Our Moles In NPP Helped Us Get Bagbin Elected As Speaker …Minority Chief Whip

The Minority NDC in Parliament has moles within the Majority NPP, as the NDC reveals that the implants within have already been sticking the dagger in the back of the ruling party.

Minority Leader, Muntaka Mubarak, who is reported by Accra-based Joy News to have spilled the secret, reveals the NPP moles helped get the NDC’s Alban Bagbin elected as Speaker.

“How did we get Speaker elected if we didn’t have someone? It’s not one person. It’s the reason why I became the agent myself,” the Asawase MP is quoted as saying.

To have Bagbin elected, at least one NPP MP voted for him parting from the NPP’s line of voting which was aimed to have their candidate, Prof. Mike Ocquaye, elected again as Speaker.

And since Bagbin assumed the Speakership, the NPP has only complained that he has been a huge pain in their behind.

According to Hon. Muntaka Mubarak, moles are important in parliament’s politics because “You need to know what the others are planning and what they’re trying to do,”

According to him, both sides of the House have infestations of moles from the opposing sides and the moles usually are disgruntled persons within a side.

“When you’re provided leadership, it’s the price of leadership. You cannot appease everybody whether on our side or their side, you cannot.”

Things that stir disgruntlement among members and lead them into becoming moles, he explained, include placement on committees. “I am on the finance committee and people come and before they even get sworn in, people are filling the forms to be on the finance committee. We have only 12 seats on the finance committee and I have 78 people who have completed the forms to be on the finance committee and I have to take only 12, how can I please [everybody]?”

He adds, “And let me tell you, frankly speaking, there are people on both sides who are very nationalistic but the fear of the party whips and the party system is forcing them to stay at bay. So when an opportunity comes for example in a secret ballot, I mean you saw, the shock we had was worse than theirs.”
