Member of Parliament (MP) for Tema East, Daniel Kwartei Titus-Glover, has sent a strong message to the Speaker of Parliament, Professor Mike Oquaye, following the murder of Mfantseman MP, Ekow Kwansah Hayford, on Friday.
Speaking on Adom FM’s morning show Dwaso Nsem Monday, Mr Titus-Glover said Professor Oquaye must ensure that the 275 lawmakers of Ghana’s parliament are given personal bodyguards.
“It is sad that MPs are not treated well as far as our security is concerned. The way we try to vilify and disgrace MPs is not fair at all. Tomorrow the Interior Minister will be summoned to speak on the issue.
“I want to send a message to the Speaker of Parliament to ensure that all 275 MPs are protected. From now to the December elections, Mike Oquaye should ensure that all MPs get security protection, else we will all die,” he said.
