A political Scientist Dr. John Osei Bobbie has condemned the ‘ballot kicking and snatching drama series’ performed by some of the country parliamentarians on January 6, 2021 midnight, as he expect leadership of the 8th parliament to take a critical look at the actions of individuals involved in such disgraceful acts and take critical decisions. Some Ghanaians were taken by surprise to see the MP for Tema West, Carlos Kingsley Ahenkorah performing such critical drama role of snatching ballot papers from the hands of a Parliamentary official on Thursday morning. However, it was a strategy to disrupt the election process for the new Speaker of Parliament, Mr. Ahenkora, with Usain Bolt speed style, snatched some of the ballot papers on the blindside of the Parliamentary officials as the ballot was counted. However, his action has triggered a whole lot of controversy across the world since after his unbelievable performance. Political expert Dr. John Osei Bobbie who spoke to Apexnewsgh.com on the issue did not hide his impression on the matter. He believes, it is prudent leadership of parliament takes a critical look at the actions of the individuals involved in such disgraceful acts and take critical decisions on them. “Parliament has its own rules that governed the house, why do we have standing orders in parliament? The orders are needed to bring discipline, to bring law and order over there. So, if somebody had shot another person in parliament there, it means the person would have gone scout free. If for example, the incident has brought about troubles and there has been killing and shooting here and there, what would have happened to the nation Ghana? If their behavior has in sighted a military man to organize his friends to take up arms to take over the government, what would have happened? What would have been the result? Could we have blamed those people for bridging the constitution of Ghana? These are things we have to look at and take critical decisions on.” “The idea of thing happened in chambers, is neither here nor there, it is Ghana if I commit the offense and am to be punished, if my parliamentarian does same then he must be punished. So, the standing orders must be brought into play. They took the whole nation at ransom and that wasn’t the best. So, to me is a total disgrace to the nation of Ghana and parliamentarians must come out to apologize to all of us because what they did was simply bad and brought shame to this nation Ghana. Now is all over the world, people are watching, people are laughing at us”.

Navrongo Central PPP Parliamentary candidate cries for traders in the Navrongo market.
PPP Parliamentary candidate in the Navrongo Central of the Upper East Region has expressed some level of disappointment; frustration and pain for the unbearable nature of sanitation witnessed in the Navrongo market during the weekend. Madam Agoriba Kubirizegah visited the two markets and the abattoir on Saturday, October 3, 2020, as part of her campaign activity ahead of the 2020 election. “Sanitation is a key problem in Navrongo, which authorities are not bothered about and if not tackled early, it can worsen the health situation of the people. Our population is nothing as compared to the big cities and if, we are not populated like the big cities such as Kumasi and Accra and we cannot handle sanitation, what will happen in the next 5 to 10 years?” She said According to her, is unfortunate that the big politicians in the Constituency are not seeing sanitation as a challenge, because they are not leaving with the people in the Constituency. “When they don’t live with the people, they wouldn’t be able to know that this is what the people are going through but as for me, I lived with the people and I shopped in those markets every market day. I go the abattoir to buy meats and I saw what is happening. So, is a very big challenge. When am giving the opportunity as an MP serve the people, I will be able to address that challenge.” However, Madam Kubirizegah blamed the Assembly for not considering sanitation as a big challenge.

Bernard Mornah Chairmanship slot defeat is a blessing for Ghana- Dr. John Osei Bobbie
A political Scientist Dr. John Osei Bobbie has described the defeat of Bernard Mornah as National Chairman of the People’s National Convention (PNC) as a blessing to Ghana democracy. Speaking on the A1 radio Daybreak Upper East program on Thursday, October 1, 2020, monitored by Apexnewsgh.com the political Scientist was very emphatic with his response on PNC Congress results outcome with took place yesterday. According, to Dr. Bobbie, the defeated PNC Bernard Mornah has no good intentions for the growth and sustainability of PNC. “Unfortunately, Bernard Mornah was not building PNC, I think he was more or less working for the NDC and not building PNC as a party. He has that charisma and I thought, he would use the charisma to push PNC forward, and unfortunately, he was always doing the biding of NDC, as a third party, you should appreciate where you need to give appreciation and condemned where condemnation is deserved. But in a situation, you decide to follow only one line and even you will not come down to the region to help mobilize the party to move the party forward to enable Ghana politics to have a strong third force, then you are not doing all of us any good. He losing the PNC Chairmanship slot is a step in the right direction, is a blessing for Ghana, and a blessing for the PNC.” Responding to the criticism of some elements of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) which suggest that the governing New Patriotic Party has hands in Bernard Mornah defeat, Dr. Bobbie said such criticisms cannot be entirely factual because the same people wouldn’t have come to say same if Bernard Mornah had won.
