Member of Parliament of Sefwi Wiaso Hon Kwaku Afriyie has asked Sam George to end the threats of preventing the Deputy Speaker of Parliament from voting to form a quorum.

According to him, he is a vandal and has been engaged in a lot of vandalism during his youth and will therefore meet him boot for boot if he tries anything funny.

“My nephew Sam George should be careful with what he is saying because if he tries anything funny,he will come and meet Kwaku Afriyie’s son called Dr Afriyie in Parliament. I hate threats and I represent the people of Sefwi Wiaso, Joe Wise also represents the people of Bekwai and they all need a voice.

“The spirit of the Constitution is clear and when you read it spells out that the Deputy Speaker of Parliament can vote. It’s not only about the law but also about commonsense,” he said on Accra-OKAY FM.

“It will be absurd that when we are in Parliament and all the Speakers are not available and I’m presiding over the sitting and I cannot vote because I’m acting as a speaker. So you want to say If we are talking about cocoa in Sefwi and I’m presiding over the sitting I cannot vote or say anything about cocoa in Sefwi and am presiding over the sitting I cannot vote or say anything about it ?

“Sam George can’t come and threaten me, I’m an
elderly person but the threats he’s issuing are
nothing. I was in Commonwealth Hall. I am a vandal
you can ask Seidu Adamu and others what l’m
made of and the kinds of things I did at the
Commonwealth Hall before coming here.
“We have done things but as you grow, you start to
do away with certain things. Recently, I used to
admire him because he mellowed a lot so he should
stop the threats,” he added.
