This feminist, arrogant, disrespectful, shameful and idiotic girl has no respect for anybody. How dare she behave like this? Is the job her parents private property? Her behaviour stinks and is totally out of order. How can such an uncouth girl be appointed to a public office? And be paid with taxpayer’s money? Go and check her private life too. Oh poor Ghana. These guys are heading back to opposition swiftly with such rotten behaviour. GYIMIE NE NKWASEASEM NKOAAAAAA

NPP is dominated by Akans and per Akan tradition a woman cannot insult a man in public.No serious NPP Supporter would support their women who don't have husbands to insult another woman's husband in public.

They say coming events cast their shadows. John Mahama may be having a good intention to give opportunities to NDC youth but most of them are not ready and are a wrong choice.

WILL THE SPEAKER AND SOME OF YOU SAME PEOPLE ASK YOUR WIVES AND DAUGHTERS TO BE QUIET WHEN A JACKASS THREATENS THEM? THESE JACKASSES SHOULDN'T HIDE BEHIND 'PARLIAMENTARY RESPECT' TO THREATEN PEOPLE. NOBODY TALKED ABOUT THE COLLAPSE OF OUR DEMOCRACY WHEN WE WERE HEARING '24-HR MAJORITY'. WHY SHOULD THERE BE A THREAT TO OUR DEMOCRACY, WHEN THERE IS TALK ABOUT 'MICRO-MINORITY'? MEANWHILE, THE LOOTERS AND THIEVES OF OUR RESOURCES AND STATE FUNDS ARE ROAMING AROUND PLANNING THEIR ESCAPES FROM JUSTICE!

2. Bagbin, you yourself is on record to have said that MPs take bribes in the house.

3. Andy Appiah Kubi had alleged that a tycoon brought a bagful of millions of dollars to bribe the Ken Must Go MPs

4. We also know of PC Ofori's allegations that MPs take bribes. Infact , he penned a letter to Kwadwo Mpianim the Chief of Staff to Prez Kufuor demanding for his fair share of bribery money to MPs.

So, Mr. Bagbin, MPs have no respect in the eyes of majority of right thinking Ghsnaians.

The NDC leadership in parliament are very unduly friendly. They should stop some treating the npp MPs like annor dompreh as kings. The npp is not a group of people to sit down and tolerate. Even when they've lost some seats afenyo and annor dompreh have connived with EC to declare for them, these are not people to support to continue to misbehave. The speaker, ayariga and Haruna should be careful not to embolden these guys to start bullying NDC party members.

it takes two to fight, so look for the person who started it .

if somebody say Micro minority how could that be an insult ?
why are you not talking about the threats Annor Dompreh said ?
or you consider -the statement of Annor dompreh not a threat ?
if somebody say - I will deal with you, do you consider it as a normal statement ?
