NDC can't use ‘independent-minded’ Bagbin for any ‘parochial agenda’ – E.T Mensa
Member of the Council of State and former Member
of Parliament for Ningo Prampram E.T Mensah has
given a strong indication that the Speaker of
Parliament Alban Sumana Bagbin will play to the
ball of the NDC and John Dramani Mahama to
undermine the Akufo-Addo led government.

After the election of Alban Bagbin into the
Speaker of Parliament position, members of the
National Democratic Congress (NDC) were optimistic
that the Speaker will represent their interest and
push their agenda in the lawmaking house.

But speaking in an interview with Accra-based Citi
TV watched by MyNewsGh.com, E.T Mensah indicated
that it doesn’t make sense for anyone to think
Alban Bagbin can be used to push someone’s
parochial agenda.

“It doesn’t make sense. The Alban Bagbin that
I know is an independent thinker, we see on the
same big page. There’s no evidence that NDC
people pushed him. They know his pedigree…These
are people I know, I know Cletus very well, I know
Alban Bagbin very well and they are independent
thinkers. Whenever we were going to take a
decision, we will debate and debate as if we were
opposing parties there until we arrive at the
right decision. There is no way anybody can use
Bagbin, nobody,” he told Citi TV in an interview
restreamed by MyNewsGh.com.

On his membership of the National Democratic
Congress (NDC) E.T Mensah indicated that he is
still a member of the NDC and holds himself in
high esteem as a founding member of the political
party which is currently the largest opposition
party.
