You have no authority to order any Minister or deputy – Kyei Mensah hits back at Bagbin

Majority Leader Osei Kyei Mensah Bonsu has reiterated that the Speaker of Parliament Alban Sumana Kingsford Bagbin has no authority to issue orders to either Ministers or their Deputies

He argues that the Bagbin is not a Member of the House though presides over lawmakers and therefore must endeavor to hide his bias.

Speaking in the aftermath of the controversy surrounding the rejection of the 2022 budget, he vowed to lead his side to resist attempts by the speaker to bulldoze his way in the chamber.

“You are not the speaker of one side of this house and yet increasingly, he is beginning to demonstrate that tendency. His attitude… we are all shocked and it is not the best. It does not speak well of a speaker who is neutral. I think this is appalling and from now we are going to signal the speaker that we are not going to tolerate it. The Speaker himself is not a member of this house. As I told him the other time, he has no authority to issue a personal order to any Minister. These illegalities from now on will not be condoned”, he threatened in an interview monitored by MyNewsGh.com.

The outburst of the Minister of Parliamentary Affairs follows the decision by the Speaker last Friday not to allow Finance Minister Ken Ofori Atta in the Chamber during voting.

Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu last Friday night moved the application on behalf of Ken Ofori-Atta to afford him the chance to address concerns of the minority on imposition of taxes such as the E-Levy in order to secure consensus.

But the Speaker rejected the application from Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta to be afforded the opportunity to engage the leadership of both majority and minority members of the House ahead of the conclusion of debate on the 2022 budget and economic policy of the government.

Most Ghanaians have been initiated into occultism by their Pastors – Papa Shee

Evangelist Papa Shee says most Ghanaians have been initiated into occultism by Pastors. According to him, most Pastors in Ghana currently are occults and with the way they are been celebrated by their followers, they initiate them into occult groups without their knowledge. He mentioned that Ghanaians lack knowledge and that has always been the reason why Pastors take advantage of them. Related Posts Quoting a Scripture from Matthew, Papa Shee mentioned that no one should refer to a man as his/her spiritual father because the word speaks against it. He indicated that he has come back to Ghana to open the eyes of ignorant Ghanaians so that they see the light.

Residents of Samreboi cry on gov’t to fix their roads

Residents of Samreboi are up in arms with the Government of Ghana over neglect of their roads. According to residents, It has become very worrying as their bad road network is affecting not only economic activities but also their social activities. Residents of the timber and Cocoa producing town in the Western Region of Ghana say they have been unfairly treated by several governments; the neglect they say they do not know what to attribute it to. A worrying feature of their roads they say is the fact that moving from Samreboi to neighbouring villages and towns become impossible especially during the rainy season hence bringing economic activities to a standstill. Residents say even though the year has been declared “Year of Roads” they are yet to see a kilometre of road being constructed. To the Youth especially, leaders in their part of the country have failed them after years of exploiting them for their own interest. They say they will advise themselves if nothing is done ab...

Chile, the last few weeks have been filled with the ongoing relationship drama involving “Love & Hip Hop Hollywood” stars Ray J and his wife Princess Love. Everyday there seems to be a new development—but this latest one could mean that all the messiness is over. #Roommates, by now you already know that during the recent Soul Train Awards where Ray J was a co-host on the red carpet, his wife Princess Love accused him of leaving her and their daughter Melody stranded with no way home. That accusation was followed with Princess being blocked on Instagram, her airing out his alleged hangouts with strippers and stating that she was going to file papers to officially go through with a divorce. Earlier this week, things seemed to have settled a little when Ray J was finally reunited with his daughter after not seeing her for a bit. He posted a video of little Melody asleep on his chest and referred to her as his “heart.” Well, the latest social media activity by Ray J appears to me...
