Muntaka Mubarak, the Minority Chief Whip has questioned why the Member of Parliament for Assin Central, Kennedy Agyapong, is not facing trial for some comments he made about the late investigative journalist, Ahmed Hussein Suale.
Hussein Suale became the subject of attacks and abuse by Kennedy Agyapong following his role in the Number12 documentary which uncovered deep-rooted corruption at the Ghana Football Association.
Kennedy Agyapong made certain remarks which were understood by some persons as threats to the life of the journalist.
On January 19, 2019, Suale was cold-bloodedly murdered by yet-to-be-identified assailants with police offering little update on investigations so far.
Muntaka Mubarak in a question to Kojo Oppong Nkrumah probed why he is not concerned that the man who allegedly threatened a journalist is walking free after the death of the journalist.
Muntaka premised his question on the fact that Samuel Ofosu Ampofo, the Chairman of the National Democratic Congress, is facing trial for allegedly threatening Jean Mensa, the Chairperson of the Electoral Commission.
He could not fathom why Kennedy Agyapong is walking a free man when Ofosu Ampofo is in court.
“When journalists on Montie FM allegedly threatened the president, they were made to face prosecution. When Samuel Ofosu Ampofo allegedly made comments that threatened the EC, he is facing trial. So why is our colleague Kennedy Agyapong not facing trial for comments made before Suale's murder,” he quizzed Oppong Nkrumah who appeared before the Appointment Committee for his vetting.
Oppong Nkrumah, however, remarked that such issues lie within the purview of the police and that he cannot comment on matters of investigation.

BY FAR THE MOST D1$HOUNOURABLE SOUL IN GHANA'S PARLIAMENT. $HAM£LESS L1AR WHO CAN ONLY BELONG TO NONE OTHER THAN THE NDC.
HAS MUNTAKA FORGOTTEN SO SOON WHEN HE MADE FALSE ALEGATIONS AGAINST THE LAWYERS, THE DOUBLE SALARY THEY TOOK DURING MAHAMA'S ERA WHEN HARUNA IDRISU WENT TO BEG NANA ADDO NOT TO PUT THEM IN PRISON. A ***barred word*** MAN LIKE HIM WANT KENNEDY AGYAPONG TO BE IN PRISON. HE CAN GO TO HELL.
WHY IS MUNTAKA ALSO NOT FACING TRIAL FOR HIS "PAMPAS" AND "KYINKYINGA" ? wHY IS MUNTAKA NOT FACING TRIAL FOR MAKING THAT SCANDALOUS STATEMENT ONLY TO BACKTRACK? REMEMBER YOU ARE BEHAVING AS A TIN GOD KICKING BALLOT BOXES HERE AND THERE. YOU JUSTIFY YOUR WIERD ACTIONS BUT YOU ARE QUICK TO CONDEMN THE UTTERANCES OF OTHERS. IF YOU HAVE ANY FINDINGS AGAINST KEN MAKE IT AVAILABLE TO THE LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES.
