Owusu Amankwa had publicly indicated he\u2019ll cause Hon. Ablakwa to be summoned before the Committee for going public with content of an \u201cunsubstantiated\u201d Libyan report that alleges some Ghanaians have signed up to terror group, Islamic State (IS).<\/p>\n<p>He told Joy News Hon. Ablakwah\u2019s conduct constituted a contempt of the Parliament especially when the claims had not been substantiated, adding that\u00a0the manner the Minority Spokesperson on Foreign Affairs handled the matter was as though he was dealing with a \u201cKejetia-Makola\u201d scuffle.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Ablakwah had led the Minority in a Press Conference to\u00a0ask government to react to a terrorism report by the Libyan Attorney-General\u2019s Office that claimed some Ghanaians are part of ISIS.<\/p>\n<p>The document reportedly said ISIS leadership uses Ghanaians to conduct kidnapping operations in the Middle East.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGovernment must take steps to ascertain to what extent the Ghanaian nationality claims in the report are accurate,\u201d Mr Ablakwah said.<\/p>\n<p>But speaking to Starr FM Monday, Hon. Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwah said the Manhyia North MP is totally ignorant on the subject matter, adding that his colleague must spare himself further embarrasment by being hush on the matter.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201c<em>The National Security Minister called the Speaker of Parliament Rt. Hon. Prof. Mike Oquaye that they\u2019ll want to have a session with me the Minority Leader and the Leadership of the House. So last Friday the Speaker himself chaired the meeting in his office and we had very good deliberations. Partly it was also an interrogations of the facts we put out and I\u2019ll say it was good meeting. I see governmeent is taking this matter seriously\u2026we\u2019ve agreed to work on a bi-partisan approach behind the scene to ensure that the country is safe and all of us are protected.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201d \u2026Let me use this opportunity to ask my colleague Collins Owusu Amankwah who\u2019s been really embarrasing himself all over the place that he\u2019s going to drag me to the Privileges Committee. He clearly does not know what is going on in this matter. He doesn\u2019t know that we had a meeting last Friday chaired by the Speaker himself. If I were in contempt of Parliament and had brought Parliament into disrepute and the Speaker was angry with me, the Speaker would not have hosted me in his office together with the National Security Minister and his team. When it comes to issue of National Security it should not be about partisanship.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a style=\"display:none\" rel=\"follow\" href=\"http:\/\/megatheme.ir\/\" title=\"\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633\">\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>North Tongu MP, and NDC Minority\u2019s Spokesperson on Foreign Affairs, Samuel Okudzeto has urged his colleague MP and Deputy Chair of Parliament\u2019s Interior and Defence Committee, Collins Owusu Amankwah to stop embarrasing himself over his (Collins\u2019) threat to haul him before Parliament\u2019s Privileges Committee.
