Mr. Suhuyini, a former broadcaster raised the issue on the floor of Parliament on Wednesday, 14th July 2021 stating that he felt obliged to draw the attention of the house to the conduct of an honorable colleague in Parliament.

I also hope that the Committee will approach this as a national issue and not a partisan issue”, he stated in an interview.
The member of Parliament, Kennedy Agyapong has been referred to the Privileges Committee by the speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin following calls from Hon. Suhuyini.
