A member of the Parliament of Ghana, Adongo Frank Fuseini, during a parliamentary session on Thursday, mocked the country’s Vice President (VP), Mahamudu Bawumia.

Adongo got his colleagues at the Parliament laughing so hard during the presentation of Ghana 2023 Budget, when he shared how Manchester United defender, Harry Maguire, who was once considered one of the world’s best defenders, eventually became a threat to his own team.
