The Minority Leader, Hon. Osei Kyei-Mensah Bonsu has cautioned MP against the use of inferior tactics such as shouting and noise making in Parliament whiles an MP is making a statement or contributing to statements on the Floor of Parliament.
The Minority Leader, also MP for Suam who was saddened by this issue urged his colleague MPs to refrain from using such tactics.
“Filibustering is a known and accepted strategy in every Parliament. Heckling is also a known strategy but shouting across the aisle and using indecent language while gesticulations and so on are not tools known and accepted in any parliament,” the Minority Leader fumed.
Hon. Osei-Kyei Mensah Bonsu who made the call in Parliament today described such situation as irritating and offensive.
“We have begun a new year, let us talk to ourselves. I will urge that we begin on a new clean slate and give ourselves a new beginning,” he added.
