The Speaker of Ghana\u2019s Parliament, Rt Hon Alban Sumanan Kingsford Bagbin, has reiterated the legislature\u2019s commitment to modernising parliamentary practice and strengthening the professional capacity of Members of Parliament and staff.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Delivering a keynote address on his behalf at the inaugural meeting of the Network of Parliamentary Training Institutes (PTIs) in Accra on Monday, March 23, 2026, the First Deputy Speaker, Bernard Ahiafor, emphasised the urgent need to modernise parliamentary training frameworks in line with evolving global governance trends<\/p>\n

He noted that strong parliaments are not built by chance but through deliberate and sustained investment in people, systems and institutions.<\/p>\n

According to the Speaker, the growing complexity of governance requires legislatures to continuously strengthen their competence and adaptability.<\/p>\n

\u201cParliamentary democracy is increasingly being called upon to address complex governance challenges in a rapidly changing world,\u201d the statement noted. \u201cThese responsibilities require not only institutional authority but also institutional competence and ongoing professional development.\u201d<\/p>\n

Speaker Bagbin highlighted the critical role of parliamentary training institutes, describing them as the backbone of capacity development within legislatures.<\/p>\n

He stressed that training should no longer be treated as an occasional activity but must become a strategic and institutionalised function.<\/p>\n

\u201cTraining must no longer be seen as an occasional activity. It must be regarded as a strategic institutional function,\u201d the address said, adding that such institutes must go beyond organising workshops to shaping institutional culture, supporting reforms and fostering innovation.<\/strong><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The event, held on the theme \u201cPTIs: Peer Learning and Networking,\u201d brought together parliamentary leaders, clerks and representatives of international organisations including the Inter-Parliamentary Union. The meeting aims to strengthen collaboration among parliamentary training institutions across the world.<\/p>\n

Speaker Bagbin revealed that Ghana\u2019s Parliamentary Training Institute has already made notable progress in building capacity within the legislature.<\/p>\n

According to him, the institute organised 36 training programmes last year, benefiting nearly 2,800 participants, including Members of Parliament, parliamentary staff and representatives from foreign legislatures.<\/p>\n

He expressed optimism that the meeting would lay the foundation for a stronger global network of institutions working together on curriculum development, research and digital learning initiatives.<\/p>\n

The Speaker also urged participants to move beyond discussions and focus on practical actions that would enhance parliamentary effectiveness.<\/p>\n

\u201cLet us not only discuss challenges but co-create solutions and commit to actions that will strengthen our institutions,\u201d he said<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Majority Leader Mahama Ayariga called for a broader and more inclusive approach to capacity building, stressing that training should extend beyond Members of Parliament and parliamentary staff to cover the entire legislative ecosystem.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is this ecosystem that parliamentary training institutes must focus on, and not just the institution of Parliament alone,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n

\"\"

Speaking on behalf of Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin, the Member of Parliament for Old Tafo, Vincent Ekow Assafuah, called for comprehensive policies to guide capacity-building programmes in response to the increasing complexity of parliamentary work.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor this network to succeed, there must be sustained investment and relevance,\u201d he said. \u201cThe world is changing, and our training must change with it by incorporating digital governance, data literacy, climate policy and inclusive representation.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n
    \"\"Hon Vincent Asfuah<\/strong><\/ul>\n<\/div>\n

    In his welcome remarks, the Clerk to Parliament, Ebenezer Ahumah Djietror, said the continuous capacity building and professional development of Members of Parliament and staff is fundamental to maintaining public trust in the legislature.<\/p>\n

    He noted that the network meeting provides a practical platform for institutional learning, sharing parliamentary best practices and developing training programmes that respond to the evolving demands of democratic governance and legislative processes across Africa.<\/p>\n
