I want to emphasize that it is the House that will take the decision, it is not the speaker, it is not any other person apart from the House.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThat will be your collective&nbsp; wisdom that come to the conclusion whether what is alleged is just a mere allegation or is supported by facts and whether those facts constitute contempt of the House and abuse of a privilege&nbsp; of members,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt is important for me to emphasize here that the privilege and immunity of free speech applies in full force in plenary session and committee sessions, not when members are outside debating issues or on radio and TV. You don\u2019t have that right, that privilege, that immunity to just say anything because you are a member of parliament.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe are not above the law. It is for good reasons because you represent a large number of people, you should be given the full immunity to be able to say what the people say they want you to say. That is why you say it here and you are covered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThat immunity doesn\u2019t extend to you in anywhere else. So pleased the committee should go into the matter, submit the report.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reacting to this on his Radio Station Oman FM on Thursday July 15, Kennedy Agyapong said \u201cYou cannot use the media to and the Police to gag me.&nbsp; You make a statement that I should be referred to the Privileges Committee of Parliament.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI want to insult. He is foolish a MP, Suhuyini is stupid. He hasn\u2019t achieved anything in life so he wants Ghana to burn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m so disappointed in him. He uses everything for&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/3news.com\/category\/politics\/\">politics<\/a>. The privileges committee is made up of human beings or they think being an MP is all I have, they think being MP is the only thing I rely on. If they remove parliament, I will continue to say the truth, no one can stop me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He insisted that the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/3news.com\/category\/business\/\">business<\/a>&nbsp;owner of Joy FM, told him that the workers had resolved to sabotage the government because the New Patritoic Party (NPP) administration is taking care of them, a claim the management of Joy FM denied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI will continue to speak the truth and not anyone silence me. The truth is that Joy FM have been disgraced, they should write an apology letter to the families that lost their relatives in Ejura incident. They should also write to those injured as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI still repeat that they are corrupt, I dare Kwasi Twum and he claims he didn\u2019t say it, he should be ashamed of himself. He said it in my office that the staff of Joy FM are threatening to sabotage the government because we don\u2019t take care of them. If they push I will expose all the things about Joy FM.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Source: |3<a href=\"https:\/\/3news.com\/category\/news\/\">news<\/a>.com|Ghana<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Send your news stories to&nbsp;<a href=\"mailto:dannyboy744@gmail.com\">dannyboy744@gmail.com<\/a>&nbsp;and via WhatsApp on +233 266777777<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Member of Parliament for Assin Central Kennedy Agyapong has verbally attacked his colleague lawmaker for Tamale North Alhassan Suhuyini who petitioned the Speaker of Parliament to invite him before the Privileges Committee of Parliament.
