Member of Parliament for the Ningo-Prampram constituency in the Greater Accra Region has criticised the leadership style of the Majority Leader of Parliament, Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu.
Mr. Sam Nartey George argued that the actions of the Majority Leader have been problematic since the advent of the eighth Parliament headed by Speaker S.K Bagbin.
He noted that Mr. Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu’s reign has been fraught with a series of acts of irresponsibility on the floor.
The National Democratic Congress’ MP made this comment about the Majority Leader in reaction to the leader’s press engagement last Friday where he described the Minority members who are seeking an injunction from the Supreme Court on the implementation of the Electronic Levy popularly known as E-levy as “much I do about nothing”.
According to Mr. Sam George, the Majority Leader’s leadership is not worthy of emulation.
He stressed that the Majority Leader who is also the governing New Patriotic Party Member of Parliament for Suame Constituency in the Ashanti Region has been irresponsible on all fronts including management of the business of Parliament.
Among other things, he stressed that the Majority Leader’s act of cutting an E-Levy cake on his birthday was the highest act of irresponsibility.
“Which leader will show such levels of disrespect to his own colleagues when an issue is pending before the house and needed consensus building.
“It was amazing how the MP turned around to accuse the Minority of presenting the E-levy-shaped cake to him on his birthday when the public registered their anger about his acts of irresponsibility.
“Which responsible leader will behave this way,” he queried.
The NDC MP made these comments about the leadership style of the Majority Leader in an interview on Accra-based Neat FM today, Monday, 25 April 2022
