Ghanaian MPs made a bold move to promote local languages by speaking them during parliamentary proceedings on World Mother Tongue Day. This initiative is part of a broader effort to preserve Ghana’s cultural heritage and promote cultural diversity.

According to Speaker Alban Bagbin, Parliament will incorporate local languages into official proceedings, allowing MPs to express themselves in their native tongues with translation provided for all.

This move aims to revitalize indigenous languages and foster a sense of national identity.To make this initiative a success, the Speaker assured that necessary facilities, including translators and gadgets, will be provided. This development comes after a spirited conversation on the floor about dying indigenous languages, led by MP Emmanuel Armah Kofi Buah.

It’s exciting to see Ghanaian MPs taking steps to promote their rich cultural heritage and linguistic diversity!
