Okatakyie Amankwa Afrifa<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Western Regional Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP),\u00a0Okatakyie Amankwa Afrifa, has appealed to delegates to comport themselves during and after the upcoming parliamentary primaries.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe do not expect that anything untoward will happen.\u00a0 As delegates, you know the aspirants you want to vote for so please go to the polling center and do just that,\u201d he emphasized.<\/p>\n
He also encouraged them to promote peace when campaigning for their preferred aspirants.<\/p>\n
He was hopeful that the NPP would set a record as the first political party in the country to break the eight-year term for the Presidency adding, \u201cour chances of winning the December 7 elections are super bright\u201d.<\/p>\n
Mr. Afrifa also called for an amendment of the clause in the constitution that enjoins the President to appoint 50 per cent of his Ministers from the country\u2019s legislative assembly.<\/p>\n
The amendment, he noted, was an antidote to killing the desire of some individuals who would want to use Parliament as a conduit to get ministerial appointments.<\/p>\n
\u201cI believe that appointment of ministers from Parliament is not helping in nurturing and raising career Parliamentarians for the legislature, as well as its independence,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cNow about 18 experienced MPs are leaving the house including Joe Ghartey, the MP for Essikado-Ketan who is the only legislator from the region occupying the front seat in the House,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
He noted that now that seating MP, Joe Ghartey, is leaving Parliament, the western region has no front liners in the house which should be a cause of concern to\u00a0those in the region.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is on this premise that I wish that all sitting NPP MPs in the region will be retained in Saturday\u2019s parliamentary primaries,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
He wished that the delegates would allow their sitting MPs carry on and move forward to get the Western Region what he termed as \u2018front appearance\u2019.<\/p>\n
He said, those desiring political and ministerial appointment, must be those who have dedicated themselves to the course of the party at all levels.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you want to be a minister, come, and let us work and get the reward, not\u00a0to think that I want to go to Parliament to become a minister,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
