Agyapong accused Alhaji Muntaka of raising the issue in Parliament last Tuesday, which forced Professor Aaron Michael Oquaye, Speaker of Parliament, to refer him (Mr Agyapong) to the Committee.

Alhaji Muntaka alleged that Mr. Agyapong made derogatory remarks about Parliament and the majority leader, Mr. Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu.
