Maverick politician Kennedy Agyapong and Minority Chief Whip, Mohammed Muntaka Mubarak nearly ended up in fisticuffs on the floor of parliament over a request made by the latter he should be referred to the privileges committee over Ahmed Suale’ murder, MyNewsGh.com has filed.
The encounter between the two ‘enemy MPs’ was recorded from the public gallery of parliament via phone by a lady who posted it on social media.
In the 31-second video obtained by MyNewsGh.com, the two lawmakers were seen in heated verbal exchanges in Twi amidst threats while colleagues tried to calm the situation by dragging the Member of Parliament (MP) for Assin Central away.
While Muntaka insulted Kennedy Agyapong in Twi as an animal and a ‘foolish good-for-nothing’, Kennedy vowed to make Muntaka uncomfortable in Ghana. “Wo ye aboa-ba, gyimi gyimii” Muntaka shouted at Kennedy Agyapong as the NPP MP was being restrained.
He was seen banging the desk on the chamber of parliament threatening to deal with him at the appointed time while Muntaka Mubarak in reply was shouting and pointing fingers at his direction, saying he is a Zongo boy who fears nothing.
Mr Kennedy Agyapong was on Tuesday referred to Parliament’s Privileges Committee for inciting the public against undercover investigator Ahmed Hussein-Suale.
This follows a plea by Asawase MP on Tuesday on the floor of Parliament that his colleague was in contempt of the House for the behaviour he believes resulted in the death of the Tiger Eye PI investigator.
“I make this complaint of contempt of Parliament against my own colleague for the embarrassment and uncalled for comments and incitement of the public against a member of the public that unfortunately led to the death of the gentleman.”
This is about the second time Muntaka Mubarak and the businessman have cross swords over alleged misconduct leading to the matter being referred to the privileges committee.
