Minority Blasts Majority For Leaving Parliament To Campaign For Bawumia

Ebenezer Oklitey Teye Larbi, the member of parliament for Lower Manya Krobo, has voiced his concerns about what he believes to be the Majority Caucus of Parliament members’ lack of dedication to the House’s business.

The MP laments that the majority of the Majority Caucus members in Parliament have given up on their work to support Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, the flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), in his campaign activities.

On Wednesday, June 19, Oklitey Teye Larbi declared on the floor of Parliament that the Majority side’s stance discourages the Minority Caucus.

He stated:

“It is not good for our image. As if we are joking here. And if the government doesn’t have any business for us to do, then we should adjourn sine die so that we go home and continue because, as I speak to you, most of our colleagues are following the vice president left, right, and centre. We also have to go and campaign. We cannot be here doing government business while they go out there and campaign.

“We also want to follow our flagbearer. It is a fact and it is true that our colleagues are following the vice president and that is the reason why some of them are not here. My point is that if it is about the campaign, then let’s just adjourn sine die so that we all go because they are not showing commitment towards business in this House.”
