The Majority in Parliament has appealed to its counterpart on the Minority side to disregard the directive by the National Democratic Congress(NDC) for rejection of the nominees of President Nana Akufo-Addo.
National Executives of the opposition NDC in a statement signed by General Secretary, Fifi Kwetey directed the party’s MPs to reject the recently announced nominees in protest of President Akufo-Addo’s refusal to downsize his government.
Addressing the media in Parliament, Majority Chief Whip, Frank Annoh-Dompreh argued respecting the directive of the party will set a bad precedent.
According to the Nsawam-Adoagyiri MP, the President has heard the demands for a reduction in the size of the government and might act on it.
The Minority, however, insists the party’s directive for rejection of the nominees will be adhered to.
Addressing the media in reaction to claims by Deputy Majority Leader, Alexander Afenyo-Markin, that the NDC directive was unconstitutional.
He said it was akin to control of the Minority.
But Deputy Minority leader Emmanuel Kofi Armah Buah stated his side agrees with the position of the party.
According to him, the directive will be respected by every NDC MP.
