We have noticed that some people are posting pictures of Speaker Bagbin posing in a picture with former president John Mahama in the background.
Please note that that picture is not from us and the page on which it was posted does not belong to the Parliament of Ghana.
Parliament has only one Facebook page which is verified and that’s where we post all authentic news and other information from Parliament.
As we seek to build a unified country, we implore all to desist from acts that will further divide our people.
Speaker Bagbin himself has indicated a need for unity in Parliament and Ghana as a whole and the least we can do to support him is to ensure that we do not generate and spread fake news that will bring the name of Parliament into disrepute.
This is the photo of Speaker Bagbin in his holding room in the Chamber Block.
