Member of Parliament for Ablekuma West, Mrs Ursula Ekuful has described President John Dramani Mahama�s use of the popular Akan word �tweaa� in Parliament as a sign of gross disrespect to the Speaker, Rt Hon Edward Doe Adjaho. Delivering his State of the Nation Address on Tuesday, President Mahama after hearing the word �Tweaa� on the floor of Parliament asked �Who said Tweaa? Are you my co-equal?� Prior to this, the Speaker of Parliament had banned the use of the word �tweaa� which was fast becoming a very popular catchphrase in Ghana. According to him, the use of that particular Akan word was un-parliamentary and should not be part of the �Parliamentary lexicon.� It is in this regard that the Member of Parliament for Ablekuma West thinks President Mahama�s use of the �un-parliamentary� word after the Speaker's ban; was a sign of disrespect. �Even though the Speaker of Parliament had declared the word un-parliamentary, the President started using it in his (Speaker) presence. I felt it wasn�t proper�in my view it didn�t show too much respect� she said on �Kokrokoo�. She told Kwami Sefa Kayi that President Mahama seemed not to have taken the delivering of the address serious because �he was in a relaxed mood� and made lots of jokes. �Yes, admittedly he was a former parliamentarian and so he felt at home but he was also fulfilling a constitutional mandate and so some level of seriousness should have been attached to his presentation. He was in too much of a relaxed mood and so it gave the impression that he didn�t take the exercise serious. When you look at his whole delivery, you will wonder if it was an address or a campaign message�.
