Since when was pariliament increased from 230 to 275 which you fools could not use your processing mechanism in your head to know that as the additional 45-members would definatley join you good for-nothing in the house, it is a must that what need to be done about the refurbishment could have been hatched immediately after the 2012 elections.

Coming out to defend the indefensible is outright bull crap. What a hell you talking about a contractor you spoke to said it would take 1-1/2 years to come with a good and satisfactory job. Speaking with one contractor and relying on his opinion is absolutely nonsense. By the way why 10-man contingent was sent to China for these irresponsible deal when Ghanaian Furniture Companies are dare need of such contract to hire other artisans in that trade to assist them? Now let you fools come out with your nonsense taxes which is killing entreprises and the poor folks and we will decend heavily on you all fools in parliament and the executive branch. Now where is Omane Boamah and his nonsense saying on Tuesday that Mahama does what he talks. Is this real. Bunch of so-called useless honourable dodos.

There is a place where you can be sure that you would find a representative (MP) from every part of Ghana year round gathered together to deliberate on the future and the current state of this country. Where is that? Parliament house of course. If there is such a place then how should the place and the people there be treated in the scheme of things? What priority should such a house be given in the governance of the country? If there is such a place then what kind of people should we send there and how should we assess their performance?

Parliament must also provide a readily available renovated residence in Sakumono to a newly elected parliamentarian. Accommodation in Accra/Tema is expensive and not every MP-elect may have the money to rent a house as he or she may have exhausted his or her funds running for office.

Ghanaians and their governments do not like Ghana made goods and services. Let the government take a bold step and demonstrate outright that from hence forth, we shall use home made goods. We will ensure that Ghanaians eat locally grown rice, undertake construction with our own pozolana cement, ensure that all offices use local furniture, and many more.

This clearly shows the depth of complicity in Parliament to dwell more on imports than local products.

And to answer the Minority Leader's rhetorical question on whether the Parliament had to wait for a year for new Seats, I say: "YES!!!"

There was no indication the old Seats in Parliament would not survive another year. So, yes, the MPs could have waited for a year for a local manufacturer to delivery on the Furniture. Moreover, the Minority Leader admitted to talking to only one Furniture Manufacturer. Why did the Parliament not make the bid open to invite more potential local Manufacturers? This is the kind of procuring system in Ghana that has caused us massive loss of funds, over the years, through Corruption and incompetence.

Secondly, I think the Parliament conceded to the importation of the furniture to mute any agitation on the despicable loss of all our Quality Wood along with our massively devastated Forests.

The painful truth is that we do not have adequate high quality Wood locally easily available. And any special importation of Wood to undertake that project for the Parliament might have awkwardly revived the agitations on the Parliament's shared blame for causing the loss of our Forests.

The Parliament cannot escape the blame for our current predicament with our Forests and Wood. And its guilt would continue to tell on its performance for a long time till we grow our Forests back to reasonable levels of expanse and quality.

Shame unto the MPs!

Long Live Ghana!!!

This statement attributed to the Minority does not make sense. Is the minority leader a Procurement officer of Parliament? What business have got going round asking carpenters what they can do?

The fools instead of supporting the local manufacturers by way of grants to get whatever equipment was needed to get the job done within the time frame, simply walked away from them. Very short sighted thinking.
