Member of Parliament for Gomoa Central, Kwame Asare Obeng, popularly known as A Plus, has expressed displeasure over claims by some individuals that he is not articulate in English and therefore does not actively contribute during parliamentary proceedings.

In a video shared on X on August 14, 2026, an aggrieved A Plus said he does not entirely blame such critics, arguing that many Ghanaians have been conditioned to believe that a good and hardworking Member of Parliament is loud and constantly speaks on the floor of Parliament.

The MP also took a swipe at some of his colleagues, claiming that his children, who live in the United Kingdom, speak better English than some of the MPs whom Ghanaians often describe as eloquent.

“I don't blame them. I feel sad for them. Sometimes what makes me angry is when people say I don't speak in Parliament because I can't speak English. The English some people speak in Parliament, when I show it to my children, they ask me, ‘What are they saying?’

“My children live in London. The English some people speak in Parliament, they don't understand it. If you think that is proper English, my children don't understand what they are saying,” he said.

A Plus further noted that he is not bothered by such criticisms.

According to him, his primary objective in Parliament is to bring development to his constituency rather than engage in unnecessary shouting during debates.

“What I'm trying to tell you is that we have made it look like just going to the floor of Parliament and screaming makes you the best MP.

“I'm not going to Parliament to scream. I had a plan before I entered Parliament, and that plan was to use my position to change many things in Gomoa. That is my focus, not making noise for people to think I am working,” he added.
