The Member of Parliament (MP) for Nsawan Adoagyiri and Majority Chief Whip, Hon Frank Annor Dompreh is saddened by the decision of some "experienced" NPP MPs to hang their parliamentary boots.

Some Members of Parliament on the ticket of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) have reportedly declared their intention to retire from parliamentary work.

These MPs include Carlos Ahenkorah, Daniel Kwaku Botwe, MP for Okere who doubles as the Minister of Local Government, Rural Development, and Decentralisation, Samuel Atta Akyea, the MP for Abuakwa South in the Eastern region, Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu, MP for Suame.

The rest are Kennedy Ohene Agyapong, MP for Assin Central, Joe Osei Owusu, first deputy Speaker and MP for Bekwai, KT Hammond, Minister of Trade and Industry and MP for Adansi Asokwa, and Francisca Oteng, the MP for Kwabre East.

During an interview with Nana Yaw Kesseh, Annor Dompreh expressed his sadness over the departure of several experienced NPP MPs from Parliament, while the NDC (Minority caucus) MPs remain intact.

"The work we do in Parliament is not easy...it's like a competition and those we're competing with, none of them is leaving but we cannot cry over spilled milk; we need to protect the rest. The signal on the wall is dangerous. If care is not taken, all the experienced MPs will go and it’ll affect the work of Parliament" he said on Peace FM's morning show 'Kokrokoo'

Meanwhile, he has urged NPP members to work hard to support the party's Parliamentary aspirants including the incumbent to win and gain a majority in the House.
