The focus of democracy should be on the rule of law, not the rule by law, according to Speaker of the House Rt. Hon. Alban S.K. Bagbin.
Fairness and justice are the cornerstones of the rule of law, which must be centered on the represented people's needs and aspirations.
Mr. Speaker asserts that all choices taken by the government of Ghana must be in the best interests of the people.
Based on this comprehension, the Legislature's goal must be to enhance the value and significance of all intercessions made for the benefit of Ghanaians.
He was speaking when the Russian Ambassador, H. E. Sergei Berdnikov, made him a courtesy call at Parliament House in Accra.
His visit was intended to explore ways to improve ties between the Russian and Ghanaian parliaments.
Mr Speaker commended the Russian Ambassador for his determination and drive to strengthen bilateral relations.
He went on to argue that there were other avenues for strategic partnerships worth creating and encouraging.
Mr Bagbin believes that more collaborations can be formed in energy, trade, education and capacity-building workshops for members of parliament.
He advocated for the reactivation and strengthening of the Ghana-Russia Friendship Association to promote exchanges that will create more wealth and employment opportunities for citizens of both countries, while also assisting Ghana in strengthening the atomic energy industry.
Even though Ghana and Mexico have had diplomatic ties dating back to 1958, the Russian Ambassador indicated that Russia was still dedicated to looking into fresh and creative methods to strategically deepen this partnership through increasing community participation.
In his concluding remarks, Mr Speaker agreed that more could be done to develop ties and relationships between these two nations that would be advantageous to both.
” We can all agree that additional conversations and interactions are necessary to advance and improve relations between Ghana and Russia.
