I didn’t slap Annoh-Dompreh; I only made gesticulations towards him – KT Hammond

The Member of Parliament for the Adansi Asokwa constituency, KT Hammond, has responded to a viral video that showed him fending off the Majority Chief Whip, Frank Annoh-Dompreh, during a parliamentary proceeding on December 22, 2023.

KT Hammond insisted that Annoh-Dompreh is one of his close confidants in politics and in Parliament, so he will never react violently towards him.

Why would I slap a colleague Member of Parliament

Have you seen me fighting anybody in Parliament as others did during voting for the Speaker of Parliament and other violent scenes in the house?” the Adansi Asokwa lawmaker quizzed.

When successful, the MP, who first entered Parliament in 2001, will be serving his 7th term in the house

Hammond, this will create a void in Parliament and affect the quality of work in Parliament.

He said the legislators have made invaluable contributions to the house; hence, losing them will create a vacuum in the house.
