Rt. Hon. Speaker Alban Kingsford Sumana Bagbin has corrected the misconception in the minds of people to the effect that there is a constitutional crisis in Ghana.
“There is no Constitutional crisis.I repeat, there is no constitutional crisis. The Parliament of Ghana is alive and working. Let nobody mislead, misinform, or disinform , you and the country “
According to him, it is the democratic system we adopted and enacted , as captured in the Constitution, 1992, and fleshed out in various laws, processes, procedures and practices, that has been triggered and it is working. “Let us allow it to work”, he stated.
“Democracy is about the rule of law. Let the law work. The democratic system we adopted and enacted recognizes, in the course of operationalizing the system, disagreements will occur, and challenges and problems will arise. The system has put in place mechanisms, structures and institutions, processes, procedures and rules to follow and apply to resolve the disagreement, convert the challenges into opportunities and provide solutions to the problems.this is what is being pursued and applied. There is no constitutional crisis in the country”.
He affirmed that parliament is alive and working. “It has not been dissolved, prorogued, prohibited, suspended or terminated. The plenary sitting and meetings of Parliament were only adjourned indefinitely due to lack of quorum to take decisions created by a walk out staged by the NPP Members who were available, as a result of a disagreement, he added.
