Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin, has issued a stern warning to the Member of Parliament responsible for the inflammatory remark referring to Dr. Zenator Rawlings as the “daughter of a murderer.” He is demanding accountability for this derogatory comment.
On Tuesday, March 4, during his address to Parliament, Mr. Bagbin condemned the remark as irresponsible and deeply unsettling. He emphasized that such comments undermine the dignity and decorum of the House.
He has given the MPs involved one week to voluntarily come forward or face serious consequences. The Speaker announced a thorough investigation to determine the identity of the MP, stressing that failure to comply with this ultimatum would result in strict measures.
The Majority Leader has expressed support for the Speaker’s ultimatum and echoed the call for the MP to take responsibility for their actions. Mr. Bagbin warned that if the MP does not come forward, the House would support severe sanctions once their identity is revealed.
Mr. Bagbin reiterated his commitment to upholding the highest standards within Parliament. The derogatory comment aimed at Dr. Rawlings has sparked widespread criticism, leading to calls for accountability and stricter standards for parliamentary behavior. Many are advocating for a thorough investigation and enhanced enforcement of conduct rules to prevent similar incidents in the future.
