Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu: NDC members behind Suame protest against me

The MP for Suame, Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu is accusing members of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) of inciting artisans and spare parts dealers at Suame Magazine to hoot at him on Monday.

Speaking on The Asaase Breakfast Show on Tuesday (19 July), Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu said despite his suspicions, the concerns of the artisans are legitimate and will be addressed.

“There is an NDC group behind the post office area and I believe that the third group that came, we met and they said they were not prepared to listen to any government official and that the NPP has disappointed them and so on. I think that group was led by our opponent,” the veteran MP said.
