Bagbin Gets Social Media Talking After Storming Parliament In Kente Cloth

Published

On Tuesday, Speaker Alban Bagbin ditched his usual ceremonial outfit on opening day for more indigenous wear.

For social media users who had been greeted by this sudden change, the switch was hard to miss.

Some weeks ago, Mr Bagbin announced that he would only be using the Speaker’s cloak for ceremonial occasions this year as part of his commitment to change the dress code and code of conduct of MPs.

Mr Bagbin has stayed true to his word.

He was seen in his seat today, clad in kente cloth over a white lace shirt and a crown as he regulated the sitting of the House.

The combination looks typical of the costume Ewe chiefs wear at key traditional functions.

“From now on, I want to see our members appear in parliament decently adorned in traditional dress,” he said to the agreement of the house.

Here’s how Ghanaians reacted to the new look on twitter.
