Member of Parliament (MP) for Akuapen North, Sammi Awuku has said their side, the Minority will be a very effective, resilient and very formidable side in the 9th Parliament.
According to him it’s very clear that Ghana’s democracy has come of age looking at the level of civility and friendliness that exist among MPs, and despite the fact that the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) might be small, they will achieve a lot in the coming days.
Also the unity among us will be our strength. We are resolved just as our leaders in 1997, when they were just 61 MPs against 133 MPs from the NDC side, we did rise to the occasion, we worked hard and with determination and courage we were able to move beyond our barriers and recaptured our lost grounds, he said in an interview.
He noted that from all the meetings his side has had so far with our leadership in the minority and our resolve, “I am very confident that the NPP will give a very good account of itself, and myself I promise to be an effective member of the minority where we going to hold government accountable to its promises.”
“Again, we will scrutinize government’s policies and budget, so we are going to work effectively.”
As to what his constituents should expect from him as a first time MP, he noted that he will work both effectively on the floor of the House and in the interest of his constituents.
