Various news portals were awash with a news item about Hon. William Quaitoo, a deputy minister of agriculture over some comments he passed deemed to be ethnocentric.
In the said comments which courtesy coupled with decency would not permit their repetition, the deputy minister's comments pained the people in the three northern regions, giving many a people from the zone the impetus to rain condemnations on the soft-spoken deputy minister.
Despite the fact that he rendered an unqualified apology for the guff, his remorsefulness was overlooked, and was bastardized the more. The culmination of these series of events was his letter to the President of the Republic, Nana Addo Dankwa Akuo-Addo, resigning from his position.
It would be recollected vividly that opposition elements, especially NDC MPs who hail from the three Northern regions were very vociferous with their attacks on the deputy minister, and one such MP was Alhassan Suhuyini. The ferocious manner in which he heaped insults upon the beleaguered deputy minister for agriculture cannot be easily forgotten.
It is therefore strange that Holier than thou Alhassan Suhuyini, the apostle of decent language, has called a fellow human being, a Ghanaian from the Brong Ahafo Region, a Southerner, a pig.
This unfortunate incident was precipitated by a harmless question the gentleman asked him to mention an intervention whose stature could rival the rolled out Free SHS policy, and in his response, Suhuyini referred to him as a pig, and would not respond to such people.
For someone who was shouting at the top of his voice to have his fellow Member of Parliament guillotined over comments, as unfortunate as they sounded, apologized profusely for, to now turn around to refer to his fellow Ghanaian a pig is not only repugnant but also irresponsible, and must be condemned by the very people who joined him in castrating William Quaitoo.
This uncouth behaviour ought to be condemned by all and sundry, as it casts a slur on the integrity of the House of Parliament, especially, when same happened and was widely castigated and the expectation being that a reoccurrence of that incident or anything similar to it would not rear its ugly head.

***barred word*** BOY SUHUYINI...BLADDERFOOL
You are the piiig. No one in his right sense will wrestle with you in the feeces that u like so much.
Please, this is not insult. it is idiomatic expression. When did ''I don't wrestle with big in their pen''become insult to Akans. I was angry when I saw the headline, but I do not see any insult in this message. simply put, I have no time to answer your question. We have only one Ghana, whether you are from the North, south, East or West.we don't need a divided Ghana
i am disappointed that a member of parliament could us such a poor language, disgracing his constituent. they are too many persons in parliament and hence the number should be reduce to allow fewer and more responsible persons to represent the good people of Ghana. we do not deserve this attitude regardless of who provoke the other. we must great responsibility and good character as parliamentarian hence the title 'Honorable.' it comes at a cost and hence not everyone can attain it. we must reduce the number to separate the men from the boys.
wrestling with pigs in their pen and sleeping in your room with cows and goats which is better suhyini.tell your family to move out of the cow pen
The likes of this thing .... "human beast" called suhini and his fellows like fuseini - formally of Graphic Corp and now an Honorables!!!! Goodness me. Their venom is a mixture of extreme tribal hatred and religious intolerance and bigotry symptomatic of ISIS and they are TIME BOMBS IN WAITING!!
Waaaaa look! He can put words together so he has to take all of us down such reckless and silly jolly ride of disjointed ideas. How does "I don't wrestle with pigs in their pen" translate into tribal bigotry? Your attempts to use a basic idiomatic expression to equalize that silly and loose talk from that Fmr. Deputy Minister is just ***barred word***. And it actually exposes our educational system and the quality of graduates it churns out lately. For a graduate of your caliber and many others like you to have gone this direction just demonstrate a single thing; ignorance! Shame on all empty headed braggarts.
Pity.Those politicizing n tribalising this issue are a threat to our democracy. The one who wrote the above piece is as wreckless was the word.Look up the meaning of the idiomatic expression used and see if u don't need "free education" to elevate ur Godforsaken ignorance.
Peace my brothers and sisters. You guys need to understand that our poor northern brothers are full of hate and low self-esteem, all due to their difficult backgrounds. The known only talkative so-called mps from the north should learn from the intelligent people from the middle zone of Ghana in particular. If you get the opportunity help your own people and invest back home in your impoverished northern regions with basic living conditions.
Master you can try to tribalise this harmless figure of speech fro Hon. Suhuyini but it will never sticked.Trying very hard to equalise huh? He never mentioned any tribe. shame..
