There is leadership failure in the NDC following the protest from their MPs to accept a pay cut as proposed by government, a Governance expert has observed.
Dr. Isaac Kofi Adu Yamoah stated on Wontumi TV that the stance adopted by the minority NDC MPs shows how unpatriotic they are and the weak leadership in their camp.
The Minority in Parliament has rejected suggestions by the Minister of Information, Kojo Oppong-Nkrumah that lawmakers should consider taking voluntary salary cuts to help the government fund its flagship programmes due to the economic crisis in the country.
This comes after President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo reduced the salaries of all his appointees by up to 30 percent.
The NDC MPs reacting to the pay cuts suggested by Kojo Oppong-Nkrumah said they will not accept the government’s offer.
The Member of Parliament for Akatsi North, Peter Nortsu-Kotoe told TV3 that “If the executive is talking about this then they should also look at the emoluments. What facilities do they have? As an executive, they have more facilities than the legislators”.
But Dr. Isaac Kofi Adu Yamoah stated that “there is leadership failure on their (NDC) part…President Akufo-Addo is showing example and they must join him and not rather act differently”.
