The Eighth(8th) Parliament is the best in Ghana’s parliamentary system, according to Ibrahim Ahmed, a Member of Parliament(MP) for the Bono Region’s Banda Constituency.

“The opposite is true, despite First Deputy Speaker Joe Osei Owusu’s assertions that this parliament is the worst,” he said.

According to data and many assessments, Ghana’s parliament is the finest and most transparent in Africa, he claimed.

As a result, he has urged the First Deputy Speaker to ignore his biased political portrayal of the House and instead speak to the facts.

In an interview with Frontline on Rainbow Radio 87.5FM, the Banda MP claimed to have described the present parliament as having accomplished a great deal.

“I can categorically state that this is the best parliament,” he said, disputing the idea that the current parliament’s standards had declined. The most transparent parliament in Africa is Ghana’s. Joe Wise knows. Ghana’s parliament is regarded as the world’s best. Joe Wise knows. The easiest way to characterize Joe Wise’s remarks is as political propaganda. His remarks remind me of the thwarted effort by a robber to rob a vigilant landlord.

The function of parliament goes beyond drafting legislation. It goes beyond that. We are in charge of monitoring and holding the executive to account. No parliament has carried out this duty more than eight times since 1991. The present parliament has shown greater bravery, effectiveness, and impartiality in providing appropriate scrutiny of the Executive. He said, “Isn’t this the same parliament that worked to lower the E-Levy’s original percentage?”

He said that the seventh parliament, which was presided over by Professor Mike Oquaye, was the worst in Ghanaian history and that the administration was embroiled in a number of scandals and controversies, including the PDS deal.

Ibrahim Ahmed urged Ghanaians to show gratitude to the Eighth Parliament for its unwavering commitment, dedication, and representation of the people’s interests.

“You will learn from your evaluation that Prof. Oquaye’s seventh parliament in Ghana was the worst. The interests of Ghanaians were not adequately represented by them. That parliament defended President Akufo-Addo’s interests at the expense of Ghanaians. We held the government responsible, so that would be the greatest parliament to examine if you want us to do so,” he stated.
