Ras Mubarak who captured the headlines after he stormed Parliament Tuesday on a bicycle could not ride home after sitting. 

The Kunbungu Member of Parliament (MP), who was in protest of hikes in fuel prices and the hardship economic situation under President Akufo-Addo, rode to Parliament with his bicycle Tuesday morning.

At the end of sitting, the MP chose to park the bicycle in the yard of Parliament and joined a vehicle to his home.

According to a Joy News Reporter, Kwetey Nartey, Ras Mubarak decided to take the Uber because the clouds had gathered and was about to rain.

Fearing he could be beaten by the downpour, the MP ordered for an Uber which then drove him home.

The MP has been mocked on social media for joining an Uber instead of riding the Bicycle to signal how principled he is.

Background


The Minority National Democratic Congress (NDC) Caucus on Monday promised to embark on a 17km ride on his bicycle from his residence in Ashaley Botwe to the Parliament of Ghana.

“This is a way of sending a signal to government to highlight the plight of the voiceless Ghanaians who are unable to express their frustrations either because they have had to go to work or engage in other activity or the other. As a representative of the people aside legislation, we need to be seen to be voicing out issues that affect the ordinary Ghanaian and for me it is a way to generate attention not to myself but to rise in the cost of living in the country”, he said.

He told journalists that it was important as a representative of the people to tell the government the plight of the people.

He said so many of his colleague MPs are acquiring some bicycles to embark on a similar exercise.
