NPP’s Chief Scribe, John Boadu says nothing interests him to contest as a Member of Parliament; at least for now.
The experienced politician told NEAT FM’s morning show, "Ghana Montie" that to be a Parliamentarian is not his topmost priority currently – and will never attempt it.
“I have never expressed interest to be an MP,” he noted – but was quick to add, “I don’t know, maybe in future.”
His
comment follows his colleague’s General Secretary of the NDC, John
Aseidu Nketia assertions that he (John Boadu) should not comment on
issues in parliament because he has never been a parliamentarian before.
The
NPP General Secretary had earlier chastised the Speaker of Parliament,
Alban Bagbin, for suggesting that he (Alban Bagbin) has the “powers to
remove the president but the president cannot remove him”.
To Mr Boadu, such remarks serve no purpose, and accused the Speaker of being a beneficiary of a position he never worked.
“The
Speaker, as we all know, is only benefiting from what he didn’t work
for and, as a result, he has been passing comments that sometimes are
strictly unnecessary. For instance, he passed a comment that he has the
capacity to impeach or remove the president and the president cannot
remove you [Alban Bagbin] …
“[It] is totally unnecessary because he forgets that, as a Speaker, he doesn’t even have a vote.
“So,
on what basis is he saying that? Or he’s going to supervise a distorted
proposal for impeachment or what? I think it’s time he recognises that
he’s benefiting from something he didn’t work for,” Boadu said.
