Dr. Prempeh, popularly known as Napo, criticized the NDC MPs for deliberately taking over seats assigned to the Majority Caucus, with the aim of provoking a confrontation. He emphasized that Parliament is a space for intellectual discourse, not violence.

“The free-for-all fight and bloodshed they [NDC Minority] were expecting in parliament last Tuesday, we didn’t give them. We didn’t give them because we are disciplined and mature. We understand that Parliament is a place for intellectual debate, not a boxing ring. Unlike them, the NPP always prioritizes the peace and stability of this country,” Dr. Prempeh stated.

Addressing the NDC Minority's actions, he urged them to focus on their legislative responsibilities and refrain from boasting about engaging in confrontations in Parliament, which he described as unbecoming of MPs.

Napo made these remarks during a Stakeholders Engagement on Thursday, October 24, 2024, at the Pantang Nursing and Midwifery Training College. He took the opportunity to highlight the achievements of the NPP government in the health sector, including the Agenda 111 policy and the restoration of the nursing trainee allowance, which was scrapped under the NDC. He encouraged students to maintain their trust in the NPP and Dr. Bawumia for continued progress.
