Phillis Naa Koryoo Okunor, Member of Parliament for Awutu Senya East
Special aide to Phillis Naa Koryoo Okunor, the Member of Parliament for Awutu Senya East, Nana Bamfo, has dismissed allegations leveled against the lawmaker by some aggrieved members of the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
The dissatisfied party members, led by Deputy Communications Officer Kobby Wilson, accused the MP of sidelining them and making decisions in consultation with her husband.
According to them, the MP has refused to consult party members on any issues and instead seeks advice from her husband.
They warned her that they voted for the MP and not her husband, emphasizing the need for her to tread cautiously.
However, responding to these concerns, the special aide refuted the claims, insisting that the MP has neither ignored nor sidelined party executives or leadership within the constituency.
He stated that the party has established rules and regulations, and if members have concerns, it is their responsibility to submit them through the proper party channels to be addressed.
“So, it’s shocking that these party leaders, who should know better, have chosen to air their grievances publicly through the media while making disturbing remarks about the MP. I’m curious why they keep targeting her. I wonder what this means for our campaigns in 2028 and how we will persuade constituents to support our candidate.
“The first point is that the forum in which they are expressing their grievances is inappropriate. They should file their concerns with the regional office, and if dissatisfied, escalate them to the national office. If all other options fail, they can then seek alternative means.
“I’m also surprised they have dragged the MP’s husband into the matter. The truth is that some of these individuals had issues with the MP even before the election. I keep wondering who they will blame next, after the husband.”
He further revealed that the aggrieved party supporters are upset over certain appointments they expected to come from their circles but fail to recognize that the MP has no authority to make appointments; she can only recommend, just like other officials.
