Audio Attachment:Listen to Muntaka Mubarak |
The MP for Asawase constituency and Minority Whip, Hon Mubarak Muntaka has expressed regret over the hot verbal exchanges that ensued between himself and the MP for Assin Central Hon Kennedy Ohene Agyepong yesterday(Wednesday).
Hon Muntaka made the comment today at a media briefing by leadership of Parliament and the Public Affairs Department at which members of the Parliamentary Press Corps were given opportunity to ask questions on various issues relating to the work of Parliament.
The Minority Whip said he deeply regretted the unfortunate incident between himself and the Assin Central MP and wished it never happened.
He said he is happy that the hot verbal exchanges did not result in fist exchanges and hoped such incident will not reoccur.
Background
There was drama in Parliament on Wednesday morning when some Parliamentarians had to physically restrain two of their colleagues from opposite sides of the political divide; the NPP Member of Parliament for Assin Central, Kennedy Agyapong and NDC Member of Parliament Asawase, Muntaka Mubarak, from exchanging in fisticuffs.
But for the timely intervention of some MPs in the august House, it was likely things would have taken a worse turn, as the two MPs were only limited to trading insults on the Floor of the House ahead of sitting.
The incident played out when the NPP MP aggressively charged on the NDC MP, perhaps because of the latter's decision to move a motion on the Floor for the second time referring him (Agyapong) to parliament’s privileges committee.

ken please forgive him.i wish most ghanaians will learn something from what happend.even upon all the insults in and around ghana nobody can do you harm.we ghanaian we are like that --we always hide behind the truth.i was almost melting when i read of muntakas apology.where is that boy hiding, try to get him and hang him.also,since christian council has failed us we need muslim council to replace it.i came from a christian home but time has come and it needful-salute
@Efie fo) ye wo a do you really think Ken cares about your respect or advice. If you have any advice, advice yourself.
Only ***barred word*** people regret after acting without reasoning. This is a face saving statement. Mr. Pampers man.
WE'LL MURDER KENNEDY AGYAPONG. HE'S ON NOTICE, A DEAD MAN WALKING.
I sense some level of maturity in you. humbly showing remorse for your action is very right. Many will be led by their arrogance and destroy themselves. I must advice Mr. Agyapong to do likewise as this act is consistently destroying him. I respect him so much but some of his actions and utterances do not speak well of him. Many young once are looking up to you so if you consistently insult yourselves what do you expect your children to do? If your children begin to insult people with any least provocation and extend it to the chief in your village, your wife,yourself,Elders,Pastors etc what will you do?
No one in this country especially the politicians deserve to be called Honorable.They are all C'rooks and do not think about the so called ordinary GHANAIAN.
YOU ARE NOW REGRETTING? A ZONGO BOY DOESN'T REGRET HIS ACTIONS OOH.WE WILL MAKE YOU REGRET EVEN THE DAY YOU CAME TO PARLIAMENT OR JOINED POLITICS.
