The MP for Assin Central, Kennedy Agyapong has said he will not reconcile with the MP for Asawase, Muntaka because he is not someone relevant in his life.
The two men had a fracas in Parliament early 2019 which everyone taught time has healed the wounds but Kennedy Agyapong yesterday ( Tuesday, June 23) told Paul Adom-Otchere on Good Evening Ghana that he would have fought the MP in Parliament, but he has since grown calmer over the matter.
“I would have given him some flying kicks you would have been surprised. I still kick good! Look, people are watching, let’s leave this idiot,”
The two men had a fracas in Parliament early 2019.
The two, the MP for Asawase, Mohammed Muntaka Mubarak and MP for Assin Central, Kennedy Ohene Agyapong, just before proceedings started that morning, met and used abusive and insulting words against each other.
This happened a day after the Assin Central MP was dragged to the Parliamentary Privileges Committee by the Asawase MP, for allegedly inciting the public against the late investigative journalist, Ahmed Hussein Suale, who was murdered by unknown assailants.
Muntaka Mubarak, who is also the Minority Chief Whip, stated that the NPP firebrand’s incitement of violence against the late journalist was in contempt of Parliament.
He said: “I made 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.”
Muntaka Mubarak then called on the Speaker to refer the member to the Privileges Committee for his inciting comments about the late Tiger Eye investigator.
This was after the Minority, at a news conference, asked the police to arrest the Assin Central MP as a key suspect in the murder of Ahmed Hussein Suale.
An unhappy Agyapong met Muntaka in the lobby of the House where the exchanges ensued.
Agyapong took offence and confronted the Minority Chief Whip, raising issues with why the latter asked that he, Agyapong, should be referred to the Privileges Committee.
The exchanges in the lobby ended and the two parted ways.
