Assin Central Member of Parliament (MP), Kennedy Agyapong has described himself as a ‘hard core’ person who cannot be easily intimidated by comments from the populace.

The maverick politician currently risk suspension from Parliament following for making statements that sought to denigrate the august house.

Parliament could not take a decision on the fate of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Member of Parliament for Assin Central, Kennedy Ohene Agyapong, who had been cited in an alleged contemptuous statement against the House.

Mr. Kennedy Agyapong was said to have described Parliament as a ‘cheap’ and ‘useless’ Institution.

Appearing before the committee on July 23, the Assin Central MP completely denied that he used ‘useless’ to describe Parliament but admitted that he used the word ‘cheap’ to describe the Institution.

The Assin Central MP unreservedly apologised to MPs and the Institution when he appeared before the committee for using the word ‘cheap’ to describe the Parliament of Ghana.

He said he used the word because he was highly provoked by one Kwabena Nsenkyire, the First Ashanti Regional Vice Chairman of the NPP who had earlier denigrated him (Ken Agyapong) by telling him that he (Agyapong) does not deserve to be called an honourable Member of Parliament and continued to rain other invective on him after he had vowed to expose investigative journalist, Anas Aremeyaw Anas.

Commenting on this on Adom TV’s Badwam on Tuesday as monitored by GhanaNewsPage.Com, Ken Agyapong said he is a ‘hard core’ person who is ready for the worse.

“As for me, I am a hard core…I sleep a lot and dream of just two things, money and fight…I am ready for the worst…,” he said.

Parliament deferred the ruling on the recommendation of the Privileges Committee calling for either his suspension on warning.
