The Member of Parliament(MP) for Asante Akim Central, Kwame Anyimadu-Antwi, has criticized the New Patriotic Party (NPP) for its alleged failure to protect experienced MPs. <\/p>\n

Mr Anyimadu-Antwi expressed concern over the departure of 18 experienced MPs, including Majority Leader Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu and First Deputy Speaker Joseph Osei Owusu from parliament.<\/p>\n

The MP who is seeking re-election for a fifth term is currently engaged in a highly competitive race with the Chief Executive Officer of the National Entrepreneurial and Innovation Programme (NEIP), Kofi Ofosu Nkansah.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

He has suggested that, the NPP should have emulated the National Democratic Congress (NDC) by protecting experienced members within the caucus.<\/p>\n

\u201cOnce you stay in Parliament for long, you get to know the law. Look at what the NDC is doing, they protected all the good materials in the party and I thought that the NPP would follow or copy the example of the NDC but I am not seeing that here.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have a whole constituency secretary orchestrating a diabolic plan to remove a peaceful member of Parliament,\u201d Mr Anyimadu-Antwi said on Citi FM.<\/p>\n

Asked what the NPP should have done to protect experienced MPs, Mr Anyimadu-Antwi responded, \u201cI think that as a democratic party what we can do is to have a very fair and transparent election and with that, the experienced ones will come back to Parliament.\u201d<\/p>\n
