Member of Parliament for Assin Central, Ken Agyapong says he will not contest the 2020 parliamentary elections based on advice received from his wife.
According to Mr Agyapong, his wife, was appalled by the video tendered as evidence against him by MP for Asawase, Mohammed Mubarak Muntaka and has since advised him not to contest the seat again.
“My wife told me not to go again and I won’t go again; my constituents will try all they can to persuade me but I won’t go again. I have a life to live and I will entreat people to come see my lifestyle after parliament”.
Speaking on Adom TV Tuesday, the MP said his decision was based on unfair treatment received from his colleague politicians.
Mr. Agyapong is particularly not happy over what he believes to be discrimination against him.
“When the guy said I wasn’t qualified to be an MP and that if I couldn’t stay in Ghana with Anas then I should leave Ghana, no parliamentarian or politician said a thing because it was against Kennedy Agyapong so everybody heard nothing," he lamented.
Mr Agyapong appeared before the Privileges Committee Monday and rendered an unqualified apology to parliament and its leadership for describing parliament as “cheap”.
He however denied ever calling Parliament “useless“.
He told the privileges committee if the House feels slighted by his comments made on his television station, NET2 TV, he apologises for making them.

This is the biggest and happiest news thus year. Even, we in NPP, are tires of you. Go and let's have some Godly peace. Always ranting as if you are the mist sensible person in the party and Ghana
YOU ARE ***barred word*** IN PARLIAMENT. YOU ARE JUST A ***barred word*** PARLIAMENTARIAN. GO KURAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
When u go learn how to talk for you did not make yourself rich as u claim. Go go go go go go away!
That would be good riddance of bad ru--bbi-sh. we are tired of your constant f00--l1sh incoherent talk on your network. You insult anybody who disagrees with you on any issue,threaten people and denigrate others I have been appalled when you have insulted Ken Attafiah, Prof Frimpong Boateng ,The PRO of the Ghana Armed Forces Kweku Baako and a host of decent people whose shoes you don't qualify to shine. Enough already .The evidence that was shown in parliament is not the worst thing you've done to people.What is your use in the House anyway? Never heard you utter a whimper in parliament but on your net work you are a real roaring lion.You may have what you think is a fan base of poor illiterate suckers but you are loathe by many by your constant bragging and bravado. Leave already. Go sit in your square village and seek the face of God.
Go and never come back to Parliament. at least we can breathe small. The womb that gave to you really suffered with you as a pregnancy. go go go, even now. haaba
This is all your enemies are waiting for - PLEASE DO NOT RESIGN. Yes, you boast, SO WHAT? BUT YOU ALSO DEFEND THE POOR AND THE NATION. Every human makes a mistake, why shouldn't you? Ghanaians don't like those who fight for the disadvantaged. The "big men" steal but they get praised for being "clever". Kofi Wayo stopped talking because they vilified him, now they want you to go. I respect your wife's concern; she is hurt every time they attack you but you are a good politician, help her to be proud of that.
Kwabena Ken, 'wo beko a ko, na yabere'. We are tired of the empty threats; you may quit any time. You talk too much, you are too known and you boast too much. That's your problem!
Who cares? If you can't stand the heat, leave the kitchen. Period!
