    Arise Ghana youth for your country, the nation demands your devotion, let us all unite to uphold her and make her great and strong. We are all involved, we are all involved, we are all involved in building our motherland!

  • Asterisk 2 years ago

    Good comments Frankie. I remember in the 80s we used to sing this song in schools. We all need to build our country and make her great and strong.

    We also need to uphold the integrity of the institutions of governance.

  • Yaw 2 years ago

    Good, there must be security within the country. Soldiers are for war, protecting the boarders and polishing of boots. They are not needed in parliament else chaos. If they try this time around, what will be will be.

    Another idiot. What is the lawlessness in what both parties are seeking?

  • Yaw 2 years ago

    Are you talking about law? Quote the law the the NDC is supposed to obey. Is there any law which says whatever chief justice says you must obey? Judges always quote written laws in their rulings. No judge gives orders from th ...

  • Atsu, Ho 2 years ago

    Very ignorant contribution. Who should interpret the constitution? Should it be Bag bin or you?

  • InStarGram 2 years ago

    What interpretation are you talking about..???? Is that simple and easy language in the constitution that Bagbin applied too difficult for mumu Akuffo Addo and his UNANIMOUS FC to understand?

  • AK 2 years ago

    If they misbehave, the President, in consultation with all stakeholders, will dissolve the Parliament. The Speaker and Parliamentarians cannot hold this country to ransom. Thanks for the level headedness of Hon Marking.

  • NDC HAVE DONE IT AGAIN!! 2 years ago

    The last time NDC had a tussle with the Supreme Court going into an election was in 2016 with the "Montie 3" saga and the electorate punished them severely for it with their worst result ever.

    They have done it again!

  • History repeating itself! 2 years ago

    Yes, NDC people have very short memory. On that case they challenged the Supreme Court and the people of Ghana punished them for it.

    Looks like history repeating itself.

  • Ruthan 2 years ago

    They will definitely remain in opposition for another 8yrs to teach them a lesson.

  • Gbagbin is a disgrace 2 years ago

    Gbagbin is facing humiliation. Took a day to ruin his 40yrs political career ! This is what arrogance and hubris does to one.

  • BOY KOFI 2 years ago

    I will not be surprised if Bagbin resigns today or goes to court to challenge the Suprême Court's directive.
    In other words,I don't expect parliament to sit today.Tnx.
