Ghanaian Parliament Erupts: MP Adongo Condemns Minority's U-turn on Wontumi Protest A heated exchange erupted in Ghana's Parliament today, as Member of Parliament Isaac Adongo, representing Bolgatanga Central, sharply criticized the Minority for abandoning their protest outside the Economic and Organized Crime Office (EOCO). The protest was in response to the detention of Chairman Wontumi. The Minority's abrupt return to parliamentary business sparked outrage from Adongo, who accused them of a dramatic U-turn and a betrayal of their colleague. "I think Wontumi will be very very sad that you are here talking," Adongo stated during his impassioned speech. He further accused the Minority of prioritizing parliamentary business over their commitment to Chairman Wontumi's case. The video shows Adongo pacing and gesturing emphatically as he addressed the chamber. The incident highlights the intense political climate in Ghana and the divisions within the Parliament. Adongo's words and the visible reactions of other parliamentarians underscore the significance of the event and the strong feelings it evoked. The swift change in the Minority's strategy raises questions about their priorities and the political calculations behind their decision. While the situation remains tense, the incident serves as a reminder of the complexities and high stakes involved in Ghanaian politics.
