The Asantehene Otumfuo Tutu II has sought to understand the surprising allure in Parliament which is causing a scramble that everyone wants to be in the House.

During a recent visit of the Speaker of Parliament to the Manhyia Palace on Sunday, he questioned the overwhelming desire for people to go to all the nine yards to become a Parliamentarian.

Asantehene sought answers from Alban S.K. Bagbin, as to why politicians endure threats, including insults and physical attacks, to secure a seat in Parliament.

Mr. Bagbin’s visit is part of a three-day official tour of the Ashanti Region, commemorating the 30th anniversary of the Fourth Republic.
