The Speaker of Parliament, Rt. Hon. Alban Kingsford, Sumana Bagbin, has made a passionate appeal for the construction of modern prison facilities across the country to meet international standards and help protect the rights and dignity of inmates.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Speaking in Accra on Monday, June 23, 2025, during a courtesy call by the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) Secretariat and UNICEF, in collaboration with Parliament\u2019s Select Committee on Human Rights, Rt. Hon. Bagbin emphasized that “Parliament, as the representative organ of government, will hold the executive accountable for any breaches of human rights or failure to uphold human dignity.”<\/p>\n

The Speaker underscored the importance of Parliament\u2019s role in promoting human and children\u2019s rights, stating that \u201cour role as Parliament in the promotion and protection of human rights is very, very crucial.\u201d<\/p>\n

He further stressed that the 1992 Constitution gives Parliament more than enough power to protect the rights of all Ghanaians.<\/p>\n

Addressing representatives of the IPU and UNICEF, as well as other dignitaries, Speaker. Bagbin welcomed them warmly, saying, \u201cOn behalf of the Parliament of Ghana, I deem it an honour to host the Inter-Parliamentary Union and to share these few welcome remarks as a gesture of my unwavering commitment to the role of Parliament in promoting and protecting human rights.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Speaker recounted Ghana\u2019s journey and engagement with the United Nations\u2019 Universal Periodic Review (UPR) process and praised Parliament\u2019s increasing involvement.<\/p>\n

\u201cHistorically, Parliament has not been involved in the UPR process. But for the first time, we participated in the fourth cycle in January 2023, and I ensured that our voice was represented even when I couldn\u2019t attend personally,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n

Speaker Bagbin revealed that Parliament played a key role in ensuring that Ghana accepted and supported 268 out of 298 UPR recommendations, including the abolition of the death penalty, passage of the Affirmative Action (Gender Equity) Act, and measures against child labour and trafficking.<\/p>\n

Touching on Ghana\u2019s prison conditions, the Speaker reiterated Parliament\u2019s commitment to improving them. \u201cYou all recall the recent reports by the Human Rights Committee on the state of our prisons. This speaks volumes of Parliament’s commitment to improving prison conditions and ensuring the welfare of inmates,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

He added that the newly established Human Rights Committee of Parliament has visited detention centers and is facilitating the establishment of a National Preventive Mechanism (NPM) in line with Ghana\u2019s ratification of international conventions against torture.<\/p>\n

The Speaker also highlighted legislative milestones, including the passage of the Armed Forces Amendment Bill to abolish the death penalty in military justice and the passage of the Criminal Offences Amendment Bill, which addressed witchcraft accusations\u2014although the latter awaits presidential assent.<\/p>\n

On the international front, he acknowledged Ghana\u2019s recognition by the UN Human Rights Council, saying, \u201cOur commitment at the IPU review meetings in Geneva contributed immensely to Ghana being elected to chair the UN Human Rights Council. That is a role we cherish, and we will not allow anyone to take that from us.\u201d<\/p>\n

He also commended the support of civil society and institutions like the Commission on Human Rights and Administrative Justice (CHRAJ), which he described as \u201ckey accountability partners\u201d in Parliament\u2019s human rights agenda.<\/p>\n

Former Kenyan Senate Speaker and IPU executive committee member, Hon. Ekwee David Ethuro, who led the visiting delegation, commended Speaker Bagbin\u2019s leadership and Parliament\u2019s reforms.<\/p>\n

\u201cI remember during that online workshop you committed to establishing the Human Rights Committee\u2014and it has now become a reality,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\"\"
PRISON GUARDS RECRUITS<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

He added, \u201cYou are one of our most active members, not only committed to human rights but also to the World Speakers Conference. This is just the beginning of a long journey with the Parliament of Ghana.\u201d<\/p>\n

UNICEF and the IPU will support a three-day workshop involving about 60 Ghanaian Members of Parliament to further strengthen the legislature\u2019s role in safeguarding human rights in Ghana.<\/p>\n
