The leader of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) caucus in Parliament, Hon Osei Kyei Mensah Bonsu has responded to some comments made by Speaker of Parliament, Alban Sumana Bagbin.
Alban Bagbin in his maiden address said: "That is the message in the votes of 136 in favor of Rt Hon. Aaron Mike Oquaye, as to 138 for Hon Alban Sumana Kingsford Bagbin, with one spoilt ballot, which propelled me to this high office of Speaker of the Parliament of Ghana.”
However, in a panel discussion on Joy FM's Newsfile programme, Hon Osei Kyei Mensah Bonsu queried "how did he come by that" insisting that the election of the Speaker was by consensus.
"When we went into the dialogue I said there should be a rerun…then Haruna went out to consult his people came back and flatly rejected my position. Then I suggested us to swear in Bagbin as Speaker then later we conduct the election afresh…Haruna stepped out again to consult and came back with a disagreement and then Okudjeto who was following him (Haruna) said Bagbin should be sworn in as the Speaker…finally we then said by consensus that Bagbin won without premising it on any number……" he reiterated.

The elections are over. The Speaker is sworn in. We are in a new year. I wish we mind our utterances, unite and behave as one people for the sake of mother Ghana. We should be mindful posterity will judge us one day. United we stand; divided we fall. God bless us all.
Kyei mensah bonus is very arrogant and he will soon see his smoothness level why didn't we all watch the proceedings live and didn't we all saw that former speaker got 136 and there was one spoilt ballot and did we not also see charos uselessssssss MP bolting away with ballot papers upon the instructions of kyei mensah ,look npp is a shameful party and I want the speaker to deal with this guy he is so uselessssssss
Are you all dumb? or daft? Did you understand what Kyei_mensah said? Discerning people listening to him on air not only understood him but that it was already known through sources in parliament. Bagbin got it mixed up, that's all he is saying. Why insult him? You are as reckless in your orientation as the ***barred word*** mps who misbehaved on the floor that night/morning. Grow up, boys, and don't stay daft!!
Bagbin is the speaker, so shut the fucck up...you can go to helll...we are tired of biases ....
He came by 138 after adding those Carlos Ahenkorah snatched and chewed. You think everyone is undiscerning.
Why can't you people eat a humble pie and stop this arrogance. Why do you think every Ghanaian is naive? Even you Kyei Mensah Bonsu don't believe in your own statement but you expect all of us to accept it.
Keep quite there. We're you not the one who sent Carlos Ahenkorah to snatch the ballot papers and chew. What moral authority do you have to ask such a question? Shame on you Lawrence Addai(Osei Kyei Mensah Bonsu)
KEEP BLEEDING OSEI KYEI MENSAH
