Asante Akyem North MP, Andy Appiah Kubi, is concerned that persistent quarrels between two colleagues could have a negative impact on the work of the House.

Appiah Kubi wants the House leaders to investigate why Assin Central MP Kennedy Agyapong and his Asawase colleague Muntaka Mubarak continue to mutually abuse each other and settle the situation. problem if possible.

"Even though they [Ken and Muntaka] can not quite understand, this should not affect the operations of this badembly, "said Joseph Opoku Gakpo, a member of the worried majority, to the press.

His concerns followed Wednesday's confrontation between the two legislators before the day's meeting.

According to Joseph Opoku Gakpo, Joy News parliamentary correspondent, they met in the lobby of the House of Representatives where an exchange ensued.

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.

The exchanges in the hall ended and the two roads separated.

Mr. Mubarak sat in the chamber where he sits as Chief Whip of Minorities before the start of the session.

Mr. Agyapong then enters the room with a few majority MPs, including Effutu MP Alex Afenyo Markin. Suddenly, we hear Mr. Agyapong address the member for Asawase.

He accused him of insults but he was retained 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.

Mr. Agyapong was referred to Parliament's Privilege Committee for allegedly instigating the public to denounce the underground investigator Ahmed Hussein-Suale, who was killed by unidentified gunmen.

Mr. Mubarak, who raised the issue in Parliament, said his colleague was disregarding the House for the behavior that he alleged would have resulted in the death of the investigator Tiger Eye PI.

The disturbing development has forced Asante member Akyem North to "I beg the House leaders to investigate the matter between them to end the personal acrimony."

"It's so much sitting leadership" to address the issue, said Appiah Kubi.
