The first chief majority bad, Mr. Mathew Nyindam, warned the minority caucus against any politicization and any attempt to score political points with the death of the underground journalist Ahmed Hussein-Suale.

According to the minority, the revelation of the investigative journalist on television and on social media by Mr. Agyapong contributed to his death.

They want Mr. Agyapong arrested and prosecuted for "complicity in crime".

"The minority wishes to emphasize that it is very embarrbading that Kennedy Agyapong was allowed to run for all these years. Parliament and state institutions did absolutely nothing about his reprehensible conduct and his irresponsible remarks before US Congressman Henry C. Hank Johnson, Jr., demanding action by the US Department of Justice. US state. We hereby declare our full support for any sanction imposed on Kennedy Agyapong, as the United States Government deems appropriate. "

But speaking at the Clbad News, Nyindam has decried the partisan turn NDC deputies have introduced into the rampaging saga.

He said: "If they have nothing important to do to maintain the peace and security that we have in this country, it is best that they keep quiet because Is so ashamed and I feel very bad. "

"When such questions arise, this is a very important issue that requires national and international attention, because nothing can pay for a life you lose in the country, and the minority wants to try as much as possible to politicize such questions and this has never brought any positive results. Whenever problems like this arise, the minority will always want to take away some political capital, and that hurts me. "
