The Member of Parliament for Kumawu in the Ashanti Region, Ernest Yaw Anim, has called on the Ghana Education Service (GES) to immediately investigate a viral video showing two male teachers physically fighting over a female colleague.
The incident, captured in a video that has since gone viral, took place at Pepease D/A Junior High School. The footage shows the two teachers exchanging blows inside a classroom, reportedly over relationship issues.
In an interview with Citi News on Friday, June 20, the MP described the incident as unfortunate, shameful, and highly unprofessional. He expressed deep concern over the teachers’ conduct, especially given that the fight occurred in front of students.
“The videos went viral yesterday, and findings indicate that they were fighting over a female colleague on relationship matters. It is a very disgraceful act. I feel it is not the best for our community,” he stated.
He further stressed that the GES must take swift action to address the matter.
“As a teacher, if you can fight in front of students because of a girl, then this matter must be looked into, and action must be taken against it. I will urge that a committee be set up to invite the two teachers, and a sanction should be meted out to them. I am looking at a matter of two weeks for the issue to be dealt with,” the MP added.
