Member of Parliament for Gushegu, Alhassan Tampuli has explained the reason why the Minority wore black attire to Parliament for President John Dramani Mahama's State of the Nation Address (SONA) on Thursday, February 27.

He says the action was in solidarity with the Ghanaians who were unjustifiably sacked by the Mahama administration. "The Minority's black outfit in parliament today is in solidarity with the many Ghanaian employees who have been unjustifiably dismissed by the NDC Mahama government.

The Ghanaian youth deserve better," he wrote on Facebook.

During proceedings in Parliament, the Minority Leader, Alexander Afenyo-Markin, told President John Dramani Mahama that at the time that he is complaining about rising youth unemployment, his administration, in less than one hundred days, has sacked a lot of youth who were employed by the previous administration.
