The Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin, does not want people to expect him to be neutral in the discharge of his duties.
Speaking during a visit by the Council of State, Mr. Bagbin said, “in the performance of my functions, I will be impartial, but that doesn’t mean I will be neutral.”
While he said he has “good friends on the other side of the political divide”, the Speaker added that “I don’t expect either party to be praising me.”
This notwithstanding, Mr. Bagbin admitted that he would always have an interest in issues that come before him.
“Any matter that comes before the house, I cannot be neutral because I have an interest in it, but in performing my duty as a speaker, I have to be impartial,” he said.
