Minority Leader in Parliament, Mr Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu on Monday asked President Mills to go back to South Africa if that would help the Black Stars win against Uruguay on Friday. The Minority Leader was on Friday June 25, 2010 "mad" at President Mills' trip to South Africa with late notice to Parliament. But following suggestions that the president's presence spurred on the Black Stars to beat their American counterparts, Mr. Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu on the floor of Parliament on Monday said the president get onto the next plane and fly back to South Africa. He was contributing to a statement issued by Mr Rashid Pelpuo, Deputy Majority Leader, congratulating the Black Stars for defeating the U.S.A 2-1 at the ongoing 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa. The Minority Leader said "it is very painful that all African teams were ousted at the groups level, which left the Stars with the burden of taking up the cause of Africa." Mr. Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu explained that the Minority in Parliament was only worried about events leading to the President leaving the country without communicating to Parliament on time but added that if it was his presence that motivated the Stars to win the match, he should go again. The Minority Leader noted that the Black Stars displayed diligence, resilience and commitment but it was their tactical disposition that was the concern of all. After commenting on the statement, the Members of Parliament waited for the Minister of Defence who, Mr Rashid Pelpuo said was on his way to answer questions posed by some members of the House. Mr Doe Adjaho, First Deputy Speaker, who sat in for the Speaker enquired from Mr. Pelpuo whether the Minister was in the House. Mr Pelpuo said "In fact, I do not know what to say again because I was told the Minister was on his way, I have asked my Chief Whip to track him on his phone to know his where about." The Minority Leader said "The Minister can't put up this behaviour, he must appear before the House at the appropriate time to answer questions and he should explain to the house why he was not present to answer the questions."
