The anti-corruption crusader and Member of Parliament (MP) for Asikuma-Odoben-Brakwa Constituency in the Central Region, P.C. Appiah-Ofori has flayed his Minority Leader, Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu for daring to defend the former Speaker of Parliament, Mr. Ebenezer Sekyi-Hughes.Mr. Begyina Sekyi-Hughes is reported to have vacated his official bungalow with all state property such as furniture, cutlery, pillow cases, flower pots, curtains and many more.The Minority Leader said the incident was not deliberate but as a result misinformation.
Mr. Appiah Ofori, who was incensed about the Minority Leader’s defense of the former Speaker over the allegation of looting state properties at his official bungalow, used unprintable words on the Minority leader for daring to defend the beleaguered former Speaker.The verbal attack was on Kyzz 89.7 FM, on Tuesday. Even when the host of the programme drew P.C. Appiah-Ofori's attention to the fact that he was using unprintable words on his Minority leader the anti corruption crusader would not barge, "I don't condone stupidity, I don’t condone irregularity, I hate people who cover the truth”, he stated.P.C. Appiah Ofori wants Mr. Sekyi-Hughes arrested and charged for stealing state property saying what the speaker did was "unparliamentary" and unconstitutional.He alleged the former Speaker embarked on several conferences together with his wife and collected per diem for her in the name of Parliament. Mrs. Becky Sakyi-Hughes was the Treasurer of the Western Regional New Patriotic Party and resigned from the position when her husband was appointed Speaker in the last Parliament.
Continuing, Mr. Appiah Ofori said the parliamentary planning committee held a conference and budgeted for a total amount of 5.4 billion old cedis but strangely enough, the total expenditure of the conference eventually turned out to be 11.6 billion old cedis, exceeding by 4.2 billion cedi (old cedis).What is more, the Speaker presided over the said conference and imported hand bags for sale to each member who attended the said conference, a situation he described as unparliamentarily and frowned upon by the regulations of the House.Hon Appiah Ofori also noted that the conduct of the Speaker should not be swept under the carpet.The Minority Leader described the conduct of the former Speaker as not the best, but chided P.C. Appiah-Ofori for always going public with wrong information, and later apologising.
