Verbal Attack on Zanetor Rawlings: Alhaji Said Sinare writes to Speaker Bagbin 

To the MP who made this disgraceful and uncivilized comment: your words reflect not only your pitiable intellect but also your utter moral bankruptcy.

The Speaker of Parliament
Accra, Ghana.
5th, Feb, 2025.

Dear RT Honorable Speaker,

CONDEMNING THE DEFAMATORY REMARK AGAINST DR. ZANETOR AGYEAMAN RAWLINGS

I write to you today as a former Member of Parliament for Ayawaso Central, compelled to address an abhorrent remark made by a member of Parliament under your watch concerning Dr. Zanetor Agyeaman Rawlings. To label her as “the daughter of a murderer” is not only a grotesque affront to her character but also an egregious insult to the legacy of our revered former president, Jerry John Rawlings.

Chairman Rawlings’s leadership for some of us who worked with him, was defined by a commitment to justice, accountability, and the empowerment of the marginalized. He championed the cause of the people and fought against corruption and tyranny. His contributions to our nation remain unparalleled, and it is both disgraceful and cowardly for any self-acclaimed MP to tarnish that legacy by launching such baseless and unsubstantiated accusations.

This brazen attack demonstrates a shocking level of ignorance and a complete disregard for the values of decency and respect that should be the hallmark of our legislative body. To hide behind the guise of political discourse while perpetuating such vile and unfounded accusations is nothing short of cowardly. This MP, whose identity must be revealed and scrutinized, has displayed an appalling lack of judgment and an abhorrent character that tarnishes the reputation of Parliament as a whole under your leadership.

To the MP who made this disgraceful and uncivilized comment: your words reflect not only your pitiable intellect but also your utter moral bankruptcy. You have shown yourself to be a desperate vagabond; a coward hiding behind political rhetoric to launch tasteless and unfounded attacks. Such conduct is an embarrassment to the institution of Parliament and a disservice to the very people you claim to represent.

I beseech you, Mr. Speaker, to take swift action to investigate this disgraceful comment from an irresponsible and reckless criminal and hold the offending so-called MP accountable for their distasteful remarks. Such an individual, capable of such base and malicious behavior, has no right to serve in a position meant to uphold the dignity and integrity of our legislative process

In addition, I invoke the words of the Holy Quran: “Indeed, those who harm the believers, both men and women, without the mistake they have committed, have certainly born upon themselves a slander and manifest sin.” (Quran 33:58). May this serve as a poignant reminder to that MP of the consequences of their slanderous comments.

Yours sincerely,

H.E. Alhaji Said Sinare
Former Member of Parliament for Ayawaso Central
