I think it\u2019s time he recognises that he\u2019s benefitting from something he didn\u2019t work for,\u201d he stated in an interview cited by pro-NPP Asaase Radio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Aside from his comments about the President, Bagbin is also on record as touting his role as the second most powerful man in Ghana by virtue of being the leader of the second arm of government, the legislature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He cites a Supreme Court Justice\u2019 interpretation that the Speaker is above the Vice President going strictly by existing laws.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhen you start from His Excellency the President, you have to go to the Vice before you come to the Speaker and then you go to the Chief Justice,\u201d he said of the known hierarchy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then continued: \u201cBut we have three arms of government\u2026 my colleagues in the Supreme Court told me that actually, you are not number three, you are number two. All those who were present at that meeting were convinced when the Supreme Court judge made the submission and justified it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt is not me saying it. I have said I am number three but they said I am number two. The three arms of government \u2013 the Executive, the Legislature and the Judiciary \u2013 are equal arms of government, and must be treated as such.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On both occasions, he spoke at a retreat for Members of Parliament over the weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Send your news stories to\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:dannyboy744@gmail.com\">dannyboy744@gmail.com<\/a>\u00a0and via WhatsApp on +233 266777777<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The General Secretary of the NPP is unhappy with the Speaker of Parliament John Boadu says Alban Bagbin is reaping where he hasn\u2019t sown He was reacting to recent \u2018power\u2019 comments by the Speaker General Secretary of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) has lashed out at the Speaker of Parliament Alban Bagbin over some [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":33499,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"iawp_total_views":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[944],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-33497","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-top-news-top-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
