Togbe Borbordzi Xevi VII, the Mankrado of Battor has said some members of parliament behave like they have drunk something.
According to Togbe Borbordzi Xevi VII, the opportunity given to the MPs to vet nominees should be seen as a chance to prove to Ghanaians what they are capable of doing.
Togbe Borbordzi Xevi, speaking on the recent vetting chaos in parliament stated, “Some of these MPs, though not all, behave like they’ve… I’m very sorry to use this term, but they behave like they’ve drunk something.”
“The opportunity given to them to vet nominees should be seen as a chance to prove to Ghanaians what they are capable of doing on behalf of the public”, he stated.
The Mankrado of Battor added, “For me, I am deeply disappointed in some of our parliamentarians. They have let down Ghanaians and the world. The position of MP is a high office, but some of them behave like children when they go to Parliament. A whole MP, who is a university graduate, goes to Parliament and engages in fights, breaking chairs and tables. What kind of behaviour is that?”
“Are they aware that they are on camera, and the whole world is watching? If they are, then they have sabotaged Ghana. Because of Ghana’s democracy, many other countries admire us, but some of our MPs are disgracing the nation”, he added.
The minority leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin has accepted full responsibility for the scuffle which took place on Thursday, January 30, 2025, during the vetting of ministerial nominees.
Meanwhile, the Speaker of Parliament has set up an investigative committee to probe into the vetting chaos led by Emmanuel Kwasi Bedzrah member of Parliament for Ho West.
