Mr. Appiah Kubi wants leadership of the House to investigate why the Assin Central MP, Kennedy Agyapong and Asawase colleague, Muntaka Mubarak, continue to verbally assault each other on the Floor and resolve the matter if possible.

He charged at him with insults but he was restrained by some colleague MPs.
The Asawase MP responded as well saying he will teach the Assin Central MP a lesson and that he was ready for him.
Mr. Agyapong, has been referred to Parliament’s Privileges Committee for allegedly inciting the public against undercover investigator, Ahmed Hussein-Suale who was killed by unknown gunmen.

The worrying development has compelled the Asante Akyem North Member to “I implore the leadership of the house to investigate the matter between them to stop the personal acrimony.”
“It’s so much of leadership sitting down” to address the matter, Appiah Kubi said. Read Full Story
