NDC MP accuses Majority leader of operating Parliament like 'akpeteshie' bar

Parliament adjourned sine die on August 5, and are expected to resume on Tuesday, October 3, 2017 but parliamentarians are yet to be informed formally.

Member of Parliament for Banda constituency Ahmed Ibrahim has accused Majority Leader, Osei-Kyei Mensah-Bonsu of operating Parliament like an alcohol shop.

According to him, the posture of the Majority Leader, whose duty it is to inform parliamentarians about the break from the recession was like someone operating a 'blue kiosk'.
