NPP Ashanti Regional Secretary, Sam Pyne has slammed the Minority in Parliament over their behaviour towards Chief Justice Anin Yeboah during President Nana Akufo-Addo's State of the Nation Address.
The President delivered his State of the Nation Address on Tuesday, March 9 on the floor of Parliament.
He touched on his achievements and development initiatives to be implemented in his second term.
Although the President had his share of Minority interjections, what has caught attention is the Minority's cold reception to the Chief Justice.
The Minority booed and hissed when the Speaker of Parliament, Rt. Hon. Alban Bagbin acknowledged the Chief Justice's presence at the function.
Sam Pyne is utterly disappointed in the Minority.
Contributing to Peace FM's "Kokrokoo", he described the Minority's action as an embarrassment to the world.
"It wasn't a good thing to show the world. If we do that, then we're portraying that either someone didn't tell us the truth or we don't respect the court decision. Moreover, the Chief Justice is not the court; it's a panel and none of them dissented," he said.

Mr Bagbin has a lot of work to do to tame the wild irresponsible hooligans. NDC as a political party had entirely lost focus. Theirs is bullying their way into politics to gain political power so as to loot and share. Ghanaians are fed up with that kind of kleptocracy which NDC per its previous administration, aside that of President Mills, had offered Ghanaians Governance duped with rampant greed and corruption. Competence is alien in their quest of delivering on their political mandate whenever they undesrvedly get the opportunity. Look at them as members of Parliament in the house of the Parliament, their insolent demeanor, rudely displayed to hooting at the respected wife of the Vice President was an eyesore and a political hazard. Dr. Owusu Afriyie-Akoto, is a good example of a politician who has the subjective academic qualifications and competent accomplishments which could go a long way to benefit the NDC politicians if they do seek in good faith to emmulate. And the NPP has a lot of competent politicians, Joe wise is obviously one of them. Ghana is doing fairly well in growing her democracy and any democratic institution which fails to recognize and respect this positive development will fail bitterly as lacking the competence to progress with mother Ghana. The present constellation in the Parliament in terms of the numbers of the representatives seems to the NDC, as it were, as a God-given tool to run the NPP down by all means. Thus, NDC lacks the competence to make a genuine and informed democratic use of it, that indeed, it has the ability to present better alternative solutions.
