The assembly member for Asokwa Electoral Area, Oscar Riches popularly known as Ghana Beyeyie has been suspended from the Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly (KMA) for slapping the Deputy KMA Coordinating Director.
The decision to suspend the assemblyman was arrived at during an emergency meeting of the assembly held today December 28, 2017.
According to mynewsgh.com, he has been banned from the Assembly for the next 360 days after voting by both elected and assembly members on the period of suspension to be handed to him.
Thirty-Seven (37) voted for him to be handed 3 months suspension, four(4) for six months, Fifty-three (53) for a year and seven (7) dissenting
It was also recommended that, the Deputy Coordinating Director, Abdul Karim Adams who received the slaps be suspended for two weeks for uttering unpleasant remarks against Ghana Beyeyie and to a very large extent the assembly members as a whole.
But he however showed remorse and rendered an unqualified apology leading to him being pardoned.
He has therefore been asked to officially write an apology letter to that effect.

kwuku adu, please keep quite and go and read the local govt act,and stop making noise ok.
its pathetic how intolerable NPP supporters can be. Do you think you are the only people with sense? i am sorry if you do not agree with people, air your views and stop the unnecessary personal attacks. For all you know i can employ and pay you and all the members of your family. SIIIAAAAAKWA.
Nameless,you are a coward that's why you are nameless, where did the Invincible forces beat a security coordinator ? In fact you people have real problems, ain't you finding jobs to do to occupy you? Lazy is the twin of poverty so ndc find jobs to do, go john mahama and his brohers to give you jobs. This your actions are boring people and shying them away from your party which is becoming more unattractive. It's like ndc is left with nkwase*fuo nkoaa, everything they doing in opposition is going against their party. Mo'agyimi dodo.
Kwaku Adu or whatever you are called What is the meaning of decentralization? If you see something wrong with it go to court that's your right. Ashanti know how to manage administration from the 15th century and they weren't declared a Kingdom and a nation during that time for nothing. They know what they are doing and they believe in the rule of law so wouldn't go beyond the laws of this country, if they don't have the power they would never have done that. They want discipline in their administration and those affected never accused th of doing the right thing. Look at how they voted for the suspension tell your people to learn from them next time but not guns and cutlasses. They voted for 3 months suspension or 6 or year and the year got majority so gave Oscar 1 year. Nobody or group of people got up out of the blue and gave the suspension to create tension,the deputy coordinating director who was slapped also got punished because he started the whole saga but was pordoned because he showed remorse. That was wisdom in action. You people must learn and stop the hate and envi*us talks.
great news. How about the invincible forces who beat up he security coordinator?
The Assembly cannot impose any sanction on the Dep Coors Director. They have to formally inform the local government service for the service to decide on it.
