Former Works and Housing Minister, Samuel Atta Akyea
Akim Abuakwa South legislator Samuel Atta Akyea voiced his opposition to the idea that MPs should be forced to vacate their seats simply because they express future political intentions.
In a passionate discussion on Joy News’ PM Express on Tuesday, October 16, he stressed that MPs should not be treated as “robots” incapable of changing their minds or contemplating their future political paths.
Atta Akyea’s comments followed discussions in Parliament surrounding some MPs who have declared their intention to contest as independent candidates in the upcoming 2024 parliamentary elections.
