Rockson-Nelson Dafeamekpor, the Member of Parliament (MP) for South Dayi, has refuted claims that National Democratic Congress (NDC) MPs are lobbying for appointments at the Flagstaff House as reported by Ghana Web.
Dafeamekpor made this statement on Thursday, March 13, 2025, in response to accusations from the New Patriotic Party (NPP) that NDC MPs were neglecting their parliamentary duties in pursuit of positions.
He insisted that NDC lawmakers remain committed to their legislative responsibilities and fully participate in parliamentary business.
“We are not ceremonial attendees to parliamentary proceedings; we attend to conduct business,” he asserted, dismissing suggestions that his colleagues were absent because they were chasing appointments.
Addressing concerns about the delay in appointing four additional Ministers of State, Dafeamekpor clarified that the responsibility for such decisions lies solely with President John Mahama.
He assured that the President would make the appointments at the appropriate time without any external interference.
He also rejected claims that Mahama’s administration had only appointed ten percent women, labeling the assertion as inaccurate.
Dafeamekpor concluded by urging his colleagues to focus on parliamentary duties and set the record straight on the commitment of NDC MPs to their work in the House.
