The Minority in Parliament has demanded agents used in the distribution of food, water and other social protection items to be fair without partisan considerations.
The Caucus told a News conference at the Parliament House in Accra that it was in no way against the interventions, but pointed out that they must be fair, transparent to all the vulnerable in the affected communities.
Minority Chief Whip Mubarak Muntaka led the conference, addressed by several members in the caucus including Nii Lante Vanderpuije, MP for Odododiodio, Alfred Oko Vanderpuije, MP Ablekuma South, Nobert Nogbey, MP for AShaiman, Dr Zanetor Agyeman-Rawlings, MP for Klottey Korley, Sophia Akuaku, MP for Obom-Domeabra, and Comfort Doyoe Ghansah, MP for Ada.
It was partly in reaction to statement attributed to a broadcaster, Paul Adom Otchere accusing Dr Zanetor Agyeman-Rawlings on television and partly on the perceived unfairness in the distribution of food to the vulnerable.
Alhaji Muntaka said the stance of Mr Adom Otchere constituted an “unwarranted attack” as they, members of the Minority took part in approving financial assistance from Parliament that government sought to assist the vulnerable in the wake of the pandemic.
He stressed that the disease did not know any party colours hence the House was unanimous in approving the financial assistance that government sought
The Minority Chief Whip recalled that his Side suggested a non-partisan committee to handle the distribution, but the practice is that the distribution has become partisan using the National Disaster Management Organization.
Members of the Minority at the conference registered their displeasure at the exercise stressing fairness in all aspects to the advantage of the vulnerable.

NDC is trying all the can to infuse politics into this coronavirus thing. Creating mountains out of molehills. I am not sure where they are going with this, and why they think it can help enhance their electoral chances. They are rather losing lots of votes by the day.
Nothing will please you these people in the minority after selling Ghana out to foreign galamseyers, after selling Ghana for Air bus bribe,after selling Ghana for Turkey energy company/ Aska you are still calling for fairness when fairness is glaring? I dont really know what Ghana will do to satisfy these people in opposition if Ghana is not handed over to them then they think Ghana will not have peace but they lie, ndc will never come to power in Ghana today or tomorrow aah but who told you your 4 regions can give you power ? When Ashanti region was on a pilot program for 3 years was ndc fair? Imagine john mahama had that idea of NHIS and npp started with capitation pilot program in the then Northen region to kill them would ndc be happy? Would ndc be happy? but look at you with no shame fighting over free food and free water like they left money for this project. Ndc has no shame ! Who told your people to line up for the free food for them to complain? Why are cpp, pnc,ppp and ndp members not complaining about card before the food but only ndc members? Advise your people to come to you minority members for food to avoid the descrimination they talking about because ndc didnt leave a dime for this government for ndc foolsoldiers to enjoy. Nkwas*easem kwa !the government is not sharing the foood because of ndc so sh*ut up ! The government shoukd ig*nore them they dont need any special treatment for free food. Nonse*nse !
