Haruna Iddrisu questions exclusion of Speaker, Chief Justice from siren privileges in new Traffic Law

Former Minority Leader, Haruna Iddrisu has questioned the thinking behind excluding the Chief Justice and the Speaker of Parliament from high-ranking public officials permitted to install a siren in their official vehicles and use a motorcade.

He is of the view that there are four most important personalities in the country as of now, including the president, the vice president, the speaker, and the chief justice.

Therefore, the decision to remove them from the list of high-profile public officials permitted to use sirens in their official vehicles is worrying.

“Without personalising it, it is not Alban Sumana Bagbin. It is the Speaker of Ghana’s Parliament and he is not entitled to a motorcade or a police siren.? In my view Mr Speaker, it is wrong for the number three to be out of this privilege,” he stated.

He added “The Chief Justice of the Republic of Ghana is also out of the Motor Traffic Regulation and not entitled to it. Mr Speaker, you can keep a minister and member of parliament but this republic has four important personalities; the president, the vice president, the speaker and the chief justice”

It will be remembered that the L.I. was previously withdrawn due to public backlash over the proposal to grant Members of Parliament (MPs) similar privileges.
