Shippers Authority CEO urges IGP to arrest MPs for destroying state property

Acting Chief Executive Officer of the Shippers Authority, Prof. Ransford Gyampo, has urged the Inspector General of Police, George Akuffo Dampare PhD to arrest all members of parliament who destroyed state property.

According to him, the IGP has in the past arrested recalcitrant members of parliament for breaking traffic laws.

In a post shared via social media, Prof Gyampo said “Dear IGP Dampare, you have arrested Government Officials and MPs for traffic offenses before. Ghanaians demand that every member of Parliament who destroyed State Property is arrested and dealt with according to law”.

Background

Chaos erupted in Parliament after the minority in Parliament decided to end the day after vetting the transport minister.

To them, the vetting of Okudzeto Ablakwa and Kwabena Mintah Akandoh should be postponed to January 31 because they are tired.

However, the majority insisted that they would continue with the vetting.

The minority, who were not happy with the decision, started mounting their chairs on the table in the hall where the vetting was taking place.

Infuriated by that, the majority fought back. The fight led to the destruction of microphones among others.

It took the intervention of the majority leader, Mahama Ayariga, to calm tempers, after which he addressed the media, saying “It is clear from the level of destruction that the vetting cannot continue. All the microphones have been destroyed. That will make it impossible for the media to carry what the nominees say to Ghanaians. Vetting is about assessing the competence of the nominees. The vetting will therefore have to be postponed to tomorrow. We will get a new venue for the vetting,” he stated.
