You are right, Ghana's Parliament is meant to be taken serious. You will be a fool to take them serious! They are at work just as you are at yours in your office or market or wherever. The composition of the House even confirms they are not to be taken serious. They are not achievers so that place gives them relief and makes them 'somebody's" in society. No seriously engaged person in life will desire to be there. Disappointed lawyers, teachers, housewives, street corner rabble rousers

To call somebody a thief is a grievous insult. JM should instruct his lawyers to start a case of character defamation against Ursula Owusu, for a personal insult to the president.Even if she was referring to the election results, she has no basis till the supreme court declares that the declaration of JM as president was fraudulent. SO please, JM call ursula to order to explain why she called you a thief. This is a personal matter and we your admirers are worried

"Ever since I was elected to become a leader in parliament, I can boldly tell you that I have always abhorred the use of placards in settling a matter" says the Minority Leader.

So, Mr. Minority Leader, with all due respect, WHY NOW?

Must you ALL go down with your defeated Presidential Candidate? You may say NO, but that is exactly what is going on.

Even the RESPECTED Pianim from your side of Town and from the bleechers on your side of the aisle sees it that way.

If I were a justice of the Supreme Court I will have the NPP matter (or is it Akufo Addo et al Matter as we are hearing from some NPP big wigs?) thrown out. You CANNOT invoke the Jurisdiction of the Highest Court in the Land and be MISCONDUCTING yourselves and LITIGATING that same matter in the streets and on radio waves.

All you are trying to do is to sway Public Opinion and Prejudice the outcome.

It is no different from Peddling Falsehood so frequently with the hope that some would start believing it.

You cannot prejudice the process and expect it to see things your way. For, what if the Supreme Court does NOT see it the NPP way? After all, the NPP did not see it the Afari Djan way only because they lost.

If they had won, Afari Djan would continue to be the Greatest as he was in 2000 and 2004.

Please, as with All Democracies, you have the right to go down with your defeated candidate BUT don't take Ghana with you.

There's an ever widening gulf of difference between NDC and NPP pols and it goes without saying that as the leaders so are their followers. Hon Osei-Kyei Mensah-Bonsu, the minority leader in parliament is a top-notcher who has elevated fourth republic politics to an unprecedented high. In the midst of the grossly polarised political climate of today it takes a profundity of moral character to admit the minority group erred in flashing the "stealers" signs. To err is human but how many times in our political history have you heard any politician/s admit wrongdoing in anything? Just cite one example from the NDC side of the political aisle. The statement by Hon Osei-Kyei Mensah-Bonsu was without subtlety; just blunt talking and straight shooting but the nay-saying NDC crowd are growling and snarling. Hope the NDC can learn something from Hon Osei-Kyei Mensah-Bonsu .

If it were Kufuor who commissioned the road he would have taken the credit fully for himself without making any reference to the contributions of anybody. Such a greedy unintelligent president Ghana had ever had. Don't use your minority leader's admissions here to indicate that the NPP is honest. They only act before thinking that's all.

Mr.Boateng,
You just spoke what was on my mind. Is the Minority leader saying that the placards just mysteriously appeared in their hands and they also flashed it. They planned and printed the placards and went into parliament with them. The premeditation is clear. Yet these are the ones claiming to be the champions of the rule of law. The court is yet to determine the case but they have already concluded that others are thieves. Really sad for Ghana.

Uncle Frank, I don't know if you did listen to the SOTN address live on any of the radio or TV stations in Ghana. The NDC never started any hootings before the NPP MPs exited the hall with their cards because it defies any logic that they'll start hooting as the president was entering the building. Won't that have amounted to the NDC MPs hooting at the president and you think they would do that to the leader of their own party and for what reason?

The whole thing was PRE-MEDITATED; Planned, Lay in Wait and Executed.

It is therefore a LIE that you decided to flash the placards because the NDC members were hooting at you.

Placards are not allowed there so where did they get those placards and how did they send them there? Does he know that he and his group has violated the laws since he is telling us that no placards are allowed there or he is saying that they're above the laws of the country? Didn't we witness the same NPP MPS with placards in the parliament house in 2012 when the late Mills was presenting his SOTN address? What a shameful, lying, and lawless bunch. So despicable.

If Hon. Osei-Kyei Mesnah-Bonsu is telling us that it is because NPP MPs hooted at them that is why they showed the placards with inscription"STEALERS", is he by extension telling us that they teped and printed theSE placards after NDC has hooted at them?

It is not good enough to go on a radio station to try to justify the unjustifiable. The NPP leadership and parliamentarians should be apologizing to the nation in an official statement, just as it has been busy holding press conferences on the issue of their petition! What has the minority leader's discussion with the majority leader about their intentions got to do with anything? I would boo if I were in parliament and you sated only a day before, that you will attend the State of the Nation Address and then at the last minute chose en masse to leave the chambers when the president is about to deliver his address? That is not only rude and offensive but unbecoming a parliamentarian.

There was a case of a congressman, Joseph Wilson in the US Congress who tried such a stunt in 2010 against president Barack Obama and was sanctioned heavily. He had to personally apologize to the president for his stupid action in the chambers.

It is also quite silly of the MPs after boycotting the president's speech, then to reappear to enjoy the food and drinks after the event. This is just so cheap and so base, they don't deserve to represent their constituents. MPs of any political persuasion must know that it is the electorate, not their party that sent them there to represent them and actions such as are currently going on, are not serving those very constituents but themselves and their party leadership which is the worst that I can ever recall in the nation's history. They must apologize officially to Ghanaians about their actions and insulting the office of the president which after all, is what they themselves are now fighting for. How ironic!

The NPP party leading Executive members should know by now that since the December, 12 Presidential/Parliamentary Elections, their overt and couvert infantile behaviour has greatly destroyed their image in the eyes of Political players all over the world. The NPP party National executive and Elders have virtually lost control of thr party's administration to criminally-minded infantile youngmen led by the selfish, arrogant and proud Nana Osama Bin Laden Addo Danwka and his "Akyem Mafia" shameless gang bent on destroying the party. I am prophesising that sooner or later the over ambitious and selfish "Akyem Mafia" wii oust from the NPP party and formed their own party.

"STEALERS" in this context is absolutely right. It is an ingenious figurative usage for the process of stealing a verdict. It would have been wrong if this was some school kid stealing a pencil.

When we were young parliamentarians were held in awe because of the dignity they exuded. Surprisingly the level of education of most compared to today's crop was negligible but nonetheless, the decorum they observed both within and outside that AUGUST HOUSE called Parliament was par excellence.

Now we put into the house individuals, well educated but without morals who are no different from common rogues so what do you expect? If you sleep with dogs you should expect infestation of fleas.Or as my friend will put it bluntly, if you enter the chicken coop, you will definitely step into chicken shit.
