I recently made a modest donation to support the victims of the devastating flood in the Volta Region, caused by the Akosombo Dam spillage. It's truly distressing to witness homes submerged, farmers losing their livelihoods, and valuable property swept away (1/3)

It is with so much pain that I signed the book of condolence for a distinguished politician, statesman, and former colleague, Hon. Enoch Teye Mensah. I have worked closely with ET for about 3 decades in both the Parliament of Ghana and the executive arm of government.(1/3)

On behalf of Parliament, I wish to express sincere gratitude to Gideons International for their kind donation of 275 Bibles to be distributed to Members of Parliament.
These Bibles would be put to good use for the benefit of the House and the country as a whole.

It was an honour to be elected President of CoSAP. One of the measures I will believe will set the pace for a progressive representative governance will be the need for African Parliaments to take decisive action to end the unconstitutional overthrow of democratic governments.

Boycotts and threats do not solve problems: engagement and understanding do explained that once a group of people is in agreement on what constitutes Human rights, values and principles, they move on. What is required is alignment and understanding of their context.

It is the institution of Parliament that can really hold the Executive Arm of Government to account to the good people of Ghana. If a Parliament cannot stand the demands of an overbearing Executive, the Executive simply does what it wants.(3/4)

It is in this spirit that I may even go beyond to recommend that we have a Minority Government where the majority MPs are in opposition, but a sterling leader is elected to be President of Ghana.(4/4)
