Frank Annor–Dompreh, Member of Parliament for Nsawam-Adoagyiri, has challenged the Minority in Parliament to open discussions before the House about claims of plagiarism regarding President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo's inaugural speech.

Speaking on Peace FM's 'Kokrokoo', Hon. Annor-Dompreh dared the Minority Leader, Haruna Iddrisu and his Members of Parliament should be bold to revive the topic on the floor of House and to him, the Majority has an appropriate response for them.

According to him, Ghanaians have seen the tricks of the Minority and so advised them to review their behaviour, noting that their attitude led them to opposition.

“For once, let’s think positively and let’s be positive once . . . Let us all support this man,” he said.

The opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) has accused President Nana Akufo- Addo of lifting passages from the speeches of US Presidents, George Bush and Bill Clinton.

Though the Acting Director of Communications at the Presidency, Mr. Eugene Arhin has apologized; the NDC seems to make political capital out of the issue.

Hon. Annor-Dompreh hoped the Minority "will make it official. And when it comes to Parliament, they should be confident enough . . . We will give them the right response. If care is not taken, our dear minority; Ghanaians will not take you serious."

He advised the Minority to be serious and make constructive criticisms, saying "we want to take the minority serious . . . They should stop swimming in the surface of the sea and move to deeper waters.”
