Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu, Majority Leader
Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu says Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, the MP for North Tongu, writing to the Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin, to declare his intention of resigning from the Appointments Committee and not communicating that to the leadership of the NDC Caucus could undermine the leadership of the Minority Caucus in Parliament.
He described his resignation as unfortunate, explaining that if a member of a committee is to deliberate on a matter referred to it and the member finds himself in a conflict of interest situation and he is not able to perform his duties, “he will inform his caucus leadership, who will then replace him for the purpose of doing that business”.
