• Netizens who saw the video were unhappy with Ralph St Williams and criticised him in the comments section for his approach

Drama unfolded at the forecourt of Parliament when popular NDC activist Ralph St Williams confronted New Patriotic Party (NPP) MP Stephen Amoah.

Amoah, who represents the people of Nhiayeso as an MP, arrived to witness the 2025 Budget reading when the Ghanaian activist approached him sternly.

Ralph took out his phone to record the MP and started confronting him over issues in his constituency.

According to Ralph, he visited the MP's constituency a day before the budget reading and was appalled.

He claimed the constituency was saddled with a lot of challenges which needed urgent attention, with the MP in office for eight years without addressing them. Among the issues he outlined were poor roads and poor living conditions.

He, therefore, asked the MP to remain silent in Parliament and not contribute to discussions in the House, especially when it involves criticising the National Democratic Congress (NDC).

Stephen Amoah who seemed unhappy about the incident did not utter a word to him but eventually reported the young man to police officers in Parliament, who intervened.
