The Editor-in-Chief of the New Crusading Guide, Kweku Baako, says the three leaders of parliament who have been reshuffled into government ought to blame for not consulting their colleague Members of Parliament.
According to him, Mr Bagbin, E.T. Mensah and John Tia must have been informed by the president of his decision to include them in his administration; hence, they could have alerted their colleagues before the official announcement was made.
The majority in parliament scheduled to meet President Mills Thursday following his appointing of Cletus Avoka and Rashid Pelpuo as Majority and Deputy Leader respectively without their express knowledge and consultation.
During the meeting, the President would have to convince the majority side of parliament, some of whom have refused to accept the confirmation of those appointed, accusing the president of not consulting them before making the decision.
In view of this, Mr Baako questioned how a party that is made up of people who have had ‘overexposure’ in politics should be making such basic mistakes as far as information flow is concerned.
He was speaking on Metro TV’s Good Morning Ghana on Thursday.
He added however that should the government announce names of other parliamentarians apart from Mr Cletus Avoka and Rashid Pelpuo for the positions, it would be “a transient embarrassment.”
