Member of Parliament for Builsa South, Dr. Clement Apaak, is displeased with some of his National Democratic Congress (NDC) colleagues who defied explicit party orders and voted massively for six new ministers appointed by President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.
He prayed for those who, he claimed, betrayed the party and made the NDC and the Minority look bad.
He made the remarks on Facebook.
“Dear Traitor, I pray you are found out and publicly shamed, but your conscience will forever haunt you even if you are not found out. The pain and agony your treachery has caused millions of party supporters and Ghanaians is upon your head. You will pay for the tears and sorrow of all those you have betrayed. You will pay for the insults, name-calling, and false accusations your treachery has brought upon innocent colleagues,” Dr. Apaak posted on his Facebook page.
Following the President’s appointment of six new ministers and their subsequent vetting, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) had previously asked all of its MPs not to support the nominees’ approval.
The position was to force President Akufo-Addo to reduce the size of his government significantly.
However, after a secret vote on March 24, all of the nominees were approved by large margins.
According to the results of Friday’s vote, several members of the Minority voted in favour of the ministerial nominees’ approval.
Some NDC members have slammed the Minority MPs for endorsing the new ministers.
