Confusion Deepens In Parliament, As Annoh Dompreh Deny Fraud In Motion To Probe Mills’ Death

Embattled Majority Chief Whip, Frank Annoh Dompreh, is refusing to be crowded into a corner over his alleged impersonation of at least two MPs to push for a parliamentary probe into the death of the late President Mills.

Whatsup News has seen excerpts of some WhatsApp chat in which the Nsawam-Adoagyir MP fires counters after he is confronted with a memo by Davis Ansah Opoku, M.P., Mpraeso; and Yves Nii Noi Hanson-Nortey, M.P., for Tema Central, asking that their names be expunged from Annoh-Dompreh’s Motion.

In one line of his counter, he dares the two MPs to “do the needful” if after their claim that they were not consulted before their names were added to the Motion.

“If they are sure of it, they should do the needful…” the MP who is now under accusation of possible criminal impersonation in Parliament, fired back.

This internal fight erupted following revelations last week that Annoh-Dompreh had filed a Motion to probe the July 2012 death of former President John Evans Atta Mills, and in it, Tolon MP, Habib Iddrisu, Mpraeso MP, Davis Opoku Ansah, and Tema Central MP, Yves Hanson Nortey, had been listed as the other Majority MPs supporting it, even though two people on the list denied ever giving their support to the motion.

“Our attention has been drawn to a private member motion inviting the Honorable House to constitute a bi-partisan committee to investigate the circumstances that led to the demise of the late President Mills…Though we are aware of a broader discussion on the motion, we are unaware of any such motion being filed under our instructions and in our names,” Hon. Davis Ansah Opoku, and Hon. Yves Nii Noi Hanson-Nortey denied being sponsors of the motion.

“We, therefore, call on your high office to expunge our names as co-sponsors of the said motion,” the two MPs said in a memo to Majority Group leader, Osei Kyei Mensah Bonsu.

The Minority has since pointed out that the addition of the MPs without their consent amounts to impersonation, indicating they will demand a probe into it.
