Such An Irony! Minority Should Bow Down Their Heads In Shame - Sammy Awuku
The Minority in Parliament yesterday (Tuesday) boycotted the swearing-in of Madam Lydia Alhassan, who was elected the Member of Parliament for Ayawaso West Wuogon constituency during the by-election by brandishing placards describing her as a "Bloody Widow" in the August House.
According to the minority, Lydia Alhassan is the beneficiary of the bloody incidence which marred the Ayawaso West Wuogon Constituency by-election.
Against this backdrop, the National Organiser of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), Sammy Awuku has descended heavily on the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) Minority in Parliament for the high level of descrmination meted out to Madam Lydia Alhassan yesterday at the parliament house.
In a post on his facebook page, Sammy Awuku said; "It is rather unfortunate that these are legislators, who contribute to the advocacy of women empowerment and laws against discrimination and infringement of human rights, behaved in such a distasteful manner. Then again, it is surprising how men born of women exhibited such glaring disrespect!"

I do not think that the proponents of democracy envisaged the terrible conduct of the minority in parliament yesterday as a feature of democracy. To "welcome" a yet-to-be sworn-in member of parliament in such a manner was just not RIGHT .
It is rather unfortunate that these are legislators, who contribute to the advocacy of women empowerment and laws against discrimination and infringement of human rights, behaved in such a distasteful manner.Then again,it is surprising how men born of women exhibited such glaring disrespect!
Such an irony!!!
The minority should bow down their heads in SHAME for their GROSS misconduct yesterday.
