Minority Leader's Comment Sparks Reactions in Parliament.
Accra, Ghana—Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin caused a stir in Parliament when he made a remark about NDC MPs who want posts in John Dramani Mahama's government.
NDC members often heckle when Afenyo-Markin speaks in Parliament. He said, "If you think you can be making noise, your government business will be delayed. Those who make noise have not been nominated yet. Those who don't make noise have been nominated."
Some MPs took the statement as a joke. Others saw it as a sharp criticism of their behavior.
Afenyo-Markin said parliamentary business should be orderly. He noted that progress needs discipline and cooperation.
"The approach is not the best," he remarked. He urged MPs to focus on government matters instead of interrupting.
