Member of Parliament for Assin Central, Kennedy Ohene Agyapong would face the privileges committee today Monday the 23rd of July 2018 for a second public hearing of the committee on allegation of contempt brought against him by the Minority Chief Whip, Mohammed Muntaka Mubarak.
MPs from the Central Region on the committee recused themselves over being bias during the first hearing last month.
The three MPs from the Central Region who recused themselves were Nana Eyiah Quansah from Gomoa Central, Samuel Nsowah-Djan Upper Denkyira West and Cynthia Morrison Agona West.
The three have subsequently been replaced on the committee on the committee by the Majority side of the House.
The replacements are Yaw Buaben Asamoah, Adentan MP; Yaw Maama Afful, Jaman South MP; and Nana Akua Afriyie, Ablekuma North MP.
The Minority Chief Whip, Muntaka Mubarak, filed a motion accusing Kennedy Agyapong of making contemptuous public comments about the House. Mr. Agyapong was subsequently summoned to appear before Parliament’s Privileges Committee which addresses such matters.
