The host of Good Evening Ghana on Metro TV, Paul Adom Otchere, has condemned the Minority in parliament for their highest level of disdain in welcoming Lydia Seyram Alhassan, the newly elected Member of Parliament (MP) for Ayawaso West Wuogon, with placards inscribed ‘Bloody Widow’.
According to him, their reaction is of the 'dark age' where Ghana is viewed as an uncivilized country with no respect for women.
Mr Adom Otchere believes the Minority reaction was a wanton abuse for procedure.
Paul Adom Otchere was of the view that walking out of parliament in registering a protest is something that is acceptable as ‘normal’ parliamentary practice, but to put out a poster to call a colleague MP ‘bloody widow’ is uncalled for.
“The honourable James Agalga should be ashamed of himself,” he stated on his Good Evening Ghana show on Metro TV.
Recollecting when the NPP wore dark clothes to welcome the late President Atta-Mills in Parliament, Mr Adom Otchere said it was condemned by all and sundry.
“There is James Agalga, a former deputy minister for the Interior, holding ‘bloody widow’ to a woman who contested elections after her husband died…..this is the NDC Minority in Parliament's day of shame; it’s a day of disgrace and it’s a horrible day in the annals of Ghana’s parliament,” Mr Adom Otchere observed with disappointments.
“To call the honourable Member of Parliament, who has become Member of Parliament and who will continue to play her role as a Member of Parliament…..she is going to sit with some of these people in the committees in Parliament and they put up a poster and say ‘bloody widow’……my goodness!”, he charged.
He asked Ghanaians to condemn the action of the minority and demonstrate that women are respected within the Ghanaian society.

Oye Litther have no shame ,your husband divorced you because you were having extra marital affairs and you are here calling someone names. are you not a side chick
Honesty is very expensive so I don't expect you to come close it per your submission. Some MPs were elected into parliament under similar brutalities yet no one tagged them "bloody" because they were not directly involved in the those acts. How do you defend this backward practice of the minority in parliament who are supposed to know better? Did the woman shoot any one in the process? In the real sense of what the minority MPs did, they are telling us that the woman killed the late MP. Now let us come to the root of their childish behaviour. Did the police just get up to shoot without reason? Why is Sam George walking free after lying that someone had been "killed in his own house? Did anybody die for him to spewing lies? Why did those unruly tugs of the NDC start shooting from the candidate's house? Remember there is no smoke without fire.
paul u are just a ***barred word*** period..***barred word*** man..everyday it was comdemnd by all..what condmnation did you give when they wore the black dresses to parliament that time..stop that hypocrisy...we know you are working for them...the chick of it
OYE LITHER HAS NO SHAME. PAUL, YOU ARE DAMN RIGHT. THESE ***barred word*** NDC FUUUULS MUST GROW UP
I have made an observation under the sun, this brouhaha is part of the game of politics. Sometimes you need to make your self available to be beaten then when your party comes back to power , you will be given a sensitive ministerial post as pacification. Watch it, those who are not beaten are not normally given the juicy posts. .
I can see clearly,that when you are in power you do the beating and the opposition will cry and match; then you turn the formula when the power changes. NDC can not say they were right, NPP can not say they are right now. How i wish I could start a movement to say we will not vote again. But i wonder oooo, who again can we vote for?
When Shatta Wale refered to Ghana as a village, we didnt understand and was chastising him now see what people who we refer to them as "honorables " because of how we expect them to conduct themseles are doing. If not a "village" where will these things happen.
Is being ***barred word*** and disrespectful a new theme for National Democratic Congress? A well educated man representing a number of people would not behave as such. We have allowed people with minimal IQs into parliament, so this is what we're going get.
@SANK after reading your comment, i wonder if you think an eye for an eye is the right way to go. Both parties have rather played on your intelligence no matter the divide you stand. May be you need to maintain your cool and think of issues that truly will develop us as one people.
Where Was Paul When Charlotte Was Called By All Sorts Of Names And Descriptions? Was Paul Not One Of Those Senseless People Who Called Her Names Using His Air Time At Metro Tv? I Think The Head Of Paul Is Not Sitting Well On The Neck And What Is In His Head Is Not Brain But Something Different. May Be Ashes. The Senselessness, Unintelligence, Unreasonable Pride And Arrogance Of Paul Is Getting Out Of Hands. Nonesense Plus Nonesense
