The Minority has expressed dissatisfaction over the actions of the Majority in Parliament blocking the Member of Parliament for Akwatia, Ernest Yaw Kumi from making a statement in Parliament.
The Majority caucus insists that the convict against for whom a bench warrant has been issued cannot be allowed to deliver a statement.
[embedded content]Addressing the media on Friday, February 21, the leader of the caucus said he was not pleased with the actions of the Majority.
“The practice is that when you make your argument, you sit quietly and allow your colleague opposite to also make his argument, but what did we see? The Majority Chief Whip interrupted me, and when they realize again that their argument before the house. Those arguments were being defeated, the Majority himself now got up and shouted Mr Speaker, adjourn,” he noted
He further mentioned that he had not been informed about any court ruling against Mr Kumi.
“I am the leader of our side, I haven’t been invited to a meeting where I have been told that the process has been served. So I don’t know what the NDC is up to,” he added.
The leader also signaled a threat to the minority in relation to the government’s first State of the Nation address on Thursday, February 27, 2025.
“As for the NDC, if they think that hey are using Ernest Kumi to do politics, today is Friday. We are reminding them that next week Thursday the President will be coming to the chamber, we have reminding them, they’ve forgotten that they are in government,” he cautioned
A Koforidua High Court has issued a bench warrant for the arrest of Ernest Yaw Kumi, the presumed winner of the Akwatia parliamentary seat in the Eastern region, after convicting him of contempt of court.
