Minority Threatens To Drag Ahenkorah Before Privileges Committee

The Minority is threatening to drag the Deputy Trades Minister before the Privileges Committee of Parliament for his conduct in the $100,000 cash-to-sit close to the president scandal.

According to the Minority Chief Whip Muntaka Mubarak the conduct of Carlos Ahenkorah was “serious” because he “almost physically attacked Ablakwa in Parliament.”

But for the restraint shown by the North Tongu MP there would have been an exchange of blows, Muntaka Mubarak stated.

Carlos Arhinkorah is said to have rained invectives on Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa who has been championing the $100,000 cash-to-sit close to the president scandal.

In the full glare of journalists, Carlos barged into an interview session Ablakwa was having with the media and rained insults on him.
