In a dramatic appeal that could shake Ghana’s political corridors, Speaker of Parliament Alban Bagbin has publicly called on the government to release land for the construction of a new Parliament House — citing urgent space constraints and the growing demands of governance.
Bagbin didn’t mince words, stressing that the current facilities are insufficient to accommodate the expanding legislature and modern parliamentary functions. “We cannot compromise the efficiency of our democracy because of lack of space,” he warned, urging swift government action.
The move has sparked intense debate among lawmakers and political commentators. Supporters say it’s a bold step toward modernizing Ghana’s legislative infrastructure, while critics question funding priorities and the timeline for execution.
As tensions mount and discussions intensify, all eyes are on the government to see if it will heed Bagbin’s call — a decision that could define the future of Ghanaian governance for decades to come.
The Parliament House saga is heating up, and it looks like the battle over bricks, land, and legacy is just beginning.
