Following the ongoing parliamentary crisis, the Executive Director of Parliamentary Network Africa, Sammy Obeng, has urged the executive branch of government to do whatever it can to protect the country.

He says it is necessary for President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo to engage with both arms- the Judiciary and the Legislature- of government to address the situation before the upcoming general elections in December.

“The executive branch has two more months left in its four-year tenure, and it has a responsibility to ensure the country remains stable, reaching out to Parliament to act swiftly and doing the right thing to ensure that government business in Parliament does not stall,” he told Benjamin Akakpo on Thursday’s AM Show on Joy News.

Mr Obeng added, “And if that means His Excellency the President, Nana Addo, must come down from his throne, so to speak, and reach out to the legislature proactively, he must, because it would be his government that will suffer if things do not go well.”

He emphasised that Members of Parliament (MPs) should exhibit professionalism as Parliament resumes today, Thursday, 7th November 2024.

“They must show us in today’s gathering and subsequent meetings that they are truly the House of Representatives—representatives of whom? The people, not the political parties that elected them into Parliament,” he said.
