Stand your ground! Don't be intimidated! You're ok speaking the way you did. You got your message across fine.
YOU ARE AS STUPID AS THE BITCH.
I DONT BELIEVE THAT YOU ARE A REAL DR.
HOW CAN YOU MAKE AN UNEDUCATED WOMAN AN MP.WHAT WILL SHE DISCUSS IN PARLIAMENT WHEN SHE MEETS EDUCATED MPS.
This lady is a very intelligent woman. She can be a very good MP just as she has been able to establish her own business no wonder she won the elections against all other opponents.
Editor Ken Kuranchie has already blurted it out: Ghanaians are not civilised!
This is what it has come to when even a stark illiterate is allowed to form a political party with the aim of becoming President of Ghana! As f ...

Stop the unnecessary propaganda
How much did she pay you?
Whaat?Doc.
Since Independence what at all has the educated given to Ghana. The only thing is big English. After 60 years of independence and with our big English we can not even link the two big cities in Ghana, Accra to Kumasi with a P ...

Thank you, Joe. Neo-colonialism at its best in Africa.
The educated MPs are the thieves. They feel most Ghanaians aren`t educated so they take them for granted.

Starting a discussions show hollow minded you are, Putin can read and write in his own language, which is spoken in his Parliament as well as the entire country, how many Ghanaians can read and write their own language
I can't believe you called someone's wife and mother a bitch. All because she's not highly educated? Come on be a gentleman, respect and discipline yourself.

I am with you. Don't mind them ndc people continue doing your good job all the best young lady. Queen's English is not your tongue. Proud of you
Don't worry you are still an MP. Get a private teacher to help you. Remember Professor Azumah Nelson. In Ghana's parliament the Mps do fookoo just stay in there yea yea and make money.
defending the indefensible
and won't shut up
Cannot be too difficult to say yea yea every now and again . All the big english that is all most do . Leave her alone. She does inspire me
But how old is she? Anybody who attended form during the old system should be older than 35 years.
You have a point there. Maybe she meant JSS 3.
Yes if she is she has to be around 40years,because I am a form 4lever and I am 44 years old I finished in 1988
Useless people do you idiots know her age. She almost 50 nboa.
Even 42 and above because I am a pioneer of the new education system and I completed JSS in 1990 at age 15 now I am 42. If she is not more than 42 years, I wonder which kind of form 4 she's talking about.
It is appalling to see people ridiculing this MP, when we should be encouraging her to do the best for her constituents. What are the contributions of college educated MPs in parliament? Some have never even spoken on any iss ...

God will help you so dont give up.You are my hero.
How can a lady be your hero,if you are an mp you will be a laughing stock in the Parliament
Stop talking about it. Just plan what u will do for your constituents. Talk to Otiko about women and children in the area.
I think she is a market woman because her "engresi"sounds like a market woman not hair dresser " ibi market woman walai mutani"
So u wil suffer for ur greadiness
'Greediness' not 'greadiness'. So called educated and u believe u are better than her.
'Greed' is the word. If you're correcting,search for the right word. There's neither 'greediness' nor 'greadness'
My friend, you should rather do some research before you correct, ok. Greed and greediness are both correct. Don't be in a hurry to correct others, ok? We're all learning.
Can this woman understand the legislative process. Can she meaningfully contribute. I think we should set a minimum educational standard for prospective parliamentarians. She is not fit for the job. That is a fact
Akua Donkor was mocked. Karma is a bitch. Bloody scoundrels. But for tribal voting, this woman can't be unit committee member
Lady i am with you . you do not need to speak perfect English in anyway to an audience who does not understand any English. I will prefer you speak Twi going forward
There is a hausa person in parliament. let this person also speak hausa.
There is a guy from Krobo too and an ayigbe man.
Also there is a guy from Lolobi and the Buem people

Akua Donkor made it known to Ghanaians from day one that she can't speak english, but Ama Sey pretended to flow hence she was caught up in "traffic". Which of the two personalities should be celebrated folks?

There would be a conference in London on Child trafficking in May, and I hope Ama Sey would be among the delegation to the summit.

I believe she her inner strength got her to that top position knowing very well she will be able to bring joy to many people in her constituency. Think of Helen Keller.
She might have common sense than those who've been to so called uni and speak so called big English
but who said if u are educated then it means u are automatically fluent in English.
