The Asafohene of Adweso in the Akuapem Traditional Council of the Eastern Region, Nana Okofo Kwame Oppong Ntim I, has described as uncalled-for, the chaos that erupted at the Appointment Committee that led to the damage of some state properties during the vetting of Ministerial nominees.
According to him, he concurs with the Speaker of Parliament, Right Hon. Alban Sumana Bagbin’s directive that Members of Parliament who caused the chaos will bear the full cost of the destroyed items to serve as a deterrent to others.
He said their behavior had humiliated the country because the program was live on several National Television channels where many people were watching both at home and abroad.
Nana Okofo Ntim added that, as MPs they must live an exemplary life because many people look up to them in various communities.
“Again, the Speaker was right to punish the 4 MPs who were caught in the act. The lifting of suspension being placed on them will also serve as a great lesson for them to exhibit good behavior going forward,” he opined.
Meanwhile, the Minority Leader, Alexander Markin in his plea to the Speaker of Parliament and backed by the Majority Caucus saw him lifts the suspension on the affected MPs.
The suspended MPs were ; Rockson-Nelson Defeamekpor, Majority Chief Whip; Frank Annor Dompreh, Minority Chief Whip; Jerry Ahmed Shaib, Second Minority Chief Whip; and Alhassan Sulemana Tampuli, MP for Gushegu Constituency.
