2023 Budget: Stay in Qatar after the World Cup – Dr Otchere-Ankrah tells NPP MPs - www.asempanews.com

Speaking in a Peace FM interview monitored by GhanaWeb, Dr Otchere-Ankrah said that the actions of the said MPs show that they lack a sense of priority and respect for the people who put them in power.

“A lot of them have gone to Qatar – taking selfies and all that

If Qatar is more important than the budget, stay there after the World Cup has ended,” he said in Twi.

The lecturer also said that it would be totally out of place if the MPs were sponsored by the government to attend the World Cup.

Though no official reason was given for the mass absence of the majority members, GhanaWeb checks show that some of the majority Members of Parliament (MPs) were out of the jurisdiction.

Minister of Communications and Digitalisation, who doubles as the Member of Parliament for Ablekuma West Constituency, Ursula Owusu-Ekuful, was also spotted in Qatar, according to social media posts.

Matthew Opoku Prempeh is also in Qatar cheering on the Black Stars.
