Shortly after a Koforidua High Court issued a bench warrant for his arrest on Wednesday, February 19, following his conviction for contempt of court, the presumed winner of the Akwatia parliamentary seat in the Eastern region, Ernest Yaw Kumi entered Parliament and quietly sneaked out after a few minutes.

JoyNews' Kwaku Asante captured the MP packing his items and leaving the chamber barely a minute after he entered the House, which was in session.

In an attempt to speak to the MP, he flared up and chastised Kwaku Asante.

The court issued the bench warrant for Mr Kumi's arrest after he failed to attend court.
