Learn skills of legislation fast from your seniors- Speaker to new MPs
The Speaker of Parliament, Rt. Hon. Alban SumanaKingsfodBagbin has urged all new Members of Parliament(MP) to learn the skills of legislation fast from their senior colleagues and appreciate the fact that the longer they stay as MPs the better they will become.
The Speaker stated that the MPs have been taken through enough training and have acquired enough information which will help them to do their mandated work.
Speaker Bagbin made these comments in his closing remarks at the end of a three-day Induction Seminar for all the new MPs held at Aqua Safari Resort at Ada in the Greater Accra Region, from February 6 to 8.
He stressed the fact that some senior members have been able to take the new members through sensitive and important topics because they took their time to learn and stayed longer as law makers.
He also urged the MPs to take advantage of the Private Member Motion which was passed at the later part of the Seventh Parliament, use well researched statements and other acceptable Parliamentary tools to do effective work during their tenure as MPs.
Ghana’s parliament has marked the 2nd edition of May Day 2026 under the theme “ Welcome Home”.
It was special day meant to celebrate the invaluable support of the workforce, recognizing the commitment, resilience, and contributions of workers to institutional growth and national development.
Delivering the message on behalf of the Speaker, the 1st Deputy Speaker, Bernard Ahiafor, described the theme as very apt, appropriate, and timely, noting that Parliament is more than a workplace, it is a shared home.
He emphasized that we cannot speak about work without speaking about people, reminding everyone that the true measure of our work is the well-being of our people.
He urged that our traditional clothing become an integral part of our everyday clothing, and that our local languages must become integral to our daily lives, interwoven into education and practiced at home.
Referencing Standing Order 63, which captures the use of local language as optional in deliberations, he encouraged a renewed commitment to identity, saying it is significant that we “come home” and present who we are so future generations can inherit a story they can fully tell.
The Clerk, Mr. Ebenezer Ahumah Djietror, in his remarks commended officers for their dedication and devotion to duty, calling on them to go the extra mile and leave legacies.
Echoing the reminder that an unexamined life is not worth living, he described the event as an invitation to reconnect with our roots through cultural revival.
The Deputy Clerk, C&FMS, Dr. Gloria Sarku Kumawu, urged all not to forget their roots, the people behind the stories of ministries, industries, and the strides made both in-house and beyond.
What began last year has now become a meaningful tradition, showcasing Ghanaian heritage, fostering unity, and encouraging innovation under the principle of diversity for unity and diversity for progress, she added.
The gathering brought together leadership, public officials, and staff across all levels, along with the media, standing as a unifying platform that honored service, celebrated culture, and reaffirmed a shared commitment to national development.
