Hon. Philip Buckman commends parliamentary committee for strengthening good governance

The Member of Parliament for Kwesimintsim, Philip Fiifi Buckman, has commended a parliamentary committee for what he described as its outstanding contribution to strengthening governance and deepening democratic participation in Ghana.

Speaking on the floor of Parliament on Friday, Mr Buckman said the committee had played a significant role in bringing governance closer to the people and deserved continued support from all stakeholders.

He stressed that Ghana’s democratic growth depends on the collective efforts of both citizens and leaders in promoting accountability, responsible participation, and national development.

According to him, democracy must be protected and encouraged, but acts of irresponsibility should not be tolerated, particularly when individuals attempt to justify misconduct on the basis of political affiliation or support.

“We believe in democracy and we must support democracy, we must support good governance, we must support everybody participating in the betterment of our state,” he stated.

Mr Buckman further urged the committee to remain committed to its mandate in order to sustain inclusive governance and strengthen citizen participation in the country’s democratic process.

He noted that continued collaboration between public institutions, political leaders, and citizens remains essential to achieving long-term national development and democratic stability in Ghana.
