Following an incident in which Dr. Zanetor Agyeman-Rawlings was allegedly abused during a parliamentary session, Samuel George, the Member of Parliament for Ningo-Prampram, has called on Parliament to act decisively.

On Tuesday, February 4, as Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin was speaking to the House, a voice called her the “daughter of a murderer”. Widespread criticism has been directed at the statement, which is thought to have been made by the minority leader.

He underlined the necessity of a comprehensive inquiry to find and punish the offender in an interview with JoyNews on Saturday, February 8.

“This is very easy to do if we are committed. I think Parliament must do this, and we must set an example,” he stated.

“The Marshals department must produce the CCTV footage of the chamber. It would allow us to see because nobody could have made those comments without some kind of gesticulation,” he added.
