The Member of Parliament for the Wa West Constituency, Hon. Peter Lanchene Toobu, has said that it’s about time parliamentarians get serious and focus on building a better Ghana than trading fists in parliament.
Speaking in an interview with Samuel Eshun on the Happy Morning Show, Hon. Peter Lanchene Toobu made this assertion.
“This is the first time we are seeing a hung parliament and noticing that numbers do not really matter. Now what matters is a skill. Leadership skills that will see us build consensus and drive the national agenda,” he shared.
To him, the bullying experienced in previous parliaments on account of one party having the numbers over the other has become useless now. “If you believe using numbers to bully your way through votes and other issues, which was the experience till now, know it has become useless because you now need skills to bring all parties on board and build consensus.”
Hon. Peter Lanchene Toobu again blamed events of the last day of Parliament where parliamentarians traded blows on their being used to the bullying system. “If you don’t have the skills, you become brutish, and then you will see parliamentarians trading blows.”
