The Vice President, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, has urged MPs on the Majority side of Parliament to constantly equip themselves with the Akufo-Addo administration’s “great success stories and accomplishments” in order to demolish any opposition misinformation and falsehoods.
The Majority Caucus has also been encouraged to improve ties between Parliament and the Executive as the two work together to assist fulfill commitments made to Ghanaians and gain their confidence to continue managing the country.
Dr. Bawumia delivered the advise during a workshop for members of the Majority Caucus and the Executive on Saturday, August 28, 2021, at Mpraeso, Eastern Region.
Vice President Bawumia reminded the MPs that they are an integral part of the Executive and, by extension, the NPP administration’s success or failure depends on them. He urged them to always remember the critical communication role they play and work extra hard to respond appropriately to any attempt to downplay the Akufo-Addo administration’s achievements.
“The propaganda machinery of the NDC will be oiled using their representation in Parliament. Every conceivable government policy or intervention will be furiously attacked. They will question the government’s promises, they will question the government’s achievements and they will question government’s intentions. They will unleash these attacks both on the floor of Parliament and outside the floor.”
“There is no better group to respond to these attacks, to set the records straight and to match them “Boot-for-Charlewote” than the Majority Caucus of Parliament. Fortunately, we have enthusiastic leaders and members of the Majority Caucus and what is needed is the requisite cooperation and exchanges between you and the Executive,” he indicated.
