The Propaganda Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the Ketu South Constituency of the Volta Region, Sylvester Kafui has accused the Member of Parliament for Ho West, Mr. Emmanuel Kwesi Bedzrah of assaulting him at a regional party meeting on Tuesday. The Volta Regional branch of the NDC held a meeting on Tuesday to declare its support for the candidacy of President Mills in the 2012 General Elections. Narrating the events leading to the alleged assault on him on Adom FM’s Dwaso Nsem Wednesday, Sylvester Kafui stated that during the meeting, he rose to ask for an amendment to a motion being moved by the party executives for mass endorsement of President Mills for the NDC's presidential primaries but attracted the wrath of the MP who attempted to drag him out of the meeting hall. He explained that after the meeting he was accosted by Mr. Bedzrah who held him by the shirt, shook him violently tearing his shirt buttons in the process and threatened him to leave the meeting grounds if he didn't want to co-operate. He said he spilled his food as a result of the attack. Mr. Kafui intimated that when he decided to report the assault to the police he was counseled to allow party executives settle it amicably. He is however contemplating going to the police station as no one has spoken to him since the incident took place. But the Mr. Bedzrah has described the accusation as untrue insisting that his calm demeanour is at variance with what he is being accused of. Telling his side of the story, the MP said Kafui showed gross disrespect by interrupting the Regional Minister who was speaking at the time and he only asked him to walk out if he could not wait for the Regional Minister to complete his submission. According to the MP, Kafui walked up to him after the meeting and told him he is a disgrace of an MP but he (Bedzrah) simply thanked Kafui and turned away. He said there was no reason for him to attack his colleague over the issue and that people have the right to support whoever they want to. The Volta Regional Minister Joseph Amenowode who was at the meeting described Sylvester Kafui as the "most dishonest person on earth" for saying that he was prevented from talking at the meeting. The Minister said he personally called Kafui to voice his concerns and all the Propaganda Secretary said was that the party executives should listen to dissenting views. The Regional Minister however did not deny or confirm whether Mr. Bedzrah attacked Sylvester Kafui after the meeting. Story by Derick Romeo Adogla/Myjoyonline.com/Ghana
