Adansi Asokwa Member of Parliament (MP) and Trade Minister Kobina Tahir (KT) Hammond has filed a criminal complaint against Ketu North MP Dr. James Klutse Avedzi.
The New Patriotic Party (NPP) legislator has alleged that he was assaulted by his colleague from the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
KT Hammond has since obtained a police medical form for examination at the hospital.
In a video that went viral on X following the indefinite adjournment of proceedings on Thursday, November 7, 2024, some NDC MPs, including Dr. Avedzi, were seen in a quarrel with KT Hammond.
However, it is not clear why Dr. Avedzi has been singled out.
Speaking on the incident, the outspoken politician stated that he was talking to the Minority Leader, Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson, and not to the Ketu North MP.
He therefore did not understand why Dr. Avedzi interrupted and started pushing him, and he has vowed to pursue legal action.
“This man [Mr. Avedzi] came out of nowhere and started pushing me. I kept shouting that he couldn’t push me like that. He pushed me about five times. What did he think he was doing? I have filed a complaint,” he fumed.
