Hand Sanitizers placed at Parliament to prevent coronavirus stolen

NPP Majority leader and Minister for Parliamentary Affairs, Honourable Osei Kyei Mensah Bonsu has fumed over missing sanitisers that were placed at parliament.

Honourable Osei Kyei Mensah could not fathom how some individuals manage to steal hand sanitisers distributed in the House.

The unscrupulous actions come after Sanitiser stands were mounted across the House last week as part of measures to protect Members of Parliament from the Coronavirus.

The Majority leader called for the activation of CCTV cameras since he is optimistic those engaged in these acts would be found and dealt with as soon as possible.

Speaking on the floor, the Majority Leader said some of the sanitizer stands became empty about an hour after they are filled which he says is unacceptable.

“What we are beginning to notice is that a few individuals are draining the sanitizers and taking them away, which is very serious. We need to activate the CCTVs so anybody who is caught in this is not only named and shamed, but appropriate sanctions will be applied to that person,” he told the House as other MPs laughed in the background.

“It cannot be that sanitizers are placed at vantage positions and overnight, everything is gone. Even whilst members are sitting, you step out, where you saw a sanitizer where it was almost full, then everything is gone. It cannot happen,”

the Majority Leader added.

“So I am asking the marshals department and the clerk to activate the CCTV cameras. Anybody who is caught in such an act will be sanctioned,”

” he concluded.
