NDC primaries should not be turned into tsunami, says Minority Leader

Accra, May 17, GNA - Mr Osei Kyei Mensah-Bonsu, the Minority Leader, said on Tuesday that there were signs of rumbles among the NDC members of Parliament towards the upcoming primary and cautioned that those rumbles should not degenerate into tsunamis.

Mr Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu, who said this when Parliament resumed sitting after the Easter break, also reminded members of the NPP parliamentarians who lost in the primary that it should not deter them from contributing their quota in Parliament.


Mr Cletus Avoka, the Majority Leader, told the NPP members who could not make it that it was not the end of their political career but with dedication they could win future elections.


He commended members for reporting in their numbers on the first day saying 93the numbers are encouraging."


Mrs Justice Joyce Bamford Addo, the Speaker, said many people were oblivious of the sacrifices of the members of Parliament and urged members to continue with their duties.

She said some others were watching and in a matter of time the good deeds would be made known to those who were previously oblivious of their sacrifices.


Ten papers were laid and these include a loan agreement between the government of Ghana and Agence Francaise de Development for 40.00 million Euro to support the Ghana Urban Management Pilot Project.


Mixed credit facility agreement between the government of Ghana and the KBC Bank of Brussels for Euro 21,887,520.31 and a request for tax and duty exemptions amounting to GHc 226,016.00 on goods and services to be procured with respect to the Loan Agreement between Ghana and the African Development Fund for the Gender Responsive Skills and Community Development Fund..
