Ghana’s Parliament: a house of honour or a house of shame?

Ghana’s Parliament: a house of  honour or a house of shame?
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Good people of Ghana,

There comes a time when a nation must rise and hold accountable those entrusted with its destiny.

Today, we turn our gaze to Parliament, not with pride, but with profound sorrow and righteous anger.

What should be the highest chamber of national discourse has degenerated into a theatre of disgrace.

Grown men and women, entrusted with the hopes of millions, now brawl like street fighters, trade insults like those who fight in a market, and wield power not for the people, but for petty vendettas.

IS THIS WHAT GHANA IS BUILDING?

Recently, during the vetting process, our so-called Honourable Members turned Parliament into a wrestling arena. Tables were overturned, microphones smashed, punches thrown. Is this the conduct of leaders? Or the recklessness of men and women who have lost all sense of duty?

And what of truth? One MP shamelessly brandished a forged image to tarnish the reputation of a colleague. Others openly abused the Deputy Clerk of Parliament with impunity. Worst of all, an MP sitting on the sacred floor of Parliament accused the daughter of J.J. Rawlings of being the offspring of a murderer and labeled the former President himself as one. Is this the honorable Parliament we aspire to? A place now rife with slander?

Even more disturbing is how the vetting process, meant to assess competence, has become a tool for political revenge. The Minority Caucus boldly declared their intent to block nominees not because of a lack of merit, but because those nominees dared to disagree with them. Is this democracy? Or tyranny disguised as representation?

HONOURABLE MEMBERS, HAVE YOU NO SHAME?

Parliament is not your personal battlefield. It is the house of the people’s will. You do not sit there for yourselves; you sit there for Ghana. If you cannot carry out this duty with dignity, then step aside.

And what of the Minority Chief Whip’s appalling call to violence? To urge supporters to assault others based on political affiliation is a betrayal of every principle that underpins our democracy. Such statements have no place in a civil society, let alone from those who bear the title “Honourable.” It is an affront to every Ghanaian who believes in peace, unity, and the rule of law.

The conduct of Parliament reflects in its every action. The nation watches. The youth watch. Yet we witness MPs laughing, playing, talking over one another, chewing gum whiles asking official questions. Others make phone calls as serious matters of state are discussed. This is not the discipline, decorum, or seriousness we expect from those who hold the trust of millions.

Parliamentarians are meant to be role models. Through its constant visibility on television, Parliament shapes the values of society. But what example are you setting for the youth, the future leaders of this nation? How can you inspire discipline, maturity, and order in society when you, the very custodians of these values, fail to embody them?

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.

We, the people, are watching. Ghana deserves better. If you cannot change, we will find men and women who will.

Signed,
New Ghana Alliance
Guardians
