Parliament house nearly witnessed a brawl between two lawmakers, Kennedy Agyapong, MP and Muntaka Mubarak, MP this Wednesday morning.
Mr. Agyapong has been referred to the privileges committee of parliament, at the instance of Muntaka Mubarak, over his comments leading the unfortunate murder of investigative journalist, Ahmed Hussein-Suale, allegedly hurled insults at the the Asawase MP upon seeing him at the Speaker’s lobby.
He argued Muntaka was given the free way to speak ill of him on the floor Tuesday because he was absent. Mr. Agyapong called Muntaka a thief – referring to his dismissal from the Sports Ministry by the late President Mills, Star News reports.
In return the minority whip called Mr. Agyapong a drug dealer. The heated exchanges between the duo moved from the lobby onto the floor of the chamber where some colleagues intervened.
Mr. Agyapong who has been accused by the public as responsible for the assassination of Hussein-Suale in a bid to clear his name has announced a GHC100,000 bounty on the head of the suspects.
Hussein-Suale who worked closely with ace investigative journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas to expose rot in Ghana football in an investigative masterpiece dubbed #Number12 was killed on Wednesday, January 16, by unknown gunmen whilst he drove home.
This comes comes months after Kennedy Agyapong uncovered the late Ahmed’s pictures on TV calling for retribution over his role in a football corruption probe, dubbed #Number 12.
The maverick Assin central MP in recent times since the death of Ahmed has said, “It’s a human being that has died, no matter the mistake he has made, he has the right to live”.
“What I want to do is, anyone who can give information to assist in the arrest of the suspects will receive GHC100, 000 from me because it’s my reputation on the line.”
