Afenyo-Markin vs. Jinapor: The “dirty” verbal altercation between two close friends in parliament

“You are my friend, at least. I won’t do that, you know that. Thus, when I bring up these points, it’s important—very important. Thus, Mr. Speaker, we are dealing with a situation in which we are begging that we not politicize the distribution of these products,” he continued.

Afenyo-Markin:

This is the House of Records, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, all he did to support his position was to show us a picture of a person standing someplace with specific objects behind them. With all due respect, Mr. Speaker—we are aware of the rules—would my esteemed colleague please withdraw that portion of his submission? Since it’s only right, I’m submitting an application.

It is quite evident that the honorable member is prepared to provide the video evidence. Therefore, there isn’t anything to dispute. He is prepared to give it to this House having provided video proof to support his claims. It serves no purpose to argue.

Afenyo-Markin:

“Mr. Speaker, the minister’s statement, which you acknowledged, was admitted in accordance with Order 72. And we are required by regulation, Mr. Speaker, to confine our comments to that statement. That is precisely what our policies state.

Thus, you are not allowed to bring forward novel or contentious topics. Bring up issues of factual accuracy, Mr. Speaker. If we let this remain in the records, Mr. Speaker, it will be equivalent to allowing any member a blank check to come up here and say anything just by presenting us with a picture.

We have that liberty in this House now, Mr. Speaker. He might not be a member of parliament tomorrow, and someone else might be, and they might say certain things.
