The Majority in Parliament has accused Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, the National Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), of exerting influence on the Minority Caucus to obstruct parliamentary proceedings.
The Majority argues that Nketiah’s alleged interference has consistently disrupted the smooth functioning of Parliament. This accusation comes after a directive by Asiedu Nketiah, urging NDC MPs to boycott any emergency recall of Parliament, which he claimed would be used to advance corrupt agendas.
In response, Alex Tetteh Djornobuah, the Second Deputy Majority Whip, criticized Nketiah’s actions, condemning them as detrimental to the legislative process and the effective governance of the country.
“I disagree with the National Chairman of the NDC. If you will recall, about two or three weeks ago, what happened in Parliament, was not the fault of the Members of Parliament. It was the control of the [NDC] National Chairman because we have witnessed this on several occasions when we are trying to cover business in Parliament.
“And if the NDC National Chairman, who is claiming that they are the next alternative to rule the country and this is what he is putting out, I don’t think Ghanaians should actually hear this.
“We have a business to do for Ghanaians and the Speaker, in his own wisdom, will recall Members of Parliament to come to transact business for Ghanaians, we the majority side will come.”
