Despite attempts by the Privileges Committee of Parliament to haul Charles Kofi Wayo, the founder and leader of the United Renaissance Party (URP), for his alleged unsavory comments about members of the national assembly, he has remained adamant and poured out more invectives on the Majority Leader and Member of Parliament for Suame Constituency, Osei-Kyei Mensah-Bonsu.
According to the maverick politician, a character like Osei-Kyei Mensah-Bonsu poses a huge threat to the survival and stability of Ghana’s infant democracy and therefore should be “ostracised” from the august house before he causes further harm to the genuine once.
“Kyei-Mensah Bonsu is nothing but a common lunatic himself. If he respects himself and knows what he was about he could not have reduced his position to that level perhaps his status of mind ought to be examined.
…If he was civilized and have command over the English language he would not have said what he said”, Mr Wayo furiously stated on Adom Fm, an Accra-based radio station last Monday.
Mr Kofi Wayo’s statement was in reaction to an earlier assertion by the former that he (Kofi Wayo) ‘belongs to the fringes of lunatics in society” and therefore should be hauled before the Privileges Committee of the House to face appropriate sanction for his alleged unsavory remarks about the MPs.
The URP leader is reported to have described members of the Ghanaian legislature as “criminals and self-centered politicians” who are interested in their welfare rather than helping to improve upon the living standards of the masses.
Mr Kofi Wayo, however, insisted that he will better languish in jail than apologize to the MPs, who in his estimation, are nothing, but nation wreckers.
“I will not render any apology to anybody whoever thinks I do not have the right to express my opinion; they can go to hell. I will rather love to be in jail than apologize,” he maintained stressing that he will not allow himself to be intimidated by anybody as far as Ghana’s Constitution gives him the right to do so.
Continuing, he dared the MPs to go ahead with whatever they plan to do if they really want to see what he is capable of doing.
“If they really want to see the other side of me they should attempt anything and they will see what will happen in this country. Nobody gags anybody in this country as far as I am concerned.
…They should be there and be eating and be driving in luxurious cars instead of them improving upon the conditions of their constituents.
In his opinion, it is about time Ghanaians rose up against what he described as the “rotten behaviours” of some of the MPs who are nothing but a “bunch of criminals.”
He averred that he is in possession of documents that, if he is forced to come out, would implicate a lot of the MPs of dubious deals.
“If they push me to the wall I will be compelled to come out with some incriminating documents about some of them for the whole world to know the type of people they have entrusted their future in.
… If they think they can intimidate anybody at all then they should go back and revise their notes, some of us are very serious minded and would not in anyway say what we do not know or have no evidence. And if they do not understand they can go to hell”, the leader of the “limping URP” noted.
