Sam George, the Member of Parliament for Ningo Prampram, has advised the Majority Leader to refrain from making divisive remarks against Parliament and its Speaker.
Mr. George, speaking on Eyewitness News, chastised the Majority Leader, Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu, for not engaging with Parliament’s leadership on the budget deadlock for 2022.
“This careless attitude and attempt to undermine the Speaker’s authority is damaging to Parliament’s image.”
“Rather than making comments that will agitate and raise the temperature of the House, I would urge the Majority Leader to engage more with the Speaker and the leadership caucus.”
Mr. George further stated that he anticipated Mr. Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu to be working “to lower the temperature in the home rather than feeding the fire, so he must be aware of his commentary.”

The Ningo Prampram MP’s concerns come after the Majority Leader, on Tuesday, intimated that the Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin, may have approved a motion filed by the Minority in Parliament to essentially reverse the approval of the 2022 budget, while he [Bagbin] was away on a medical trip.
At a press conference on Wednesday, Mr. Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu further urged the Minority to give up on its opposition to the budget.”
After a protracted back and forth over the budget, the Minority Leader, Haruna Iddrisu, filed a motion to challenge the First Deputy Speaker’s ruling rejecting his earlier motion seeking to reverse the approval of the 2022 budget, which was done after a boycott of Minority MPs.
The Minority is of the view that the reversal of the rejection of the budget by the First Deputy Speaker was a biased ruling.
