The Member of Parliament for North Tongu, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, has bemoaned the dismissive nature of Yaw Osafo Marfo, Senior minister-designate during his vetting Friday.
Osafo Maafo answering a question from the former deputy education minister regarding the Chinese New Techniques Construction Investment Company (CNTCI), the International Finance Corporation loans and the McMillan Text Book printing saga, dismissed the latter as infantile stating that: “I think you were too young at the time to read the matter.”
He had since withdrawn the statement and apologized at the behest of the Chairman of the Appointments Committee, Joe Osei Owusu.
“I withdraw that statement with apology,” he said.
But speaking Monday on Radio Gold, the North Tongu lawmaker berated the senior minister-designate for his show of arrogance at his vetting.
He said the former finance minister’s entire attitude during the vetting was wrong.
“Honourable Osafo Maafo clearly if you look at how cheeky he was at times and how he sought to be just flippant, be abrasive and dismissive…clearly that kind of approach doesn’t help,” he said.
He continued that Ghanaians expect their functionaries to be “very humble, down to earth and I don’t think that the Honourable Osafo Maafo cut that fit in the way he conducted himself when he appeared before us.”

your disrespectfulness very bad
I really do not get the point these babies with Dracula teeth are trying to achieve at the vetting. Repeating questions with rude and arrogant tones. Beginning to think they don't understand most of the issues. anaa ibi the ble?
When did you learn that Ablakwa? You should have shown that respect when we came to your office when you were then the deputer minister. You should not expect this from anybody
WHEN BABY WITH SHARP TEETH ASK CHEEKY QUESTION, INTELLIGENT PERSON LIKE OSAFO MARFO WILL ANSWER HIM WITH CHEEKY ANSWER.IF NOT POLITICS WHO BORN DOG EVEN TO GET CLOSER TO THIS SMART MAN.
ofosu is now quiet. just wait and see how we will make you unemployed by 2021 when you loose your seat in parliament.
...So next time ask questions what seeks to benefit the nation as a whole.
These boys are still not learning about how to talk and address the elderly. Why are you asking questions based on rumors? You were rightly answered since there was a Press Conference when the scandal broke out but you refused to read that is why you got that answer. learn to comport yourself.There will be a time when nobody will recognise you when you pass by.
Hon Osafo Marfo did the honourable thing by apologizing. That should end the matter.
MR. OSAFO MARFO DID IT JUST RIGHT. SMALL BOY GETTING TO THE THROAT OF EVERYBODY BECAUSE HE WAS A DEPUTY MINISTER. MAYBE HE THOUGHT HE IS STILL IN HIS OFFICE AS A DEPUTY MINISTER. HECKLING WAS THE TACTICS AND IT KEEPS YOU SILENT.
Eiii!!! do u really think Mr. Ablakwa's face is more bloated than that of your president's, master commot for there?
