Bagbin tells MPs: If you don't need me, I'll go to my village to unwind.

Speaker of Ghana's Parliament, Alban Bagbin, has made it clear that he's willing to step down and return to his village if he's no longer wanted. He expressed his readiness to leave office during a recent media address, citing concerns about Ghana's uncertain legal system and its impact on investment and development ¹.

Bagbin highlighted how investors are hesitant to put their money into Ghana due to the unclear laws, which leads to issues with the courts and system. He questioned, "When you talk about unemployment and underdevelopment under us, who is to blame?" This statement underscores his frustration with the current state of affairs.

The Speaker also reflected on President Akufo-Addo's inaugural speech, where he urged Ghanaians to be active citizens, not mere spectators. However, Bagbin noted that Ghanaians have reverted to being spectators, rather than taking an active role in shaping their country's future.

Emphasizing his commitment to leadership, Bagbin stated, "Being a leader is a course, and any other thing that follows is an effect." He reassured the public that he has no personal ambitions or ill intentions, and if the people don't want him, he'll gladly return to his village, where he'll be welcomed back.

As Speaker, Bagbin affirmed that he makes his own decisions and takes full responsibility for the consequences. This stance showcases his willingness to take a stand and lead, even in challenging times .
