What Voice Does The Speaker Have That Is Being Muted Or Gagged? - Majority Caucus Descends On Alban Bagbin
A disappointed Majority Caucus in Parliament has questioned the locus for which the Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin, would create an impression that he is being gagged. According to the Majority Caucus, the position of the Speaker of Parliament makes him a neutral person, for which reason he isn't allowed to talk on just about anything he wants, any time. “The statement from the Speaker's office emphasises that the withdrawal of the military personnel is an attempt to gag Mr. Bagbin. Therefore, what voice does the Speaker have that is being muted or gagged?” the statement read in part. Bagbin is unappreciative of these gestures from the state,” the statement added.

In an interview that aired on Accra-based Asaase Radio, the senior Vatican official pointed Ghana in the direction of Rwanda as a good reference point with respect to regulation of especially the activities of church leaders. His views are at variance with that of a number of Charismatic church leaders who have openly opposed what they say is a move by the Ghana Police Service to impose regulations on their activities. “On the 6th of January the police sent a communique…they said the police is analysing the prophecies of the various churches.
