A former Communications Director for the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Yaw Adomako Baafi, has jabbed the minority MPs in Parliament describing them as zombies who even seek clearance from Fifi Kwetey even if they want to pass urine.
His deposition was based on the letter issued by the General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) to the minority MPs not to approve any of the new ministerial nominees appointed by the president.
Addressing the issue on the Wontumi Morning Show which was monitored by Wontumionline.com, Mr. Adomako Baafi stated that the directive from Fifi Kwetey was a direct insult to the minority caucus in parliament and portrays them as individuals who can’t reason on their own.
He continued that the motive behind the directive also shows that the National Executives of the NDC expect their minority members to consult them before answering to any of nature’s call.
NDC’S Statement On Vetting And Approval Of New Ministerial Nominees
The NDC has long expressed concern over the very large size of the current government and shares the views of most Ghanaians, including Civil Society, that it must be reduced bearing in mind the current massive economic mess, the country has been plunged into by the Akufo-Addo/ Bawumia government.
Despite numerous appeals, President Akufo Addo has quite characteristically, remained adamant and tone deaf.
The leadership of the NDC, has, against this backdrop, directed the Minority caucus in Parliament NOT to approve any of the new ministerial nominees and to further push for a reduction in the size of government with a view to reducing the needless drain on scarce public resources.
In this moment of haircuts, the most important thing the government can do is to do a “governmental haircut”. Our directive to the minority in parliament, we believe strongly aligns with the genuine sentiments of most Ghanaians.
Enough is enough.
Signed. Hon. Fifi Fiavi Kwetey General Secretary
