Audio Attachment:NPP MP�s Are Errant School Boys - Hon Ahi |
The Deputy Majority Chief Whip of Parliament, Hon. Sampson Ahi, apologized to his colleagues on the minority side for describing them as �robots� being manipulated by Lawyer Kwadwo Afriyie, and rather opted to label them as �errant school boys� being led by their General Secretary.
He wondered why the minority legislators wouldn�t eat the humble pie and accept they are �robots� controlled by their General Secretary.
He retracted the �robot� description on Okay FM�s "Ade Akye Abia" programme, but maintained that the relationship that exists between the NPP legislators and their General Secretary is like one between a teacher and his school kids.
The Member of Parliament for Bodi, also criticized the NPP for having the effrontery to label the NDC as �stealers� but find fault with the �robot� description attributed to them.
He further inquired to know from the NPP why they displayed the �stealers� cards.
According to him, to label someone as a �thief� was more painful than saying one behaves like a �robot�.
�Don�t they know that no one in his own capacity can pronounce judgment on a murderer if the courts haven�t found him guilty? You say you have problems with the elections and have taken a step further by presenting your case to the Supreme Courts, but that doesn�t suggest that the NDC is made up of thieves,� he noted.
According to him, the leaders of the NDC and the party as a whole also had an integrity to protect.
�What have we stolen from them for us to be called �stealers�?� he asked.
He prompted the NPP not to behave like they were more human than others who didn�t believe in their doctrines.
�To be honest, my conscience tells me that they behaved like robots. But when Sir John spoke, it became clear it was like a relationship that exists between a teacher and school boys. They had wanted to sit down and listen to the president whilst he delivered his speech but had to leave when Sir John spoke. When a teacher speaks, a school child has to listen,� he added.
