According to a Ghanaian citizen and resident of Cape Coast, Kwesi Dawood, the two MPs are the Assin Central and Awutu Senya East, Kennedy Agyapong and Mavis Hawa Koomson.
He said: “there is prima facie evidence showing specific unruly actions taken by the said Members of Parliament which are un-parliamentary, inimical to democracy, pose a grave danger to life and property of citizens of Ghana as well as a threat to the peace and security of the State”.
Citing reasons, he said the MP for Awutu Senya East, Hawa Koomson should be investigated for physically assaulting some persons at a polling station in the Awutu Senya East Constituency during the voter registration exercise last year.
