We didn\u2019t hear her speak against it or stand against it before and after the incident which is very worrying and condemnable,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking as a panel on Adom TV\u2019s Morning show, Mr Kwakye-Ofosu added that her actions showed she was in support of the violence that took place in her constituency.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe saw these masked men protecting her in videos, so we can\u2019t exempt her from the violence that was going on. She would have shown she was a woman of principles if she came out to condemn the Ayawaso West Wougon by-election violence.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat is happening in Parliament is to create emphasis on the fact that she sat aloof when the violence was taking place in her constituency. Any time she speaks she reminds us of the pain we went through at her constituency,\u201d he claimed.<\/p>\n<p>The Minority in Parliament on Monday ignored and refused to comment on a statement made by the New Patriotic Party (NPP) MP.<\/p>\n<p>The norm in the House is that a Minority member makes a statement after a Majority member has put an issue before the House.<\/p>\n<p>The NPP MP, after being sworn-in on February 5, 2019,  a ceremony which was boycotted by the Minority in Parliament, gave her maiden statement in commemoration of the World Health Day.<\/p>\n<p>While she was still talking, the National Democratic Congress MPs reportedly exhibited disinterest and refused to make any contribution after her statement when called upon to contribute by the Speaker, Prof. Mike Ocquaye.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a style=\"display:none\" rel=\"follow\" href=\"http:\/\/megatheme.ir\/\" title=\"\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633\">\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>General News of Tuesday, 9 April 2019 Source: adomonline.com 2019-04-09 Mr Felix Kwakye-Ofosu, Former Deputy Communications Minister A former Deputy Communications Minister, Mr Felix Kwakye-Ofosu says the Minority ignoring the Ayawaso West Wuogon constituency Member of Parliament (MP), Lydia Seyram Alhassan in Parliament was a wake-up call to the government to give justice to victims [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":606428,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-606427","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-local-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Ignoring Ayawaso MP a wake-up call to government - Kwakye-Ofosu - Ghanamma.com<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2019\/04\/09\/ignoring-ayawaso-mp-a-wake-up-call-to-government-kwakye-ofosu\/\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:title\" content=\"Ignoring Ayawaso MP a wake-up call to government - Kwakye-Ofosu - Ghanamma.com\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:description\" content=\"General News of Tuesday, 9 April 2019 Source: adomonline.com 2019-04-09 Mr Felix Kwakye-Ofosu, Former Deputy Communications Minister A former Deputy Communications Minister, Mr Felix Kwakye-Ofosu says the Minority ignoring the Ayawaso West Wuogon constituency Member of Parliament (MP), Lydia Seyram Alhassan in Parliament was a wake-up call to the government to give justice to victims [&hellip;]\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@ghanamma\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@ghanamma\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Ghana News\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.ghanamma.com\\\/2019\\\/04\\\/09\\\/ignoring-ayawaso-mp-a-wake-up-call-to-government-kwakye-ofosu\\\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.ghanamma.com\\\/2019\\\/04\\\/09\\\/ignoring-ayawaso-mp-a-wake-up-call-to-government-kwakye-ofosu\\\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Ghana News\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.ghanamma.com\\\/2019\\\/#\\\/schema\\\/person\\\/53d06a757a4242f113d200e3c290c036\"},\"headline\":\"Ignoring Ayawaso MP a wake-up call to government &#8211;
