Likpalimor Kwajo Tawiah and the former Ayawaso North MP Dr. Mustapha Ahmed, MP for Asawase Mohammed Muntaka Mubarak charged MPs to avoid needless partisanship and build partnerships from the other side of the aisle to serve as security for tomorrow.

According to the former Minority Chief Whip, nobody cares about MPs once they leave office wondering why the state cannot cater for lawmakers after their service to the nation

First Deputy Speaker Joseph Osei-Owusu on his part further warned MPs they are only relevant to their constituents for as long as they are in office and thus must build buffers.
