Alban Bagbin New Style Has Social Media Talking. If the contentious E-Levy had been reintroduced to Parliament today, it might have been the only thing that divided the House, because the Speaker’s new costume had unanimous support among MPs.
Speaker Alban Bagbin wore more indigenous clothing on opening day on Tuesday instead of his normal ceremonial garb.
The switch was impossible to notice for social media users who were greeted by this abrupt transformation.
