A Senior Research Fellow of the Kumasi Technical University, Professor Smart Sarpong, has reacted to the resignation of Majority Leader Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu.
In his submission on the matter during an interaction of Peace FM’s Korkrokoo, Prof Smart noted that the move was timely and laudable considering the fact that the Majority Leader would not return to Parliament after the December 7, 2024, general elections.
“Change is constant. The challenges in leadership of the NPP and NDC in Parliament was expected. Osei Kyei Mensah Bonsu was no longer going to Parliament again,” he said.
“He has chosen right. I mean, he’s leaving the scene when the applause was loudest,” he added.
He, however, raised concern over some grievances expressed by the Majority Leader, which he believes contributed to his resignation, and said that addressing these issues is crucial for maintaining unity and effectiveness within the party.
Additionally, he called on the Majority Leader to chronicle his journey through the many years in Parliament, along with his experiences in the House, in a book.
He contended that the Majority Leader is rich in experience, and Ghana cannot afford to let such a gem retire without tapping into his knowledge and expertise.
