The biases of the Speaker have been exposed following his recent comments according to the managing Editor of the Insight newspaper, Kwesi Pratt Jnr.
The Minority in Parliament has accused the Speaker Prof Mike Ocquaye of being bias. Minority Leader, Haruna Iddrisu said on Thursday, July 27 that "you know the essence of parliamentary questions is significant and integral to the exercise of oversight. Your refusal to allow me even as Minority Leader to proceed can only be an effort to cripple us".
Some Members of the Minority walked out of the chamber following what they described as a bias posture of the Speaker towards the Majority.
Delivering a lecture in commemoration of August 4, 1947, Friday, the Speaker blamed the National Democratic Congress (NDC) for various problems in the Convention People’s Party (CPP).
According to him, if CPP is determined to survive, their focus shouldn’t be on the New Patriotic Party (NPP) because they (the NPP) are not out to destroy them but rather should concentrate on the NDC because they created confusion within the CPP party which made it broken and fragmented into six political parties.
“The CPP has been penetrated by the newly created NDC.....and that they have created confusion within the party which was then broken and fragmented into six political parties. And I wrote if the CPP wants to survive, they should not look our way because we are not out to destroy them. They must proceed to extricate themselves from the bowels of the NDC, then they will survive because as at now they are swallowed and as a truism, they know or should know who swallowed them”
Contributing to a panel discussion on Radio Gold’s Alhaji and Alhaji, Saturday, Kwesi Pratt said: “I feel sad that the speaker of parliament has gone this far at a time that he is speaker. I feel so worried and sad. The biases of the speaker are now so open because he is flaunting them…Mike Ocquaye and others are so one-sided it’s unbelievable…”

Was there a party called the UGCC founded on 4th August 1947? Was this party working towards the independence of Ghana? Was the party founded before Kwame Nkrumah was asked to join them from Manchester? If all the above are true where is the lie or the exposure of the Speaker? Kwesi Pratt has 2 tongues a Radio Gold and Peace FM online tongues.
The old get shaken when dry bones are mentioned. KWESI PRATT is one instrument the NDC uses to destabilize the CPP. It is a truism. Fof former president Mahama to nominate KWESI as the NDC representative on the media commission showed his nature and revealed a lot to Ghanaians,. the problem is that the CPP did not read into it. He is the biggest traitor and mole the CPP has ever had. When I read Prof's lecture I knew KWESI would hit back because it described his action than any other CPP member, dead or alive. KWESI, stop disgracing Fantes!!!

@Edd; I fear for the kind of historic knowledge you have. If someone thought you that the UGCC was an elitist club that perhaps had fun during the colonial era, then what did Nkrumah came to do with the that elitist club? I need not to school you again. Read Kwame Abotsi's response to your comment. If you belong to the NDC then I know you are making propaganda, but if you belong to the CPP, then don't follow the tutorials of Kwesi Pratt , because people like him are the reason why the CPP is not been able to attract genuine supporters.
Using Kwesi Pratt as an example, explain the proverb that anybody who votes and supports NDC is a foooooooooooooool. Discuss this obvious truth with copious examples.
kwesi Pratt, you are nobody. We all like what Oqcuaye is doing. We voted for change under NPP. ANd we like it like this. If you think you are wild, go and stand for elections and see if you can defeat a maddd dogg from the streeets. I am sorry to say that you, Pratt, are a fooooooool and an eddiott. I hope you get some sense in your head sooner than later.
The UGCC was formed in 1947 and that is true; but until 1947 Dr. Ako Adjei was the first secretary to what ?. Dr. Ako Adjei had resigned two year after being the secretary and then Nkrumah was invited. Nkrumah joined and became the General secretary in late 1947 , the same year August 1947 the UGCC was formed. Therefore i ask, @Kwame Abosti, could there be a political party without a General Secretary ?
Do you know what? CPP as a Party was formed mainly around the membership of action troopers and valandar boys, hence it couldn't have passed the test of time in the first place.It is therefore, not too strange to find it in its present fragmented and weak situation. As a Party it lacks the tradition that binds the members together-everything revolved around the Leadership and the Person of Osagyefo Dr Kwame Nkrumah and Osagyefo is no more there, CPP falls apart and the Center cannot hold.
You have said it all. I have always said it that so long as the NDC remains strong, the CPP shall never rise. CPP now has a choice to either fully embrace the NDC as it's modern representation (which it is not and can never really be per the status quo) or it must recall/gather all its from near and afar and reorganize itself. It must learn from the mistakes of the Great Osagyefo who is recognized by all including the NPP. In fact if the CPP has a friend, it would/should be more the NPP than any other
