He further said that “To the Honourable Minority Whip [Frank Annoh-Dompreh], I am pleading with you that, because she is a woman, and you know Ghanaian society and our patriarchal values, forgive her.”

Also commenting on this matter also on the floor, MP for Ada Comfort Doyoe Cudjoe-Ghansah, said “We should just leave this case so that, as a women’s caucus, we can invite her and advise her appropriately.”
