Vice President accuses MPs of helping foreigners to violate security

Mr. Osei-Owusu, who presided over the proceedings of the House that day, said on several occasions that the rules had been broken and that members had played a role.

"Everyone who comes in has been helped by one person or another. If we break the rules, if we argue with security guards who are preventing visitors, we have not approved [then] how can security agents help us?

Collins Owusu-Amankwaah, MP for the electoral district of Manhyia North, believes that, despite the importance of scrupulously adhering to the security provisions of the House, it is necessary to take into account the difficult situations in which members sometimes find themselves. .

"How do you limit the very people who elected you? Just call on them for there to be rules of engagement, "said Gifty Andoh Appiah the vice chairman of the parliamentary committee for defense and the interior, quoted in Top Story on Joy FM.

Although Mr. Owusu-Amankwaah acknowledges that the safety of MPs can not be compromised, he wants the House to sometimes give a "human face" when implementing the rules.
