General Secretary of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Johnson Asiedu Nketia has admonished Majority leader, Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu over his accusation that Speaker, Alban Bagbin is turning Parliament into an NDC enclave.
According to Mr Nketia, did Kyei-Mensah expect Bagbin to appoint his political opponents as advisors.
He noted that Kyei-Mensah since President Akufo-Addo’s ascension to power has been defending his nepotistic appointments yet he has issues with Bagbin appointing political allies to advise him.
He continued: “I am wondering whether Mr Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu was expecting Bagbin to appoint his opponents to advise him…people choose their advisors…I am worried about people who cannot use parity of reasoning. When something suits them, they argue in a certain way…that is not the way to build credibility.
“What was Parliament before Bagbin came? If you are talking about turning something into another state, you should be interested in knowing the original state of that institution. Before Bagbin came, what was Parliament? Was it an NPP enclave?

“I didn’t expect Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu who was all over the place when we were accusing the President of nepotism in his appointments and so on, Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu was all over the place saying that, did we expect the President to appoint his enemies as Ministers, so what has changed?”
