The Concerned Farmers Association of Ghana (CFA-Ghana) has issued a sharp rebuke to Members of Parliament following the disorderly proceedings witnessed on Tuesday, December 9, 2025.
The Association expressed profound shock and disappointment regarding the conduct in Parliament, noting that an entire day was consumed by debate over a single contested seat, while pressing, critical issues threatening the nation’s economic backbone—specifically the cocoa sector—remain alarmingly unaddressed.
Speaking in an interview on Nyankonton Mu Nsem on Rainbow Radio 87.5FM, Farmer General Nana Oboadie Boateng Bonsu II, President of the Concerned Farmers Association of Ghana, described the incident as a grave insult to the people of Ghana who elected them, to the members themselves, and to the Office of the Speaker.
An evidently infuriated Nana Oboadie Boateng Bonsu II suggested that only individuals lacking proper judgement would engage in such behaviour, and he subsequently demanded a formal apology to the Speaker and the Ghanaian populace.
He asserted that the mandate of Members of Parliament is not to serve the interests of their political parties or pursue personal agendas, but rather to represent the sovereign people of Ghana who entrusted them with their votes.
The President highlighted that the country is currently grappling with the severe threat of Galamsey (illegal mining), which has not only encroached upon fertile agricultural lands but is also devastating national forests and contaminating vital water bodies. He argued that despite this environmental and economic crisis, the MPs chose to create chaos and conflict instead of dedicating their time to these far more important national matters.
”The conduct of the MPs was utterly regrettable. We are facing severe crises in Ghana. We have undocumented foreigners creating potential security risks, and our hospitals are critically lacking vital equipment to attend to citizens. Yet, our Members of Parliament show no interest in these substantive issues, choosing instead to focus on needless debates and disruptive altercations. We have no further need for MPs who lack a sense of patriotism. The era where lawyers and doctors use their credentials to deceive and intimidate us for votes is over. We are therefore strongly advising them to reform their conduct, or we will ensure the mobilisation of Ghanaians to vote decisively against them in the next general elections.”
He further challenged the priorities of the elected representatives, posing the fundamental question: “What kind of leaders have we elected into office if serious matters concerning the state are not considered their primary business?” He added that the conspicuous silence on these pressing issues leads many Ghanaians to believe that controversial statements, such as those previously attributed to PC Appiah Ofori, hold a painful element of truth.
”We no longer want individuals lacking mental stability to represent us in Parliament. We currently have persons parading as MPs in the House, but in 2028, we will ensure that we no longer vote for such individuals. This is not about the NDC or the NPP. It is about Ghana. We need disciplined and committed personalities who will truly represent our collective interests as a people.”
