Minority Members of Parliament have stated that they’ll not allow the ruling New Patriotic Party and its MPs have their way in the 8th Parliament despite calls by President Akufo-Addo to work together.
Speaking on Asempa FM, MP for Sagnarigu constituency, Alhassan Bashir A. Fuseini noted that the President calls for both NPP and NDC MPs to work together smacks of hypocrisy and insincerity.
He questioned why the President failed to make such calls in 2016 when the NPP had an overwhelming majority in Parliament.
“When he was president in the seventh Parliament why didn’t he make that call? His call is irrelevant because he has seen that Ghanaians have given the NDC majority. I’m indicating to you that he has seen that he has no way in this Parliament so he is only accepting reality. It is not a sincere call and we on the other side don’t see it as a sincere call and we reject it. He is trying to steal our Parliamentary seat and on the one hand he is telling us to cooperate,” ABA Fuseini was quoted by Ghanaweb.
He added “we categorically reject that call. Now the supreme interest of this country is paramount. The scandals we saw in the first term will not have a place in this Parliament. We are going to uphold the supreme interest of this country.”
