The Member of of Asante Akyem North, Ohene Kwame Frimpong, has condemned remarks made by former Minister of Information, Fatimatu Abubakar, regarding the English proficiency of some (NDC) MPs.
In an interview on GHOne TV, and monitored by GhanaWeb, on Monday, February 24, 2025, he explained that the ability to speak English fluently should not be a measure of one's competence in parliamentary proceedings. "I don't think that it was the best for the former minister to say that.
We all go through certain processes to become members of , and we know that English is used in almost all of these processes.
But if you are saying that someone cannot express themselves because they cannot speak English properly, I think that is very unfortunate," he said.
