The Member of Parliament for Dormaa East, Paul Apraku Twum Barimah, has advised NPP Members of Parliament to support President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo to deliver in his second term.
Speaking in an interview, Mr Twum Barimah said the President can only deliver to the satisfaction of the people of Ghana when he is supported by the majority group in Parliament.
He urged his colleague MPs to desist from blaming one another regarding who voted against the President’s nominee for the Speaker of Parliament and unite in preparation for the task ahead.
2024 key
Mr Twum Barimah indicated that winning the 2024 general elections is key and that should be the target, saying that would depend on the performance of the President and the governing party in terms of prudent management of the economy and the livelihood of the people of Ghana.
“The President needs us and we must not let him down. We need to avoid settling personal scores and executing the blame games. The President has begun selecting his appointees and we need to support him in that regard.
“If we don’t rally behind the President, we might lose the trust of the people and that will work against us. Our constituents are monitoring us in Parliament and we don’t have to let them down,” he stated.
