The Member of Parliament for Kumbungu, Ras Mubarak has described his colleague legislator, Kennedy Agyapong as a bully who must be sanctioned.
According to him, Agyapong at the least opportunity tries to belittle Parliament; a move he said is “unbecoming” of a Member of Parliament.
“I will support every move to make sure that he [Kennedy Agyapong] faces the full rigors of the law,” he said.
“Ken [Agypong] is a bully. He is a chairman of the committee I serve on—the committee on communications. There are that mutual respect and rapport between us, but clearly, time and again he’s dragged the name of parliament in the mud, and I don’t think that Parliament should continue to tolerate him,” Ras Mubarak added on Citi TV’s morning show, Breakfast Daily on Monday.
Ras Mubarak’s comment is premised on a recent standoff between Minority Chief Whip, Muntaka Mubarak and Kennedy Agyapong, MP for Assin Central.
Mr Agyapong was referred to Parliament’s Privileges Committee by Muntaka for reportedly calling Parliament “useless.”
Kennedy Agyapong who did not take kindly to the referral among other things called Muntaka “dumb.”
“A whole member of parliament, you don’t even listen to the tape, and you consume information and just come to parliament and say that I have insulted parliament. Let them play the tape,” the Assin Central MP said.
But Muntaka was incensed by Agyapong’s description of him, and in an interview on Eyewitness News, last Friday called for his [Agyapong’s] “suspension” from Parliament.

RAS, IF THERE SHOULD BE SUSPENTION IT MUST BE MPS IN MINORITY WHEN THEY INSULTED THE SPEAKER OF PARLIAMENT.SHOWED DISRESPECT TO THE SPEAKER.
If anyone should be suspended from Parliament, then it should be Muntaka. Is he not the same person who lied through his teeth in the cash for seat saga. If Ken Agyapong should be suspended as suggested by Muntaka then parliament is really an interesting place for the caliber of people we voted and continue to vote for. They should take note that they are only representatives of the people and the electorate can decide their fate every 4 years.
See who is talking is it not true that Parliament has become so cheap that your sort, muntaka; is he not the One who made cut and paste in the case of your cash for seat matter? Does this one too deserve to be called an Honorable?
Look at them, so your in-law is at loggerheads with Kennedy Agyepong so you want to come in? this show how st*pid these people are and I pity those who allow them to represent them. I'm against Asawase being a constituency by itself, because it's like the place is only for settlers who don't own the land and I think it is about time it merge with the mother constituency. This guy Muntaka is growing too much wings which are heavier than himself because Kumasi has giving him that chance to be an mp!In any case, by hook or cro**k 2020 he will lose his seat and he can join Ras Mubarak as mp for his constituency. Kennedy Agyepong was and is and will be forever, you can drink the whole of Korle Lagoon who cares! He didn't buy to be mp, he didn't beg to be mp but he is an indigene and a true son of Assin, Central region/ Ghana, so, he deserve it and his people chose him to represent them ,if you people have any problem go to his people and send your complain. Aden na mo'aba so saa !
