Parliament is appealed to by Ivy Heward-Mills, the wife of murdered member of parliament J.B. Danquah-Adu.

By Ivy Heward-Mills

Good morning, Parliament of Ghana.

Rt. Hon. Speaker, Hon Alban S.K. Bagbin

Hon. Majority Leader, Hon. Mahama Ayariga, Hon. Minority Leader, Hon. Alexander Kwamena Afenyo-Markin, and all Honourable MPs:

Respectfully, you have been silent.

In June 2016, Jo Cox, British MP, was murdered in London. The House of Commons and the House of Lords were NOT silent.

By November of the same year, Jo Cox’s murderer had been found, tried, convicted, and sentenced. All in 5 months. It didn’t bring her back, but it gave her family peace and closure. 9 years is a long time, but let it not be said that 10 years went by and Parliament looked on unperturbed.

Please accept the assurance of my highest consideration.
