Former NDC MP for Kumbungu, Ras Mubarak says the resignation of North-Tongu MP, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa from the Appointments Committee of Parliament, is a vote-of-no-confidence in the leadership of Minority Leader, Haruna Iddrisu.

He suggested that the leadership of the Minority in Parliament have performed unsatisfactorily.

In a letter dated March 30, addressed to the Speaker, Alban Kingsford Bagbin, Mr. Ablakwah explained that his decision to resign was “after days of careful reflection and thoughtful considerations’’.

Although it is not clear why Mr Ablakwa is stepping down,  social media users are attributing it to the recent approval of Finance Minister, Ken Ofori-Atta.

But reacting to the resignation, the former NDC legislator described it as courageous and heart-warming. According to him, it was also the only way Mr. Ablakwa can resist some alleged attempts by the leadership of the Minority to impose decisions on him.

‘Sammy Ablakwa’s resignation is a vote-of-no-confidence in the Haruna Iddisu-led Minority in Parliament’, he stressed.

‘I am not surprised. I know that in the Minority, there are men and women of integrity. I’m sure you heard Adongo distance himself from the [approval]. What Ablakwa has done is courageous, he and the other minority MPs’ he added as quoted by myjoyonline.
