The Mankrado of Battor, Togbe Borbordzi Xevi VII, has called on the Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin, to identify and recommend sanctions for the Member of Parliament (MP) who made a derogatory statement about Zanetor Rawlings, the MP for Klottey-Korle.

The chief strongly condemned the insult and suggested that the Speaker should act swiftly to identify the perpetrator and use the standing orders of the House to punish the individual, serving as a deterrent to others.

"We believe in you; prove your leadership and bring that person to justice, so that this never happens again," Togbe Borbordzi said over the weekend during a press conference he organised at Ashaiman to speak on the matter.

He further advised that such comments should not be prioritised, as members of both the NDC and the NPP are related. He expressed his concern that MPs should not be instigating misunderstanding among the public while privately maintaining friendly relations with their colleagues.

"NDC and NPP share one father and one mother; they should not provoke the people outside and then go behind the scenes to work together," he said.

The incident occurred during parliamentary proceedings on Tuesday, 4th February, when a male voice was heard shouting repeatedly, “Daughter of a murderer, sit down!” as Zanetor Agyeman-Rawlings, the first child of the late former president Jerry John Rawlings, stood to speak.

The attack took place during a heated discussion surrounding the 60th anniversary of the death of Joseph Boakye Danquah.

Since last week, individuals, groups, and traditional authorities have condemned the act and urged the Speaker of Parliament to identify the person responsible and ensure justice is served.

The Minister of Communications and Ningo-Prampram MP, Samuel George, has also called on Parliament to set an example in this matter. He has called for a thorough investigation into the incident, stressing that holding the culprit accountable is crucial to upholding the integrity of the House.

Chiefs of Anlo have also condemned the act and called on the Speaker to take action or risk the chiefs deciding what steps next to take themselves.
