Treatment Meted Out to Members of Parliament by Police, Electoral Commission Embarrassing


Samed Akalilu 

Accra, 23rd December, 2020 Respect My Vote Movement condemns in no uncertain terms the disgusting and contemptuous treatment meted to Honourable Members of Parliament who marched to the offices of the Electoral Commission on Tuesday 22nd December 2020.




Videos of the incidents that went viral show how overzealous police officers tried to prevent Members of Parliament from presenting their petition to the Electoral Commission.



Electoral Commission officials also failed to come out and receive the petition from the Honourable Members of Parliament citing short notice.

We are urging the leadership of the minority in parliament to institute a human rights action against the police officers including the officers who supervised yesterday’s unprofessional conduct on the part of the police and ensure that the culprits are brought to book.

The IGP must also be hauled before Parliament to answer questions on yesterday’s harassment of members of Parliament.

We are calling on Jean Mensa to publicly apologize to the members for the disrespect shown them yesterday.

In the absence of that minority MPs must ensure that they reject any Constitutional Instrument brought to Parliament by the Electoral Commission. We further urge the MPs to reject budgetary allocations to the Electoral Commission.

The arrogance of Jean Mensa and the leadership of the EC is out of hand and must be met with commensurate measure.

Hon. Ramadan Supports 50 Needy Tertiary Students

Image
The Member of Parliament for the Adentan Constituency, Hon. Mohammed Adamu Ramadan, has given financial support to over fifty needy tertiary students in his constituency. The source of funding is the MP's Common Fund. The MP's office however declined to make available a list of the beneficiaries to Adenta News insisting that the list was a confidential document.  Adenta News is reliably informed that the MP for Adentan has also undertaken several projects to improve upon the standard of education in the Adentan Constituency. In October last year for instance, he donated a laptop to a student of DeYoungster's School who was a second runner up in the Citi fm's "Literacy Challenge".  Shortly after he took over from the NPP's Buaben Asamoa, Hon. Ramadan donated stationery worth ¢10,000 to the Adentan GES office to be distributed to schools in the municipality (My first day at school). The MP for Adentan is a shining example to the youth. His selfless service

Life is not fair,get used to it and move on

My good friend Kojo Akyina lost his life in what appears to be a ritual murder. His manhood was cut off and he was left to bleed to death in a suburb of Kumasi. When we were growing up, Akyina being a talented footballer wanted to play at the highest level until he met his untimely death. Two years now his murderers have not been found. If ever they were pursued in the first place. What a world?  My nephew of almost the same age who was my childhood friend died a couple of years ago after a short illness. Pappa, left a wife and four little kids and he didn't witness his 40th birthday. The news of his death was broken to me at dawn. It was so shocking to me to the extent that after two years of his demise, I put my phone on silent every night when I am about to go to bed. Life!  When I was a child I wanted to be a medical doctor when I grew up. I am not a medical doctor now and I don't even know what I want to become. Behind the  sweet smiles of men, there is a bitter sadness wo
