Just In: NDC Petitions Bagbin To Sack First Deputy Speaker Of Parliament
The Bono East Regional Youth Wing of the opposition National Democratic Congress has petitioned the Speaker of Parliament, Alban Sumana Kingsford Bagbin, to expel the First Deputy Speaker and Member of Parliament for Bekwai, Joseph Osei-Owusu, from the lawmaking house.
The call by the opposition party membership comes at the back of a recent statement made by the MP.
“During the last State of the Nation’s Address of Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo on January 5, 2021, he refused to acknowledge the wicked shooting of thirteen (13) unarmed citizens of Techiman South Constituency by armed security men leading to the death of three (3). Hon. Joseph Osei-Owusu was questioned why the President did not say anything about the deaths of Ghanaians recorded at Techiman and other places. He replied by likening those shot in Techiman as criminals or armed robbers who need no commiseration,” portions of the petition addressed to the Speaker reads.
They add that Mr Osei-Owusu owing to his utterances has exhibited a lack of emotional intelligence, something that is highly required of him as First Deputy Speaker of the legislature.
“Mr. Speaker, we believe the functions of the First Deputy Speaker is so sensitive to the August House as well as Ghana’s democratic development, as such, the occupant needs someone with emotional intelligence to occupy, since Parliament is the House of the people.”
The group has, therefore, urged Mr Bagbin to invoke article 95 (2) (d) of the constitution and expel Mr Osei-Owusu from the house of parliament.

There Was Understanding Between NDC And Our Parliamentary Leadership To Reject Hawa Koomson – Sammy Gyamfi
National Communications Officer of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Sammy Gyamfi has indicated that the party and its leadership in Parliament had an understanding to reject Fisheries Minister designate, Mavis Hawa Koomosn in the interest of the nation.
According to him, Mrs Koomson’s performance at her vetting was obvious she is unfit for the job and therefore had to be rejected.
“There was an understanding between our party leadership and our people in Parliament in the interest of the nation, it was not in the interest of NDC. Because for a woman who carries a gun and fires it at a polling station, she doesn’t care whether people are killed and then when she mounts a platform, she incites people by telling them how-to beat-up others well. Truly she brought her thugs to beat up our Secretary,” he told Power FM on March 5.
He continued: “Today, I don’t want people to feel sad but a woman like that couldn’t even define fish farming. She is not fit to be minister. For a person like that it is not in the interest of the nation to approve her,” he added.

Clergy Declares War On Akufo-Addo’s Cathedral; Vows Not To Worship In A Building Designed By LGBTQ+ Advocate
Founder and Presiding Bishop of Gospel Light International Church, Rt. Rev. Matthew Addae – Mensah has declared that no Christian will be worshipping in President Akufo-Addo’s National Cathedral which is being built by an LGBTQ advocate.
This comes after reports that Sir David Adjaye, the architect of the Cathedral backed the legalisation and recognition of LGBTQ+ groups in the country.
Reacting to this, Rev Addae according to mynewsgh, indicated that Mr Adjaye had shown disrespect to the Christian values and the country’s culture there he’s not fit to build the cathedral.
‘I believe, for Sir David Adjaye throwing his support for the LGBTQ+ Community in Ghana means he has no respect for Christians and the cultural values of Ghana’,” he was quoted by mynewsgh.
There are equally better architectures in Ghana who can do the project. He should resign. David Adjaye has shown that he has no respect for the Christian community in Ghana. He has clearly demonstrated that there is a difference between knowledge and wisdom.”
“Since he cherishes and values such abominable foreign practices then I have the right to say that he is not fit to be granted the honour by the President of the land to handle a holy edifice such as the National Cathedral.”
