No! This is my station, I will take him on here. The life I have lived, he has not lived some. No. No\u201d, he insisted on being allowed to \u2018dress down\u2019 his leader in Parliament.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf he (Kyei Mensah Bonsu) likes I will disgrace him. Are you out of your mind? Parliament is cheap that\u2019s why someone like him can be a leader. If he follows Anas the evidence I will bring will shame him. He is just older than me but he has not lived life better than me.\u201d The Loudmouthed Assin Central MP bragged and insulted all at once.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIs Kyei Mensah better than the judges?\u201d He asked, in reference to judges who were exposed by Anas in an investigative piece three years ago.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cParliament doesn\u2019t feed me\u2026 1GH\u00a21,000 is chicken change. Does he know how much I pay for chop money?\u201d Ken Agyapong boasted further.<\/p>\n<p>He said a lot more, as MyNewsGH.com captured far below.<\/p>\n<p>But what did the Majority Leader say?<\/p>\n<p>The Majority Leader Osei Kyei Mensah-Bonsu criticised the Member of Parliament for Assin Central, Kennedy Agyapong, for his tirades directed at the investigative journalist, Anas Aremeyaw Anas.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking on Eyewitness News days ago, he described Kennedy Agyapong\u2019s scathing verbal attacks against Anas as \u201cregrettable\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>He was speaking after Assin Central MP had accused Anas of being corrupt ahead of his documentary expos\u00e9 on Ghana football, which airs today.<\/p>\n<p>Kennedy Agyapong insisted that Anas\u2019 alleged act of corruption warranted the death sentence. His disdain for the renowned investigative journalist stems from his dislike for Anas\u2019 clandestine methods.<\/p>\n<p>But the Majority Leader disagreed with his personal attacks on Anas, saying his fellow MP has no right to attack Anas.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you question his methods, does that mean you should launch a personal blistering attack on the person? Stating emphatically that he is corrupt and so on and so forth. We should be careful, especially us as Members of Parliament,\u201d Mr. Kyei Mensah-Bonsu said.<\/p>\n<p>But Kennedy Agyapong is a man who listens to no one.<\/p>\n<p>He said he won\u2019t take such lessons from the Majority Leader.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGH\u00a211,000 for parliament is chicken change.\u201d, he hit.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m daring him (Ken). The parliament investigation Anas did he should bring it. Why should he show Judiciary and not show legislature. We are not in Plato\u2019s ideal world where justice belongs to the strong and rich.\u201d Ken Agyapong went on and on and on.<\/p>\n<p>The bottom line?
