Member of Parliament for Kumbungu, Ras Mubarak, has described as ‘disgraceful’ if reports suggesting Ghana’s Speaker of Parliament Professor Aaron Mike Oquaye has taken a stance on the Israeli-Palestinian crisis are true.
The international media have reported that parliamentary leaders from Ghana and Tanzania visiting Israel to celebrate their collaboration as part of the “Power Africa” initiative expressed support for America’s move to recognise Jerusalem as Israel’s capital city.
Speaker of the National Assembly of Tanzania, Job Ndugai, is reported to have said in an interview that: “It is a very commendable decision to move the American embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. I believe it will be followed suit by several African countries, Tanzania included, to move said quarters from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, because we believe where the parliament is -- I am a speaker of parliament -- then the government should be there and embassies should be there too.”
When asked about the recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, the speaker of Ghana's parliament Prof Oquaye is reported to have said “whatever Israel wants, we in Ghana will go by that, because that is essentially an internal decision.”
Reacting to the speaker’s reported comment, the Kumbugu lawmaker posted on Facebook: “I hope the Speaker didn’t say what he’s been reported to have said but if the report is accurate, I would say it’s simply disgraceful. Speaker of Parliament cannot be commenting on government’s foreign policy. He’s not a member of the Executive. Not only would such comments be prejudicial but a complete departure from Ghana’s position on the Israeli Palestinian issue.”

see this ***barred word*** usele55 mp. what has Jerusalem being the capital got to do with you. After chopping the nations money and still walking as a free man see the nonsen5e you are saying. Jerusalem is the capital..Bamm
The issue of Jerusalem have always been a TORNY issue for the US since the US and Us created Israel in 1948 ; the fact of the matter is that; the current occupants who call themselves 'Jewish people are not the real Jews ; most of them are Askanashi Jews from Europe ; the roots of the ancestors have long been exterminated centuries ago ; the present so called Jews including the present Pm is an European Askanasni besides their claim to the land is that GOD in a covenant gave it to them but then the question is who is this God and were not people there when they migrated to that ; The Us has a Quadgmire with Israel and do not no what to do ; they know their decision is WRONG and that the Isrealis want to takec over Palestine and impose apartheid ; but they should not forget that history has way of taming the wild BOER !!!.
Mr Oquaye was expressing an opinion.He was not in Israel as a representative of the government. And in any case what was wrong with what he said? For me this act by Trump is so far the most useful thing he has done as president of the USA. Why are we always pussyfooting when it comes to issues of the Palestinians? Of what use are these people to us?They have for many years nicked Israel with a pin only to have a sledge -hammer used on them.Russia has murdered thousands pf Syrians and nobody has done anything about it. Assad has gassed his own countrymen with sarin gas and nobody has done anything about it.We are tired of this Palestinian issue.Let them deal with it. If we have problems here can you expect help from the Palestinians?As for this runt masquerading as an MP I advise he keeps his trap s-h-u t.
Please leave that ignoramus so called MP. Real hypocrite.
This arrogant bitch Ras Mubarak should go and burn the sea.Jerusalem is Israel's CAPITAL.
All those condemning Speaker Ocquaye are all hypocrites. Recognizing Jerusalem as Israel's capital by any country is really Israel's internal problem. Are all Muslims Palestinians? When Boko Haram (a Muslim group) killed over 40 muslims in a mosque, did Ras Mubarak say anything? When al Shabab of Somalia killed over 200 muslims recently did any one ask why? If you claim to be supporting the cause of Palestine because of Muslims, why don't you express same level of support to other muslims who are being killed by fellow muslims all over the world. These muslims must go back to the garden of Eden and stay with the serpent and leave us alone.
Ras Mubarak komot for there. look at his face. You are a terrorist. speaker said is truth. go burn the sea. nana wont sack him. komot for there.
Mr MP your master said di WO fie asem. Why worry about Jerusalem when your village people are sharing water with cattle and other animals
Typo error. Her should be his personal opinion. Sorry about that.
What's disgraceful about that comment? Doesn't he have the right to express her personal opinion? Is the opinion you're expressing now your personal one or you're stating it on behalf of your Muslim community in Ghana, com on!! Whether you like it or not, President Trump is doing the right thing. It's the will of God, and no one can do anything about it. He's just fulfilling biblical prophesy. So if Mr Ocquaye had condemned President Trump on that move, were you going to stand on the roof top to condemn him? Stop crying and get life, Mr MP.
