On the assumption of the high office of Speaker of the House of Parliament, chiefs and other traditional authorities of the Kaleo/Sankana/Takpo areas of the Upper West region have officially extended their congratulations to House Speaker of the eight Parliament of the fourth Republic, Honorable Alban Sumana Kingsford Bagbin.
According to them, his attainment of the position is testament to the goodwill he has obtained from his almost three decades of service as a Member of Parliament. This was contained in a press statement released by the traditional rulers.
Whilst paying glowing tributes to the Speaker, they expressed belief that the discharge of his duty in the third highest office in the land will be done fairly and yield developments.
Below is the statement in full:
Our Dear Son,
GARIBANYE! DZAAN BIE! FOR 28 LONG YEARS OF EXEMPLARY PUBLIC SERVICE TO MOTHER GHANA!
We have also heard the news. The good news of your elevation to the third most important job of our great Republic.
We, your Chiefs, and your people wanted you to know how proud we are of you!
Having known you all these years as the quintessential public servant, both in and out of Parliament, we were not entirely surprised that your colleagues in Parliament have today, not only recognized your impeccable track record in Parliament and in public service but have also emphatically (if unexpectedly) elected you as Speaker of the 8th Parliament of the 4th Republic of Ghana.
Having worked with you all these years, we know that your elevation would positively impact the lives of the people of our homeland and even beyond.
Please rest assured that you can always count on us for support, good counsel, and prayers in the discharge of your duties to mother Ghana.
In partnership, we look forward to working with you for the betterment of our people, our region, and our country.
Congratulations once again!
Yours sincerely,
Chiefs of the Kaleo/Sankana/Takpo Paramountcies
On behalf of our people and the entire Upper West Region.
