The District Chief Executive (DCE) for Builsa Kwaeme Daniel Gariba has refuted what he described as a ‘pure lie’ claim chanting by Dr. Clement Abasinaab Apaak Member of Parliament for Builsa South. Apexnewsgh.com
According to Clement Abasinaab Apaak, his constituents have instructed him to vote against the 2022 Budget Statement and Economic Policy proposal or risk not coming back home. A warning he said he received with much seriousness
“My constituents have told me that should I make the mistake of voting in favor of this 2022 budget I should remain in Accra.
“I will not remain in Accra, they sent me here to work on their behalf. Their instructions are very clear and so the position is clear. We represent our people and we are going to do what they want,” Clement Apaak said on the floor of parliament on Thursday during a debate of the 2022 budget.
Meanwhile, the Builsa South District Chief Executive Daniel Gariba has called on Ghanaians to disregard the claims made by the MP. He described Dr. Apaak’s comments as a ‘pure lie’
“He is not even in the constituency and I am there with the people. You cannot read a budget and want to get everybody to agree with every sentence, every phrase. You would definitely have dissenting opinions. But largely, what the majority says is what to look at”.
“The last time my MP was in the constituency is more than 2weeks, he was there before the budget was read, so I don’t know when he came back to receive views of the people. He has not organized one single meeting where he has had an engagement with the people in the constituency. So, I don’t know where he is getting that information from”.
“So, as far as am concerned, is not true, he has not had any meeting anywhere where constituents have told him not to come back home if he approves the budget. It is his personal view he is expressing and which is not too different from the position taken by his NDC. I am a constituent of his and am not sure I have told him not to come home if he approves the budget, I also have people around me who are his constituents who have not say so”. Mr. Gariba said
