The first deputy Speaker of Parliament and MP for Bekwai, Mr. Joseph Osei Owusu said, he is disappointed that Mr. Osei Kyei Mensah Bonsu took the decision to resign.

He asserts that Mr. Kyei-Mensah is a fantastic leader and the caucus should have kept him to the end of the 8th Parliament.

He explained that, Mr Kyei Mensah has been extremely hard working both in his role and leadership as majority leader.

Mr Osei-Owusu added that, though he was disappointed, their caucus will take steps to fill his position with equally qualified person who would be able to hold the fourth peacefully.

He denied the speculation that, the NPP caucus has elected Mr. Alexander Afenyo Markin as the Majority Leader and that the caucus will remain focused in achieving its objectives.

The lawmaker shot down the suggestion that the former Leader, Mr Osei Kyei Mensah-Bonsu was forced to step down.

Mr Joseph Osei Owusu made these comments at a press interaction soon after the adjournment of proceedings on Thursday.
