Hon Dr. Kingsely Nyarko
March 23, 2022

Member of Parliament for Kwadaso, Dr. Kingsely Nyarko said the low turnout of the Majority Members of Parliament on the floor of the House the whole of last week was not deliberate but rather because of internal elections within the ruling NPP.

According to him it has to do with an internal election to elect polling station executives, as MPs wanted to be in their constituencies to observe the process.

In an interview, he pointed out that on Tuesday, March 22, 2022 they came in their numbers to help push government agenda forward and hoped his side would continue to come to Parliament in their numbers.

And again, he noted that his colleagues from the Minority side should cooperate with them to do legitimate government business but they can raise a legitimate concern since that is the beauty of democracy, “Tuesday’s quorum issue was needless”.

When the Speaker asked the table office to get the numbers and the numbers that were given to him exceeded the correct number, “after we suspended and came back the available leader on the Minority side indicated that yes the numbers were around to do business”, he emphasised.
