The Member of Parliament for Ayawaso West Wuogon Constituency, John Dumelo, has stated that he does not need a siren to assist with his parliamentary duties.
He believes that while sirens can make transportation easier, they are not necessary for him as an MP.
Dumelo mentioned that some of his fellow MPs are in favor of using sirens for transportation, sparking a long-standing debate.
However, he does not agree with this viewpoint.
He specifically disagreed with a statement made by his colleague, Kwame Obeng Asare, also known as A Plus, who expressed a newfound understanding of the necessity for MPs to use sirens.
“I was with him in parliament for orientation, but I just left. A Plus says we need sirens, maybe that’s his opinion, but personally, I don’t think I need a siren.
“I know some people do, and it’s a debate that has been ongoing for some time, but personally, I don’t,” he said in a video shared by EDHUB on X.
Dumelo was elected as an MP in the Ayawaso West Wuogon constituency in the 2024 Parliamentary election under the National Democratic Congress (NDC) party.
A previous attempt to pass a law allowing government officials, including MPs, to use sirens faced heavy public criticism and ultimately failed.
