Speaker of Parliament, Rt Hon. Alban Sumana Kingsford Bagbin has withdrawn his membership from the Ghana Bar Association (GBA).
” I am no longer a member of GBA,” he told a delegation from the newly created association of lawyers: the Law Society of Ghana (LSG) when they paid a courtesy call on him at his office.
Speaker Bagbin claimed that he did not seem to benefit from the GBA and therefore ceases to be a member of the association.
GBA has now become an association of elites, he stressed adding people are worried about the state of GBA and its actions.
He intimated he’s now aligned with the Law Society of Ghana(LSG) assuring that “I will support the LSG wholeheartedly and with the right opportunities irrespective of the numbers of members so long as we are focused and committed, we can make tremendous waves.”
He advised LSG to come up with reasoned opinions and critique law reports and publish them in journals.
