Walewale MP withdraws ‘rude’ comment on Bagbin’s Parliament recall, apologises

The apology followed a rebuke from Speaker Bagbin during Parliament’s emergency sitting on Tuesday, September 29, after the Speaker addressed comments made by the MP during a press engagement on the recall.

The Member of Parliament for Walewale, Dr Kabiru Tiah Mahama, has withdrawn his description of Speaker Alban Bagbin’s decision to recall Parliament as “rude” and apologised to the Speaker and the House.

Mr Bagbin said MPs were entitled to criticise his decisions but cautioned that such criticism should not undermine the dignity of Parliament or the authority of the Speaker’s office.
