Controversial Member of Parliament for Assin Central Ken Ohene Agyapong who described Ghana’s parliament as “cheap and useless,” has been found guilty for contempt, and is to be suspended by the House.

The privileges committee which investigated the matter concluded in its report that “Mr. Ken Ohene Agyapong is indeed in contempt of parliament for the remarks he made that ‘Parliament is cheap’ and ‘parliament is useless’”.

Members of the entire House will in few minutes determine whether to accept the recommendation of the privileges committee and accordingly suspend the firebrand who is currently facing another contempt charge.
