Kennedy Agyapong is the deputy of Assin Central
The second chief bad, Matthew Nyindam, said that if Parliament decided to punish Kennedy Agyapong for his words "Parliament is cheap" and "Parliament is useless", the majority caucus to which the legislator belongs Central Assin by this.
He said the majority caucus would in no way protect Kennedy Agyapong for the simple fact that he is one of their own.
For Kpandai's legislature, the Chamber undertakes to treat any person or member who contravenes its rules and will therefore stick to the sanctions imposed by the President or the Privileges Committee.
"Kennedy is a human being. Kennedy obeys the laws, Kennedy respects the people; Kennedy thinks he's a crusader who is fighting for the most vulnerable. Kennedy is like any other person, okay? And this report will be taken. Kennedy can not run away. He is a citizen of this nation. Yes, he may have minors with whom people may not agree but he has positive points. He has been in the Senate for almost eighteen years now. So, he's not just an ordinary person. We are determined to deal with anyone who will go against our rules. The punishment that will be recommended by the chair or the committee, Kennedy if he firmly believes that he does not like it, he will appeal. In any case, he will not say that he will not do what Parliament asks him to do – he is not above the law. He is a human being and we are all before the law, "he said.
On Friday, February 8, 2019, Parliament was scheduled to end the Privileges Committee 's work when the lawmakers of Assin Central appeared before it in the middle of last year for its unguarded comments against the legislator.
However, the House has had to postpone the announced program until next week due to the unavailability of the presidency of Parliament comprising the majority leader, Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu, the leader of the minority, Haruna Iddrisu, and the chair, Rt. Hon. Aaron Michael Oquaye.
According to the second majority deputy bad, because of the nature of the case, it was important that all the leaders be present before the report of the Commission could be taken into account.
In July 2018, the Privileges Committee chaired by the First Deputy Speaker of Parliament, the Hon. Joseph Osei Owusu, recommended that plenary reprimand or suspend Kennedy Agyapong for the remainder of the "session".
The Committee reached this decision after finding that Mr. Agyapong was in contempt of Parliament for his words that "Parliament is cheap" and "Parliament is useless".
Before making that final decision, the Committee was divided in two with regard to the sanction to be recommended to the plenary for consideration.
The House was to finalize the report of the Privileges Committee at the last session of the second session. However, the cause of the delay in the examination of the report is not clear.
