Damongo Member of Parliament, Samuel Abu Jinapor, has strongly denied accusations that he was behind the derogatory remarks aimed at Korle-Klottey MP, Dr. Zanetor Agyeman-Rawlings, during a parliamentary session on Tuesday.

The remarks, which included a claim that Dr. Agyeman-Rawlings was the "daughter of a murderer," have sparked controversy and social media criticism.

The incident occurred during a heated debate to commemorate the 60th anniversary of Joseph Boakye Danquah's passing, which quickly escalated into a confrontation between MPs, revealing intense political tensions.

The clash began when Tamale Central MP Ibrahim Murtala Muhammed criticized the Minority's tributes to Danquah, leading to verbal exchanges and the Speaker of Parliament, Andrew Asiamah, restricting contributions to parliamentary leadership.

Despite these restrictions, chaos continued, with Dr. Agyeman-Rawlings rising to contribute but being ignored by the Speaker. This further fueled the disorder as interruptions and a particularly offensive remark from an unidentified voice in the Minority side ensued.

The comment, "daughter of a murderer," aimed at Dr. Agyeman-Rawlings, drew significant backlash, with many on social media pointing fingers at Jinapor as the one behind the words.

In response, Jinapor rejected the accusations, urging the public to disregard the claims. He posted on social media, saying, "For the record, the said allegation is absolutely false." He further emphasized his respect for both former President Jerry John Rawlings and his family, particularly Dr. Zanetor Rawlings.

"While he was alive, President Rawlings was someone who took a great likening and interest in me as a young politician and I had great respect for him as a Ghanaian Statesman. I have and will not denigrate the Rawlings’s in any form or shape and any Ghanaian for that matter," Jinapor stated.

The Damongo MP reiterated, "That is not in my nature. I have always believed in decent debates and intellectual discourse in Ghanaian public life and Parliament especially, devoid of insults and character assassination!"
