Despite admitting to saying Parliament is cheap, the lawmaker denied describing the House as useless.
This was after he was found guilty of contempt of Parliament by the Privileges Committee.
Meanwhile, the controversial legislator was only reprimanded after the Committee decided not to go for expulsion as his punishment.
Earlier, the Privileges Committee was split 10-10 on whether to reprimand Mr. Agyapong or suspend him for the rest of the year.
However, after extensive deliberations, the committee decided to only reprimand the MP because he had already apologised.
