Kennedy Agyapong Summoned To Privileges Committee

The Member of Parliament for Assin Central Constituency and Chairman of Parliament’s Select Committee on Defence and Interior, Kennedy Ohene Agyapong has been directed by the Speaker to meet the Privileges Committee of Parliament over his utterances against a Multimedia journalist.

The Multimedia Group has filed a formal complaint against Hon Agyapong for threatening the life of one of its journalists, Erastus Asare Donkor.

Mr Agyapong On Friday, July 9, 2021 was reported to have verbally abused and threatened to attack Mr Asare Donkor, “for the journalistic work that the latter undertook during the recent shootings and killing incident at Ejura” on Net 2 TV, a television station that belongs to the MP.

The Member of Parliament for Tamale North, Alhassan Suhuyini, on Wednesday, July 14, 2021, sought the Speaker of Parliament, Alban Sumana Bagbin, to refer Mr. Agyapong to the Privileges Committee.

He cited Order 27 of the Standing Orders of Parliament.

According to Alhassan Suhuyini, the Assin Central MP has brought the name of Parliament into disrepute by threatening harm on the life of the Multimedia Group Journalist, Erastus Asare Donkor on his Net 2 Television.
