The Member of Parliament (MP) for Assin Central Constituency, Kennedy Ohene Agyapong, has eaten humble pie and asked for forgiveness after he was dragged to the Chief Justice for insulting a High Court judge, Sulemana Issifu, after an injunction granted against him over a piece of land.
He has been summoned for contempt after being accused of calling him “stupid” on a television station.
The outspoken MP is said to have “scandalised” and “threatened” the judge and, by extension, the court in an ongoing land case which he claimed Justice Wuni gave a judgement without his knowledge.
