I am sorry and I apologize to all MPs and good people of Ghana – K.T. Hammond

The Member of Parliament for Adansi Asokwa, K.T Hammond has apologized to Ghanaians and Members of Parliament for his outburst on the floor of Parliament on Wednesday.

“I want to use your platform to express my unqualified apology to the good people of Ghana. I am sorry and I apologize to all of them (Members of Parliament) and indeed to the good people of Ghana and to my very good friend the speaker,” he said.

Hon. KT Hammond, on Wednesday threw caution to the wind as he verbally assaulted the Majority Leader, Dr. Ben Kumbour who addressed the issue of corruption among politicians in the country.

According to Dr. Ben Kumbour, “corruption is seen as the disease of the political elite of this country” saying it has been confirmed by the “drill ship and Woyome placards” on the floor of Parliament

Although the Speaker of Parliament, Edward Doe Adjaho explained that the placards were displayed by both the Minority and the Majority, therefore could not be said to be targeted at any particular side of the House, KT Hammond in response disagreed with the assertion which resulted in some exchange of words on the floor of Parliament.

In an interview with Citi FM’s Parliamentary correspondent, Richard Dela Sky, Mr. Hammond remorsefully said although the issue of the drill ship is a very sensitive issue to him because it had been linked to corruption, his outburst was still not of the “best behavior.”

He indicated that he was really sorry for the behavior he put up since that could in one way or the other, affect the people around him as well as those who have helped him come this far.

“… to really sally the brand the way I have contrived in my own way to do, I think calls for some sort of apology to those who have created the brand,” he added.

K. T Hammond who also described the Speaker of Parliament, Hon. Doe Adjaho as someone who has always supported him deserves his “unqualified apology.”

He further stated that he has apologized to that Majority Leader Mr. Ben Kumbour.
