Member of Parliament (MP) for Builsa South Constituency in the Upper East Region, says the laws of the country and for that matter; the legislations ought to punish those who misbehaved during the election of the speaker of Ghana’s 8th Parliament.

According to him the actions by some MPs of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in Parliament were in clear disobedience to the law; hence should not go unpunished.

Justifying why they should be punished, the lawmaker on the ticket of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) told A1 Radio the actions of the MPs do not only speak ill about the country’s long-standing democracy but have painted an international picture that some legislators are bold enough to steal ballot papers on live cameras.

He said “The refusal of our NPP colleagues to vote secretly as required by law and as directed. The invitation of the Military to invade parliament – at a time there was no government (Executive or Legislature) – to intimidate us because of our insistence that voting must be secret. And eventually, the snatching of counted ballot paper by Hon. Carlos Ahenkorah. What is more damaging than this?”

“It took virtually all members of NDC to protect and defend the Constitution of Ghana. We the NDC Majority were resolute, determined, and prepared to pay the ultimate price in defense of our democracy and to truly represent the undiluted interest of the good people of Ghana.”

“Ghanaians died voting for us, Ghanaians died protecting our ballots, Ghanaians have been maimed and brutalized because of us, and the least we could do was to go all out in defending what they sacrificed for.”

He however said “What our side did, we did not for ourselves but God and Country. We certainly could not have allowed a second attempt to subvert the will of the people.”
