Member of Parliament for Bawku Central, Mahama Ayariga called on the general public to be vigilant and interested in the activities of the 8th legislature.
Speaking to Eugene Bawelle on Class91.3FM’s weekend news show, “The Watchdog,” on Saturday January 23, 2021, Mr. Ayariga explained that while the 8th Legislature “presents a unique opportunity to working together ”, the members of the Chamber are likely to agree or disagree unanimously on issues related to equal representation.
“I think this Parliament presents a unique opportunity to work together. There are two things. You talk about consensus. There is a consensus to do the right thing. There is also the possibility of a consensus to do the wrong thing. So I don’t think the public should just stand aside and say ‘because the numbers are equal the right thing will be done in Parliament,’ he said.
He cited the incident during the selection of a new Speaker of Parliament to the House on December 7, 2021 when some MPs from the New Patriotic Party (NPP) side in Parliament allegedly voted for the candidate for the presidency of the National Congress Democratic (NDC). ) side.
According to Mr Ayariga, it is therefore important that the general public be vigilant and very interested in the issues raised in this House.
“I think the public must remain eternally vigilant and watch parliament to make sure that the opportunities offered by the numbers are really realized …”
