Bagbin vows to stop Nana Addo from appointing MPs as Board members.

The Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin, has announced to review rules in Parliament to stop the Executive arm of government from appointing Members of Parliament as head of state institutions.

He has vowed to stop President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo from appointing MPs as Board members.

Bagbin said "In Parliament today, the governing party has a lot of the members through patronage. They are made chairs of boards, members of boards, and chief executives of some institutions but they are members of parliament, so how can you come and criticise the same thing that you are involved in."

He indicated that henceforth, the Executive arm of government will be required to seek clearance from the office of the Speaker, as dictated by the Constitution before such appointments are made.
