Traditional rulers of the Anlo Kingdom in the Volta Region have petitioned the Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin, requesting his assistance in identifying the Member of Parliament (MP) who verbally assaulted Zanetor Agyemang-Rawlings, the MP for Klottey-Korle.
In the petition addressed to the Speaker and two other MPs who were initially suspected of the act but later denied involvement, the chiefs have set a deadline of February 10th for the Speaker to help identify the perpetrator. This will enable the chiefs to determine their next course of action.
The verbal outburst occurred during parliamentary proceedings on Tuesday, February 4, when a male voice was heard shouting, “Daughter of a murderer, sit down! Daughter of a murderer, sit down!”.
The incident took place while Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin was addressing the House and urging for calm amidst heated discussions surrounding the 60th anniversary of the death of Joseph Boakye Danquah.
Zanetor Rawlings is the eldest child of the late Jerry John Rawlings, Ghana’s former military leader who later transitioned to become civilian president in the early 1990s
Also, the NDC member of the Klottey-Korle constituency has demonstrated on this issue telling parliament to call those who made that statement to order.
‘It’s high time we let our leaders know. We came in peace today Next time it won’t be the situation’ Klottey Korle constituents have gathered at the NDC Headquarters in Adabraka, demanding the party break its silence on this issue.
