Former Member of Parliament (MP) for the Bantama constituency, Dr. Henry Kwabena Kokofu, has chastised Member of Parliament for Madina, Francis-Xavier Sosu, over his recent controversial remarks during the #OccupyBoG protest on October 3.

A frustrated Francis-Xavier Sosu, who addressed the media in the Ga language on Tuesday, abandoned decorum and used strong language during the #OccupyBoG demonstration to call for the resignation of Bank of Ghana Governor Dr. Ernest Addison.

The Member of Parliament representing Madina used offensive language that quickly spread on social media, prompting a majority of Ghanaians to criticize his conduct.

Few hours later, Francis-Xavier Sosu issued a sincere and unreserved apology.

He acknowledged that his actions were uncharacteristic and were a result of being pushed to extreme frustration and provocation.

He said, "I unreservedly apologize for my actions and words. I have reflected and realized that though I spoke those words out of anger and extreme provocation, I was completely out of character."

"Consistent with my avowed values, I am sincerely Sorry."

Reacting to this in an interview on Peace FM's Kokrokoo show, Dr. Henry Kwabena Kokofu did not welcome the apology.

He noted that for an individual with such authority, it is unpardonable to utter such an utterance, irrespective of one's mood or sentiment.

"A whole Member of Parliament who was elected—what sort of anger is it that you couldn't control? You said you were going to have the BoG governor removed. You protested but did not go to meet him. You met the security head you claim was a watchman and kept your petition. You said you'd return, and we said okay. So why the insult? The words you said cannot be said anywhere. Why?" he quizzed.

According to Dr. Henry Kwabena Kokofu, such individuals cannot urge Ghanaians to vote for them to return to power.

"Are these the kind of people who want us to vote for them come 2024? Ghanaians are watching," he said.
