    Majority Chief Mahama Ayariga is looking for disciplinary motion in opposition to New Patriotic Social gathering (NPP) backbenchers following their continued silence over an offensive comment made in Parliament earlier this yr.

    Talking on the ground of the Home on Tuesday, Could 27, after Parliament resumed sitting, Mr. Ayariga urged that each one NPP backbenchers current on the day in query be referred to the Privileges Committee for investigation over what he described as a “breach of privilege.”

    In accordance with him, regardless of a one-week ultimatum from the Speaker of Parliament for the person accountable to personal up, nobody has taken accountability. He insisted that the Majority Caucus is not going to enable the matter to go unresolved.

    “The Majority Caucus will demand that each one the NPP members of the backbench who had been sitting within the path the place the unsavory assertion got here from must be referred to the Privileges Committee for investigation of a contempt and breach of the privileges of a member,” he said.

    Reiterating the Nationwide Democratic Congress (NDC) caucus’s stance, Mr. Ayariga condemned the comment and described it as a disgraceful second within the Home’s current historical past.

    Background

    The controversy surrounds the “daughter of a assassin” remark made in Parliament, a derogatory comment directed at Dr. Zanetor Agyeman-Rawlings, the Member of Parliament for Klottey Korle and daughter of the late former President Jerry John Rawlings.

    The incident occurred throughout a parliamentary session on February 4, amid heated discussions commemorating the sixtieth anniversary of the demise of Joseph Boakye Danquah.

    As Minority Chief Alexander Afenyo-Markin addressed the Home, an unidentified male voice from the parliamentary backbench interrupted, shouting, “Daughter of a assassin, sit down!”

    The remark insinuated that Dr. Agyeman-Rawlings’ father was chargeable for previous political killings—a declare that has lengthy been the topic of historic debate.

    The outburst triggered quick chaos within the chamber, with members expressing shock and disapproval.

    The Speaker of Parliament subsequently issued a one-week ultimatum for the MP accountable to voluntarily come ahead or face extreme penalties.

    Thus far, no MP has owned as much as making the assertion.
