The Minority in Parliament has given the Director of Communications at the Presidency, Koku Anyidoho up to tomorrow, December 18, to render a public apology to the Minority Chief whip Fred Opare Ansah or face the consequences.

Mr Anyidoho described Hon Opare Ansah and the Minority Leader Osei Kyei Mensah Bonsu as “irresponsible” people in an interview with Citi fm a couple of weeks ago on the Citi Eyewitness News.

He came under heavy criticism after his comments. Mr Anyidoho made those comments in reaction to calls by the Minority that President John Mills comes out with names of some persons whom economist Kwame Pianim had claimed attempted influencing President Mills with envelopes.

Mr Anyidoho found the call misplaced and went to town on the Minority, particularly Hon Fred Opare Ansah.

The Minority Chief whip nearly made a statement on the issue on the floor of Parliament today, December 17 but Citi news sources in the House say he was asked to hold on to it by the Minority leader until tomorrow, Friday December 17.

This is to accord Mr Anyidoho some more time to render a public apology. Failing to do so, Mr Opare Ansah and the Minority are likely to ask Parliament to drag him before the privileges committee of the House.
