A decision by the Minority in Parliament not to acknowledge the newly elected Member of Parliament for Ayawaso West Wuogon, has been rubbished by the Majority.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Deputy Majority Whip, Mathew Nyindam in an interview on Joy FM\u2019s Top Story said, no decision taken by the Minority will have any effect on the\u00a0new MP\u2019s performance\u00a0or cause her to lose what she is rightfully entitled to.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

He added that \u201cthey have no choice. What is the meaning of they won\u2019t recognise her? Which aspect of the Constitution or our Standing Orders are they going to <\/span><\/span>use?<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThey can sit in their comfort and say they don\u2019t recognise her but that is their issue, but on the <\/span><\/span>floor<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>, they can never,\u201d he added.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The NDC MPs are enraged about government\u2019s failure to identify and punish some so-called National Security officers who assaulted Ningo Prampram MP, Samuel George during last Thursday\u2019s by-election in the Ayawaso West Wuogon Constituency which saw the NPP\u2019s Lydia Alhassan win by a landslide.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
