I Never Said Bediatuo Wrote To Parliament Without Akufo-Addo’s Consent – Kyei-Mensah

Majority Leader, Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu has denied claims that he said Nana Asante Bediatuo, executive secretary to the President acted on his own accord by writing a letter to cap the budget for the legislature and judiciary without approval from the president.

According to him his comment was misconstrued and it was most unfortunate.

“The interviewer had asked whether we had really engaged the President. And I said yes, there was an engagement with the President, unfortunately, the engagement was not conclusive until the President left. And then the Secretary thinking that we had about ended, wrote to us with respect to the request to Parliament and the Judiciary.

“Nothing in what I said suggests to anybody that Nana Asante Bediatuo acted unilaterally and that there was no engagement. So it came as a surprise that it was interpreted to mean that I had suggested that Nana Asante Bediatuo had acted unilaterally,” he stressed.

He continued, “There was no such communication from me. And if that was the understanding of the person who was interviewing me, I think it was most unfortunate.
