Kwame Baffoe, also known as Abronye DC, who is the Bono regional chairman for the New Patriotic Party (NPP) has stated that his interpretation of Ghana’s 1992 constitution does not depict Members of Parliament as development agents.

Abronye remarked that there is a perception that Members of Parliament are development agents, which he believes Ghanaians should reject because the government is the agent of development, and how can the country benefit from progress if MPs are constantly opposing its policies?

According to him, it’s high time Ghanaians focus on bringing in individuals who will support the country’s development rather than throwing out people who come into the house because of their wages and allowances.

Speaking in an interview with Accra FM he said: “In the 1992 constitution, there is nowhere that states that MPs are development agents. Article 93 says MPs make laws and approve government policies to bring development to the people.

So any Member of Parliament who will oppose policies of the government is denying the people who voted them into power the needed development. The person is not working against the government but rather the people who voted him into power.”

He went on to say that, MPs who oppose the government’s policies and programmes but always draw their salaries of GHC 30,000 and also take allowances from committee levels are selfish people who need to be shown the exit. The people should of these and boot them out.
