The New Patriotic Party (NPP) MP for Nsawam-Adoagyiri in the Eastern Region, Frank Anor Dompreh, has described as 'unfortunate' a confrontation that occurred on Monday involving the Foreign Minister, Shirley Ayorkor Botchwey.
According to him, Madam Ayorkor Botchwey should have controlled her emotions even though she was provoked.
There were verbal exchanges between Ms Botchwey and North Tongu MP (NDC), Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, in the lobby of parliament. This was after Mr Ablakwa accused the government of allegedly inflating the cost ($12 million) of a six-bedroom residence for Ghana’s new mission in Norway.
Speaking to the issue in an interview on Okay FM's Ade Akye Abia, Tuesday, Mr Anor Dompreh, said: "It was unfortunate what happened…the minister got emotional…we thank God it did not degenerate…I am not trying to justify what happened….I think she should have been more tolerant. We are humans and one way or the other we make mistakes. I am sure the next time she will be much more careful"

Honourable. please check your weight.
MPs should stop peddling lies on the floor of Parliament. Okudzeto Ablawah is establishing himself to be a peddler of untruths in Parliament. He first accused the NPP Government of having purchased a fleet of vehicles in 2017 which turned out not to be true. He in concert with others of like falsely accused a Ministerial nominee of bribing Members of the Appointment Committee of Parliament. In the in famous 'Cash for Seat Saga' he went on to make other allegations which also were found not to be true. Now it is the Oslo purchase. For how long should he be tolerated for he was not voted to be in Parliament to be a peddler of untruth episodes. He is taking undue advantages and damaging the credibility of well meaning citizens. It is about time he is brought to book. OPEN YOUR MOUTH WITHOUT THE STINK.
Violent beget violent. And indiscipline should equally be met with indiscipline. Insults and irresponsible must not be a preserve for only the NDC.
