They have brought party politics into the government \u2026 If you were going to change your mind, then you should do this earlier and why didn\u2019t the party elders talk to them at an earlier time instead of this last minute?\u201d he asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Speaking in an interview on&nbsp;<strong>Joy FM\u2019s Top Story&nbsp;<\/strong>on Wednesday, he said the decision taken by the NPP MPs has also destroyed the credibility of the party.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThey [NPP MPs] have destroyed NPPs credibility, they have separated the supporters, grassroots people of the party from themselves. Now it is very difficult for people to even see anything they say possible.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He added that the Parliamentarian\u2019s action is not a good thing. This, he explained is because the MPs represent the party more than the executives and therefore could have maintained their stance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, Minority Leader, Haruna Iddrisu says his side is disappointed by the sudden U-turn by the Majority Caucus after their earlier threats to boycott the 2023 Budget if it is presented by the embattled Finance Minister, Ken Ofori-Atta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Mr. Iddrisu, they feel betrayed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe feel let down and we feel betrayed by the Majority Caucus who have shown no wit in supporting us with our impeachment process within the letter and spirit of Article 82 of the 1992 constitution. We are not abandoning our censorship motion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe are in it for the long haul and we will insist that the letter and spirit of article 82 are fully respected and an outcome determined by secret vote ultimately after a debate on the Committee\u2019s report is submitted to plenary,\u201d he said at a press conference on Wednesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>SEND A STORY:<\/strong>\u00a0Do you have a story for us or need a promotion \/ advertisement?
