Arrest MPs responsible for vetting chaos – Gyampo to Dampare

Political analyst Professor Ransford Gyampo has called on the Inspector General of Police, Dr. George Akuffo-Dampare, to take swift action and arrest Members of Parliament involved in the destruction of state property during a violent confrontation at the Appointments Committee last Thursday.

The incident occurred during the ministerial vetting on January 30, when some lawmakers vandalised microphones and tables in protest against the Majority caucus’ decision to proceed with the process, despite the Minority’s request to reschedule it from Thursday to Friday.

In an interview with Accra-based TV3, Prof. Gyampo stated that the Majority must not allow the Minority to dictate the proceedings of Parliament.

“I have said that Dampare is on record to have arrested Members of Parliament and government officials for violating traffic rules. And it is not possible for people to destroy public property or state property and for us to sweep it under the carpet.

“So I am saying that we should go to the extent of asking Dampare to arrest those culpable for destroying properties that we used my taxes and your taxes to procure.

“I think that the majority group must be commended for being tolerant, overly tolerant of the minority group. You see, democracy is about majority rule. That tolerance posturing of the majority group is not licentious for minority tyranny and minority wanting to now dictate as to how things should be done.”
