Treat with disdain attempt to smear Speaker- Parliament

According to Parliament, their attention has been drawn to a video circulating on social media insinuating that the Speaker of Parliament, Rt. Hon. Alban Sumana Kingsford Bagbin has been invited to a meeting with the President to negotiate a settlement in respect of the pronouncement by the Rt. Hon. Speaker on Thursday, October 17, 2024.

This is in response to a call by the Minority Leader to declare the seats of four (4) Members of Parliament vacant.

“Parliament states without any equivocation that there is no iota of truth in the insinuation
in the cireulated video,” the statement added.

Parliament further stated that “video in question was taken on July 4, 2024, when the Rt.Hon. Speaker led a delegation to present the maiden democracy cup to the President.”

According to the statement, “The attempt to wrongly label the video and twist facts to impugn the integrity of the Rt. Hon.Speaker and Parliament is not only disingenuous but unfortunate.”

“The general public is hereby advised to ignore the attempt to hoodwink them into believing what has never transpired and treat the narrative with the contempt it deserves,” they concluded.
