Independent Member of Parliament for the Gomoa Central Constituency, Honourable Kwame Asare Obeng, popularly known as Kwame A-plus, has responded to claims by the Minority Caucus in Parliament that Mahama’s State of the Nation’s Address was full of lamentations.
The Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin told President John Dramani Mahama to fix the challenges and stop the lamentations.
Afenyo-Markin noted that President Mahama’s 2025 State of the Nation Address, delivered in Parliament on Thursday, February 27, was full of limitations.
“The president came to this house with the familiar story, the usual lamentations. s. He packaged it in a language as though we have a new beginning. Mr Speaker, if the president has any ci derns his duty is to fix it,” he said on the floor after President Mahama’s address.
Reacting to this assertion during the debate on SONA, Kwame Asare Obeng said even if President John Dramani Mahama came to lament, he only continued the lamentations of Ghanaians who were fed up with the economic difficulties under the previous administration.
He pointed out that even New Patriotic Party Members of Parliament under the previous administration were compelled by the unfavourable economic conditions to call on Nana Akufo Addo to fire Ken Ofori-Atta, stressing that the lamentations did not start with President John Dramani Mahama.
‘Even if President Mahama came to lament, he only came to continue the lamentations of the previous government, where we have their own MPs in this chamber organising a press conference to call on the [former] President to sack the Finance Minister because of the state of the state of the nation they were in and what they envisaged,” he said.
