Parliament is one of the most important institutions in every democratic country. In Ghana, Parliament serves as the legislative arm of government and plays a vital role in making laws, representing the people, and overseeing the activities of the Executive. It ensures that government actions are carried out according to the Constitution and in the interest of the citizens. Without Parliament, democracy cannot function effectively because there would be no institution responsible for debating and approving laws that govern the country.<\/p>\n

Since Ghana returned to constitutional rule in 1992 under the Fourth Republic, Parliament has played a significant role in strengthening democracy, promoting accountability, and protecting the rights and freedoms of citizens. Every law that governs the country, except where otherwise provided by the Constitution, must pass through Parliament before it can be enforced. Members of Parliament (MPs), who are elected by the people, represent the interests of their constituencies while participating in national decision-making.<\/p>\n
