The Member of Parliament for Tamale Central, Murtala Mohammed has stated that the General Secretary for the NDC, Fifi Kwetey cannot unilaterally take decisions for the party.
His comment comes on the back of the General Secretary’s insistence that the party will not reverse the NDC Minority reshuffle announced.
However, the Tamale Central MP has challenged the Chairman and the General Secretary to produce minutes of the National Executive Meeting that sanctioned the reshuffle in the Minority in Parliament.
“He (Fiifi Kwetey) doesn’t own the party. He can make those statements but let’s see how events unfold. He is not an authority. I supported him and he knows that. I chaired his campaign in Parliament and he knows that. I supported him and I have no regret supporting him. He is not an authority to himself.
“Hon. Haruna Iddrisu is 20 years in Parliament. By the way Hon. Avedzi has a finance background and Tech background. So that argument of finance is bogus. And again, the argument of Hon. Avedzi not coming back to Parliament is bogus, one of the people they appointed is also not coming. He also said he is not coming again,” Mr. Murtala told Starr News‘ Naa Dedei Tettey on Wednesday, January 25, 2023.
Meanwhile, the newly appointed Minority leader in Parliament, Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson has expressed appreciation to the leadership of the NDC for appointing him to lead the minority caucus in parliament.
In a Facebook post, the Ajumako-Enyan-Essiam MP said he’s humbled by his elevation in the House.
“I am honoured and humbled to have been chosen to lead our illustrious and gallant caucus in Parliament. I thank the leadership of our party who have placed their trust and confidence in me. I am also deeply grateful to colleagues, the rank and file of our party and the Ghanaian people for their profound support and solidarity”. Starrfm.com.gh
