Approval of new ministers: Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu expresses disappointment in minority leadership

The Parliamentary Majority Leader, Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu, has condemned the leadership of the minority caucus in Parliament over its posture on the approval of six new ministerial appointees. He said,  the House was scheduled to vote on the approval of the six ministerial nominees of President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, but the leaders of the minority caucus said they were going to speak to their members to see whether the approval could be done by consensus. Speaking in an interview with Neat FM on Friday, March 24, 2023, which was monitored by ApexnewsGh, the majority leader stated that the vote was delayed for hours only for the minority leaders to come and say that they were sticking to the party position. “In the beginning, they (the minority leaders) said that we should vote on the approval of the ministers, then later they said the approval should be done by consensus. Yesterday, they came back to tell us that we should vote for the approval of the ministers. “The position of their party is that they should not approve the ministers, but they said we should give them time for them to consult the party, only for them to return to tell us that they are taking their party’s position. “I was disappointed because they gave us the indication that they were going to change their minds. If they knew they were not going to change their stance, then we should have voted on the approval early,” he said in Twi.

Minority and majority leadership disregard claims about lack of legal brain on the minority front bench

Minority and majority leader in parliament has condemned claims that inadequate legal brain on the front bench of the minority will affect the performance minority leadership performance. Engaging the parliamentary press corps, minority leader Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson and his opponent from the majority Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu said the claims are false because the best leaders the house can be proud of were all without a legal background. “The fact that the minority leader is not a Lawyer, I think it doesn’t have to be part of the equation at all. It’s the competence of the person, the versatility of the person. As I keep saying, if you are a leader you must know something about everything because when people have spoken you must be doing the encapsulation, and if you don’t know you’ll be found wanting. So that’s all that is required. And if you’re talking about leaders that this fourth Republic has seen certainly you cannot ride off J.H Mensah, I mean he stands very tall, an economist, a Finance person and he distinguished himself. Owusu Acheampong, was not a lawyer, Agriculturist, he was a master of the rules of procedure. Kwabena Adjei came in his own strength. We had three lawyers in succession, Alban, Avoka, and Kumbuor, their strengths are captured in the hansard. Kyei Mensah-Bonsu, not a Lawyer, not an economist, not a Finance man, I believe in all humility that I can stand on my ground in every subject matter. That is what is required of a leader. And I believe Hon. Ato can rise to the occasion,” He said Apexnewsgh.com/Ghana/Ngamegbulam Chidozie Stephen  Please contact Apexnewsgh.com on email apexnewsgh@gmail.com for your credible news publications.
