Majority Leader, Osei Kyei-Mensah Bonsu says there’s enough reason to believe that some Members of Parliament on the National Democratic Congress (NDC) side have no understanding on Parliamentary business.
In an interview on Joy News, he noted the reactions of some NDC MPs following the approval of some ministerial nominees indicate they don’t understand Parliamentary practice.
“The last one, for instance, the approval of Ken Ofori Atta. The Committee came by a report recommending him to Parliament for approval by consensus. They themselves had not raised any issues against him, so they had agreed and recommended his approval to parliament by consensus.
“So consensus on two counts; from the committee and recommending to plenary to approve him by consensus. And yet when we came to the floor, it developed to something else. With a hostile backbench saying that no, rising up to say that let’s subject it to voting. And I was looking at it and I was asking myself what is happening?
“The approval of the policy after the debate on the budget, the approval also ended in a headcount. What is the point in this? To me it looks like some of them don’t understand the business of parliament,” he intimated.
