However, in a sharp rebuttal, the Member of Parliament for Abuakwa North, Hon. Atta Akyea disagreed with Mr. Amidu on this assertion.
Hon Atta Akyea, who also doubles as the Minister of Works and Housing, said: "Your child is your child no matter the age. This is nonnegotiable, don't rewrite laws of succession".
