The Member of Parliament (MP) for Adansi-Asokwa, K.T. Hammond has reacted to public concerns that he slapped the Majority Chief Whip, Frank Annoh-Dompreh, during a parliamentary proceeding on December 22, 2023.
Reacting to the issue, the Minister of Trade and Industry said, “I only made some gestures towards him to allow me to make my point regardless of the time constraints. Parliament had spent the whole day discussing other issues so why was I distracted from making my point to wind up the business of the day.”
He refuted claims that he is a violent person stressing that he has no history of violence and has not been involved in any violent situation.
Mr. K.T. Hammond said Annoh-Dompreh is one of his close confidants in politics and Parliament so he will never react violently towards him.
“I never slapped him. Why will I slap a colleague Member of Parliament? Have you seen me fighting anybody in Parliament as the others did during voting for the Speaker of Parliament and other violent scenes in the house?” the Adansi Asokwa law maker quizzed.
