According to him, what happened was not in the best interest of the country's parliamentary democracy.

There was drama in Parliament between Kennedy Agyapong and Mubarak Muntaka when the latter dragged the Assin Central MP to the Privileges Committee.

The two legislators before parliamentary proceedings started on Wednesday hurled insults at each other on the floor of the house.

They had to be physically restrained by colleague MPs from attacking and assaulting each other as Agyapong threatened to deal with Muntaka Mubarak.

In a video which has gone viral on social media, the two MPs were seen in a heated verbal exchanges in Twi amidst threats.
