The Minority in Parliament yesterday (Tuesday) boycotted the swearing-in of Madam Lydia Alhassan, who was elected the Member of Parliament for Ayawaso West Wuogon constituency during the by-election by brandishing placards describing her as a "Bloody Widow" in the August House.
According to the minority, Lydia Alhassan is the beneficiary of the bloody incidence which marred the Ayawaso West Wuogon Constituency by-election.
Against this backdrop, the National Organiser of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), Sammy Awuku has descended heavily on the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) Minority in Parliament for the high level of descrmination meted out to Madam Lydia Alhassan yesterday at the parliament house.
In a post on his facebook page, Sammy Awuku said; "It is rather unfortunate that these are legislators, who contribute to the advocacy of women empowerment and laws against discrimination and infringement of human rights, behaved in such a distasteful manner. Then again, it is surprising how men born of women exhibited such glaring disrespect!"

I do not think that the proponents of democracy envisaged the terrible conduct of the minority in parliament yesterday as a feature of democracy. To "welcome" a yet-to-be sworn-in member of parliament in such a manner was just not RIGHT .
It is rather unfortunate that these are legislators, who contribute to the advocacy of women empowerment and laws against discrimination and infringement of human rights, behaved in such a distasteful manner.Then again,it is surprising how men born of women exhibited such glaring disrespect!
Such an irony!!!
The minority should bow down their heads in SHAME for their GROSS misconduct yesterday.

In fact, most NDC member are 'bloody MPs' since they all benefited from bloody related election violence! All NDC members are criminals since their criminal party was formed out of criminal and treasonable coup d'états! Christians believe in Christ, so we are called Christians, so as whatever organization you belong to, is what you are called!
THE OPPOSITION PARTY IS BRCOMING DISHONOUREDD AND DISGRACEFULLL PARTY. EVEN WHEN THEY HAVE A BEAUTIFUL CASE, THEY SQUANDER THE OPPORTUNITY. MANY GHANAIANS WERE UNHAPPY ABOUT AYAWASO SHOOTING EVEN THOUGH NOBODY DIED. UNTIL A STRONG CASE IS ESTABLISH TO JUSTIFY THE THE ATTACK OF THE CANDIDATES HOUSE GHANAIANS WOULD HAVE BLAMED THE GOVERNMENT SECURITY FORCES. THE OPPOSITION RIGHT FROM THE ONSET HAS SHOWN NO WISDOM TO TAKE ADVANTAGE. WHAT THEY HAVE SHOWN IS ANGER AND EMOTIONS WITHOUT ANY STRATEGIC DIPLOMACY. OFOSU AMPOFU YIELDED TO PRESSURE TO WITHDRAW POLLING AGENTS WHICH COULD NOT STOP HIS PARTY MEMBERS TO VOTE. THE ACTION MADE THE REST OF THE ELECTION MORE BEAUTIFUL, PEACEFUL AND WELL ACCEPTABLE. MAHAMA BOOT FOR BOOT COMMENT AND DECLARATION OF NDC AS NOTORIOUSLY VIOLENT PARTY REFLECTED IMMATURITYYY WHICH INVITED CONDEMNATIONN.THE ATTEMPT TO JUSTIFY THE UGLYYY STATEMENT OF MAHAMA BY HIS GENERAL SECRETARY AND OTHERS IN HIS PARTY TAINTS ANY BRIGHT IMAGE THAT THE PARTY MAY HAVE. THE BOYCOTT OF THE SWEARING IN OF THE NEW MP AND THE TYPE OF PLACARDS USED TO REGISTER THEIR PROTEST DEPICT THE PARLIAMENTARIANS FROM THE OPPOSITION SIDE AS RECKLESSS AND THOUGHTLESSSS. THE EXAGGERATION OF THE INCIDENT, INTEMPERATEE REACTION AND THE ASSAULT OF SAM GEORGE AND ITS ***barred word*** RESPONSE, ROB THE MP AND THE OPPOSITION THE CLAIM OF ANY SYMPATHY FOR A VICTIM. THOUGH THE EXACT CLAIM THAT TRIGGER THE AYAWASO SHOOTING IS YET TO BE ESTABLISHED THE OPPOSITION IS ALREADY LOSING THE CASE WHICH COULD HAVE BECOME A POLITICAL GAIN AS THE SHOOTING IS NOT YET SUBSTANTIATED. IT IS TIME FOR NDC LEADERSHIP TO SIT UP TO PROVE THEMSELVES MATURE, REASONABLE AND WORTHY ALTERNATIVE TO BE ENTRUSTED THE DESTINY OF THE NATION.

I think the minority did the right thing by boycotting the swearing in of the MP elect, the election of her has some issues which needs to be dealt with. Lets put ourselves in the shoes of the people who were shot and beaten at the said election. they are also human and belong to family and have people who loved them as they love their MP elect. If we don't address this issue now it will affect us tomorrow. if is bad lets say is bad no matter who did it. God bless our country Ghana.
