Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin has expressed significant worries regarding the safety of legislators and their personnel, pointing to persistent security risks within the parliamentary compound.
During his speech at the inauguration of the Parliamentary Service Board for the Ninth Parliament, he emphasized the critical necessity for improved security measures.
“One of the challenges that need to be addressed is to secure the parliamentary enclave to ensure the safety of members and staff. This has been a worrying matter for parliament for some time now, we are actually insecure here,” he stated.
Bagbin depicted a concerning scenario, disclosing that unauthorized persons have managed to breach the premises and initiate assaults.
“We are not safe. Sometimes people can come in and attack us or staff, and anytime there is an attempt to apprehend them, they scale over the wall and escape into the forest,” he lamented.
He emphasized that addressing this matter is essential for the proper operation of parliament and encouraged the newly established board to make it a priority.
“This is vital for the functioning of parliament. I believe the ninth board will work assiduously to make this a reality,” he added.
Requesting action from parliamentary leaders, he urged them to address the issue to guarantee definitive measures are implemented to strengthen security in the enclave.
“I will call on the leaders of the house to follow up on this matter,” he said.
