The Attorney General and Minister for Justice, who is also the Member of Parliament for Bolgatanga East, Dr Dominic Akuritinga Ayine, has expressed deep concern about what he described as the growing culture of disorder and disruptive behaviour in Parliament.

According to him, the situation sometimes makes him consider stepping away.

Speaking in an interview on Bolgatanga-based A1 Radio, Dr Ayine criticised the frequent table-banging, catcalls and confrontational conduct in the House, saying such actions undermine the dignity of Parliament and make it an uncomfortable environment for serious legislative work.

“To be honest, there are moments when I think about resigning and simply leaving. It has become that troubling. I feel extremely uneasy when we resort to banging tables and engaging in catcalls. I find that behaviour deeply unacceptable and unbecoming of lawmakers,” he said.

Dr Ayine emphasised that Parliament should be a place for sober reflection, respectful engagement and reasoned debate, noting that such standards are essential for strengthening Ghana’s democracy and sustaining public trust in state institutions.

He therefore appealed to his colleagues to reconsider their conduct and commit to resolving disagreements through dialogue and persuasion rather than rancour, stressing that lawmakers must uphold the decorum and values expected of them by the Ghanaian public.
