Member of Parliament for Tema West, Carlos Ahenkorah has explained his actions after snatching ballot sheets in Parliament while counting was ongoing to select the new Speaker.
According to him he did that to ensure President Nana Akufo-Addo had the peace of mind to govern.
While admitting that he couldn’t control his loyalty to the New Patriotic Party (NPP), he pleaded with friends, family and Ghanaians to forgive him.
“I did it for the grassroots who relied on us in power to survive, the president who needs some peace to run the country and the greater NPP party as a whole because we cannot always allow the NDC to threaten and vilify us”.
“I apologise though to my family and friends, both far and near, who may be affected by my actions.”
“The NPP in me couldn’t be controlled. I apologise but I tried!!!”
