play videoMP for North Tongu, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa
The Member of Parliament for North Tongu, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, has said that he is dissatisfied with the performance of the current hung parliament in the country.
According to him, this kind of parliament has not delivered up to the expectation of many who had faith.
Meanwhile the Speaker of the House, Alban Bagin, said to him, the hung parliament is the best thing to have happened in the history of legislation in Ghana hence it should be repeated.
But speaking on a Metro TV show on Friday, December 22, 2023, Ablakwa highlighted instances where, in his view, exposed the weaknesses of Ghana's democracy within the context of a hung parliament.
“The view is out there about the hung parliament. I also, like many Ghanaians, had high expectations with the very competitive numbers but I think that the hung parliament has rather exposed the ills of our democracy,” he said.
He referenced an incident in parliament where the approval of the budget for the finance ministry became a contentious issue.
