The denial follows claims by the MP for Ningo Prampram Constituency, Sam George, that Mr Opoku Prempeh called the Tamale Central MP “a fool” which escalated tension on the floor of parliament.

The Minister of Education, Mathew Opoku Prempeh, has denied calling the Member of Parliament (MP) for Tamale Central, Alhassan Suhuyini, “a fool” after a near-brawl in parliament Thursday.

The denial follows claims by the MP for Ningo Prampram, Sam George, that Mr Opoku Prempeh called the Tamale Central MP “a fool” which escalated tension on the floor of parliament.

In a statement, the Manhyia South MP denied “unequivocally that I used such word on Hon. Suhuyini during the proceedings or at any other time in parliament yesterday [Thursday, March 31, 2017].”

“It must be noted that during yesterday’s proceedings, only four members of Parliament spoke,” he said.
