Why would one advise Honourable Members of Parliament to keep screwdrivers of all different shapes in their hand baggage in the august House? Well, the reason is not to use it as a weapon against either the majority or the minority side of the House but rather to screw on properly, newly imported leather Chinese chairs when faulty. According to Kwame Nkrumah Tikese, host of OKAY FM�s political morning show, the MP�s must now serve as carpenters to save them from falling from their luxurious but inferior chairs. Tikese [Big head] as commonly called made this assertion when some members on the Minority, yesterday ridiculed the �imported chairs� after the �arm rest� of the chair for the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Member of Parliament for (MP) Manhyia South, Dr Matthew Opoku Prempeh, got completely broken. The �arm support� part was left lying on the seat while the MP for Manhyia South complained to the authorities for his chair to be replaced. Before that, pictures went viral of some wheels of the chairs destroyed a day after the MP�s were recalled from recess. However, leadership of the House deflated accusations of importation of inferior chairs saying they were not properly fixed due to a deadline given to the contractors to make ready the House for sittings. But the award winning morning show host advised that �For their own safety, they [MP�s] should always keep screwdrivers in their bags to fix loosing bolts. They shouldn�t wait at all�.
