I prefer being an MP to a Speaker of Parliament – Kyei Mensah-Bonsu
Member of Parliament (MP) for Suame, Hon. Osei Kyei Mensah-Bonsu has rejected views calling for him to be made the next Speaker of Parliament in the eighth Parliament under this current Fourth Republican Constitution.
“I cannot be the Speaker of the House, even though I would love that. I would have to lose my seat as a member of the house in order to be the Speaker, but I am not sure my party is willing to go through that, considering the circumstances,” he revealed.
The outgoing Majority Leader in Parliament explained that his party, the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) is not prepared to lose him as a lawmaker.
