Assin Central MP,Kennedy Agyapong is in trouble.
Mr Agyapong is expected to face the Privileges Committee of Parliament over an alleged threat against JoyNews reporter Erastus Asare Donkor.
Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin on Wednesday directed the Parliamentary Committee to investigate the matter and inform the House if the actions of Mr Agyapong breach the orders of Parliament.
Kennedy Agyapong is reported to have threatened to attack Mr Asare Donkor during a live programme on Net TV2 ‘for the journalistic work that the latter undertook during the recent shootings and killing incident at Ejura‘.
Multimedia Group, owners of credible news brands Joy FM, JoyNews and Myjoyonline.com are demanding protection for the journalist and also urging the Police CID to look into the said threats issued by Kennedy Agyapong.
MP for Tamale North, Alhassan Sayibu Suhuyini moved the motion for the Assin Central MP to be investigated for his recent actions.
He said ‘For those utterances to be attributed to a committee chairman (Defence and Interior Committee) of this House, I think it calls for the attention of this House.
Mr Speaker, he said that if he were the President of Ghana, he would have ensured that the said journalist, Erastus Asare Donkor is beaten seriously and this comes in the wake of another such utterance he made in relation to Ahmed Suale which led to the identity of Suale being compromised and eventually murdered’.
