Ministerial Approval: My father would’ve challenged all of us to swear on Antoa – Zanetor

The Member of Parliament (MP) for Klottey-Korle Constituency, Dr Zanetor Agyeman-Rawlings, has said her father, late former President Jerry Rawlings would have challenged all the Minority MPs to swear on Antoa.

“On Friday night, I felt this deep pain that maybe it was perhaps better that he [JJ Rawlings] was not alive to witness what had happened to the NDC!

But then again, I thought perhaps had he been alive he would probably have challenged all of us to go and swear on Antoa or dared us to take a lie-detector test!”

Taking to Facebook, the lawmaker stated any MP who disagreed with a position of the party and leadership should have had the courage of their convictions and speak up.

She noted the Founder is no longer with them, “but we have come too far to destroy our own legacy

“We need to return to the values and principles on which this party was built including honesty, accountability, integrity, discipline and commitment to our nation, Ghana,” she fumed in a Facebook post

Meanwhile, some high-ranking NDC members including former President John Mahama, North Tongu MP, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, General Secretary; Fiifi Kwetey among others have condemned the MPs for betraying the interest of the party and Ghanaians at large.
