The Chief Whip of Minorities in Parliament apologized during Wednesday's exchanges between himself and the member for Assin Central.
Muntaka Mubarak says he is sorry to have exchanged insults with Kennedy Agyapong, first in the lobby and then to the House of Parliament.
"We represent people and each of us is a full leader … and I am very disappointed with what happened because two wrongs can not do it right.
"No matter the provocation, you have to have personal retainer. Many people have called and I have expressed the same feel that I wish this never happened. As human as we are, self-preservation is natural, especially when the reaction is unexpected, "he said.
The former Sports Minister said that problems in Parliament sometimes became more agitated when people were talking.
On Wednesday morning, some parliamentarians physically withheld two of their colleagues when they exchanged insults before the House before sitting.
Assin Central MP Kennedy Agyapong confronted his colleague from Asawase, who had moved a motion for the second time in summary proceedings, referring the NPP member to the Parliamentary Privilege Committee.

Apparently unhappy, Mr. Agyapong, who had attacked Mr. Muntaka Mubarak, raised questions about his remarks and asked that he be referred to the Privileges Committee.
According to Joseph Opoku Gakpo, parliamentary correspondent for Joy News, the two men met in the lobby of the Chamber where the exchanges took place.
After the exchanges, Mr. Mubarak took his place in the meeting room where he sits as the Chief Whip of Minorities before the start of the day's session.
Mr. Agyapong then walks into the room with a few majority MPs, including Effutu MP Alex Afenyo Markin, and begins insulting the Asawase MP.
He accused her but was withheld by some fellow MPs.
The Asawase MP also responded saying that he would give a lesson to the deputy of Assin Central and that he was ready for him.
But a remorseful Muntaka said that he should be forgiven for this will never happen again.
"We are grateful that he did not have first exchanges, but only exchanges of words. I pray that this will never happen again, "he said.
