A member of the New Patriotic Party's (NPP) communication team, Ellen Ama Daaku, has voiced her discontent with the behavior of National Democratic Congress (NDC) MPs, comparing their actions to those of kindergarten children.
She criticized the NDC lawmakers for taking over the seats belonging to the NPP Caucus in Parliament, deeming their behavior immature.
Speaking on TV3 NewDay on Thursday, October 24, 2024, Daaku questioned the NDC MPs' conduct, emphasizing that their actions were childish and unbefitting of their roles as elected officials.
"Perhaps they just don't want to do their job. Everything I have said is directed at the Minority side of Parliament. Why did the NPP MPs leave? They left because somebody chose to sit on their chairs. Where you sit matters. That is why we have the Majority and Minority sides. So, if you decide to act like a kindergarten child and move from your seat and go and take your brother's seat and your brother decides that I won't fight you, and as the Majority Leader said, he is not going to sit there and fight over chairs for his children to see him on TV fighting over chairs. The Majority side learnt a lesson from what happened on January 7, 2021, when the whole nation was embarrassed by the actions and they decided they were not going to mind them," she stated.
Ellen Daaku expressed optimism that the Speaker would soon reconvene Parliament to resolve the vacant seat controversy, allowing the MPs to resume their responsibilities.xxxxxxxxxxx
"There are legal processes. The letter the NPP MPs have sent to the Speaker, he has 7 days to consider it or not consider it. He should get it done and get the job done.
"The Speaker could not make a decision because the Supreme Court has stayed the decision. I think the NPP took a good decision to leave the house," she added.
