Members of the minority had earlier through its leader, Haruna Iddrisu, said they will not be able to attend sitting on Saturdays as working overtime amid the Coronavirus scare can weaken their immune system.

The side indeed did not show up for yesterday’s sitting – a decision Defence Minister and Member of Parliament for Bimbilla constituency Dominic Nitiwul labelled as ‘unpatriotic’ and ‘heartless’.

“Mr. Speaker, everywhere around the world, nations are coming together to fight this Coronavirus. People are putting politics aside. In fact, politics can wait. Mr. Speaker, nothing is more important than putting politics aside and fighting Coronavirus which is an invisible enemy. Mr. Speaker for the NDC to boycott Parliament at this time is uncalled for, unpatriotic and a stab on the back of Ghanaians,” he said on the floor of Parliament.

According to Dominic Ntiwul, he is surprised the minority is acting black in a hard time like this as the whole world fight against the deadly coronavirus,

He added that if they do not take actions of the ungodly behaviour of the minority then they have let the whole country down.

“Mr. Speaker, as a house and as a country, if the absence of my colleagues really comes to pass, that this very important national exercise they do not come and they do not make a single comment on this floor then Mr. Speaker, we as a Parliament are letting the nation down,” he said.
