Rashid Pelpuo Scolds Bawumia: Ordering Desks Is An Act of "Irresponsibility"

The Member of Parliament for Wa Central, Rashid Pelpuo on Tuesday also rebuked Dr. Bawumia for ordering desks for pupils of the Kperisi Basic School, describing the gesture as irresponsible.

Rashid Pelpuo who is also the Minister of State at the office of the President in-Charge of Private Sector Development and Public Private Partnership said Dr. Bawumia should have demonstrated that he could “put the government on its toes, he should not play to the gallery. He should not pretend that money is in the pocket of politicians and we go around with it and we doll out to people. He did not show a clear example of a good leader.”

“He didn’t also show that he can take government on. The government is represented by the city authorities, the mayor or the chief executives of those areas. So if you go there and you find out that there is something wrong, talk to them, let the journalists follow you, show responsibility, he didn’t show any of that. What he said was that I’m going to get money for you, I’m going to get you 500 furniture is a lot of irresponsibility,” he argued. 

He spoke to Citi FM in Accra.
