The Coalition for Youth Development in Okyeman has officially petitioned the Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin, over alleged “derogatory” remarks towards the late Dr. Joseph Boakye Danquah, a key figure in Ghana’s independence struggle.
According to the group, Tamale Central MP, Murtala Mohammed, allegedly referred to Dr. J.B. Danquah as a “traitor” and a “CIA operative” during parliamentary proceedings on February 4, 2025. They argued that such comments are not only offensive but also disrespectful to the legacy of a man who played a pivotal role in shaping Ghana’s history.
In their petition, the group’s convenor, Akomaning Yeboah, urged the Speaker to take immediate action by compelling the MP to retract his statement and issue a formal apology on the floor of Parliament.
Additionally, they are demanding that the remarks be expunged from the official parliamentary records, emphasizing that such historical misrepresentations undermine national unity and dishonor the memory of Dr. Danquah.
Receiving the petition, the Clerk to Parliament, Ebenezer Djietror, assured that the appropriate action would be taken by the Speaker in due course.
