Member of Parliament for Abuakwa South, Samuel Atta Akyea says the National Democratic Congress (NDC) MPs who decided to walk out during the debate on whether the four deputy ministerial nominees who were vetted should be approved or not have no case.
Speaking to journalists on Wednesday 23, 2021 Mr. Atta Akyea said the NDC law makers decided not to be available to attend to other stuff and for that reason can’t blame anyone for that decidion.
This comes after the Minority on the appointment committee asked the Speaker of parliament to organize the vetting of the four deputy ministerial nominees because they were absent during the first screening.
Hon. Alhassna Suhuyini explaining to the speaker of Parliament said the NDC MPs were obeying the order of the speaker to join the Green Ghana planting project on Friday, 11th June 2021.
He said these MPs traveled to various constituencies to join the exercise and didn’t know the committee will sit.
But Mr. Atta Akyea says; “That decision was their own election and so we shouldn’t applaud them for it.
“When they returned and the committee had proceeded in vetting the nominees…the Minority could have also taken the decision that ‘let us see that the decision taken by the rest of the members of the committee will pass the test of what they have been vetted for’.”
