Such insensitivity! And when he\u2019s called out for it, he says that it was somebody in the Minority.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI dare Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu if he has any integrity left in him, I am daring Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu, I said I am daring him if he has any integrity left he should mention the MP who sent it to him,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>According to the Ningo-Prampram MP, \u201cthat cake was done by himself! It is the insensitivity of those in power, the haughtiness and arrogance of those in power; they think they can do what and whatever they want.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am saying who sent the cake to them? I say I am daring him, I am daring Kyei- Mensah- Bonsu \u2013 he\u2019s someone who doesn\u2019t like to be challenged at all and I am daring him. If he has any integrity he should mention the NDC MP who sent it to him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He further revealed that no member from the Minority side was invited to the birthday celebration so he questioned why the party will go to great lengths to offer him a cake.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe weren\u2019t even invited to the party. Even if it was a gift that he did not agree with, why did he gleefully stand there and cut the cake? Who put out the pictures? Those were official pictures put out by him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen his own party base turns on him because even the NPP foot soldiers know that they will feel the pinch of the e-levy because of the waste in the system. You\u2019re bringing in an e-levy when they turn the waste on him then they come out with this impotent lie that it is an NDC MP,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cLike I said, I am repeating it again. Honourable Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu, MP for Suame, I\u2019m looking you in the face through the camera, Minister for Parliamentary Affairs and leader of government business I dare you to name the NDC MP who sent you the cake. If you can\u2019t name him in 24 hours the whole country will know that you\u2019re a liar!\u201d he emphasised.<\/p>\n<p>            <!--  [embed]https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=videoseries[\/embed]<!--\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>--><\/p>\n<div class=\"youtube-embed\" data-video_id=\"lvbDFC2vDEs\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"GFA Referees, Stop misbehaving, Our League is not a Joke - Fire 4 Fire on Adom TV (9-2-22)\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/lvbDFC2vDEs?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#13; &#13; &#13; &#13; Member of Parliament for Ningo-Prampram, Sam George, has dared the Majority Leader, Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu to name the National Democratic Congress (NDC) legislator who allegedly gifted him an E-Levy crafted cake.
