Kwabre East representative Kwasi Gyamfi Onyina-Acheampong revealed parliamentary speaking protocols during his Hot 93.9FM interview. The New Patriotic Party legislator explained that Speaker Alban Sumana Bagbin carefully chooses which members address the chamber. Onyina-Acheampong described how parliamentary participation differs from public expectations about member contributions. The newly elected opposition figure detailed the selection process that governs floor participation. He emphasized that raising hands does not guarantee speaking opportunities for all legislators.
Parliamentary leadership prioritizes eloquent communicators when distributing speaking time among members. Onyina-Acheampong acknowledged that certain colleagues possess superior oratorical skills that influence speaker decisions. The MP stated that potential embarrassment affects the entire legislative body when members perform poorly. He compared his chances against seasoned parliamentarian Kojo Oppong Nkrumah when both seek speaking opportunities. This selective approach protects parliamentary dignity while maintaining debate quality standards.
