The Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, has communicated worry over the powerful craving of numerous people to become Individuals from Parliament.
During a visit from the Speaker of Parliament, Alban S.K. Bagbin, at the Manhyia Royal residence in Kumasi on Sunday, June 30, 2024, the Asantehene scrutinized the purposes for the excitement to join Parliament, noticing the drastic actions certain individuals will take, including affronts and actual assaults.
“How can it be that everybody needs to go to Parliament? What is there that individuals will beat others and affront individuals just to go to Parliament, this is the kind of thing that you need to focus on,” Otumfuo Osei Tutu II said.
He featured the ridiculous commitments made by a few parliamentary competitors, underscoring that MPs don’t have spending plans to satisfy such commitments.
“As an MP you don’t even have a budget so why do you promise to fix roads and things that you know you cannot provide?”
Bagbin is on a three-day official visit to the Ashanti Region as part of a nationwide tour marking the 30th-anniversary celebration of the Fourth Republic.
