease and a mere pat on their shoulder, to the “silly child” scuffle, to the chaos that unfolded in the chamber of Parliament: the breaking of tables and chairs…”

Mogtari also pointed out that the unprecedented suspension of some Appointments Committee members by the Speaker of Parliament has further deepened the controversy.

Observers have expressed dismay at the decline in decorum within the legislative house, questioning how a place meant for constructive debate and national progress has become a battleground for political factionalism. 

Many argue that the recent incidents reflect deeper fractures in Ghana’s political system, where partisanship often takes precedence over national interest.

A Widening Political Divide In Parliament 

The growing hostility between the minority and majority caucuses raises important questions about the country’s political stability. 

Accordingly, Joyce Bawah Mogtari wondered whether Ghanaians should brace themselves for more turbulence in the coming weeks. 

She also questioned if citizens would be granted respite from the “smarting hurt and anger of the now infamous micro minority and the effusions of team 38.2%.”

Furthermore, she expressed concerns about whether critics and observers would have the freedom to express their concerns regarding the aggressive posture of minority MPs without facing repercussions. 

“Are we going to be held in contempt of Parliament and hauled before the privileges committee to be purged of contempt through public hearings calculated to shame critics into silence?”

Mogtari pointed out that the liberties guaranteed by the Constitution appear to be at risk of being stretched beyond their intended limits. 

She questioned whether this was an attempt to gag critics and silence opposing voices, an issue that strikes at the core of democratic governance.

Meanwhile, political analysts have also weighed in on the matter, noting that while parliamentary debates are expected to be intense, the current level of hostility threatens democratic engagement. 

Some argue that Parliament should serve as a model for civil discourse rather than a stage for disorder. If left unchecked, such actions could erode public trust in democratic institutions.

Ghanaians to Demand Accountability from Parliament 

Despite the escalating tensions, Joyce Bawah remained resolute in her stance, emphasizing that citizens will not waver in their demand for accountability, transparency, and decorum from their elected representatives. 

She underscored the importance of holding leaders to high ethical and governance standards, insisting that the people of Ghana have both the right and responsibility to call out misconduct and demand better leadership. 

Regardless of the political turbulence, she affirmed that the public’s voice will not be stifled, and the expectation for responsible governance will remain steadfast.

“One thing is clear: we the people, will not be silenced. We will continue to express our angst and anger at the disregard for decorum and respect by those who claim to represent us.”

Joyce Bawah Mogtari

Her comments reflect a broader public sentiment of frustration with the recent political upheavals. 

Many Ghanaians are calling for responsible leadership and a return to parliamentary decorum, emphasizing that the credibility of the nation’s democratic institutions is at stake.

Civil society organizations and governance experts have urged Parliament to take immediate steps to restore order and credibility. 

They stress that legislative institutions must be safeguarded from becoming arenas of personal and political battles, urging lawmakers to place national interests above partisan disputes.

As the dust settles, the question remains—will Ghana’s leaders rise to the occasion and restore order, or should citizens brace for more turbulence in the days ahead? 

The coming weeks will reveal whether lessons have been learned or if the current trajectory of chaos will persist.
