The National Peace Council Chairman, Rev. Emmanuel Asante, has called on the Awutu Senya East MP, Mavis Hawa Koomson, to resign after she admitted firing a gun a voter registration centre in her constituency.
“If she Hawa Koomson doesn’t do that, the President must terminate her appointment,” Rev. Emmanuel Asante spoke on Eyewitness News.
The Peace Council Chairman also urged Parliament to take an interest in how the matter unravelled.
“The privileges committee must take this seriously because she had brought the name of Parliament into disrepute,” he remarked.
Rev. Asante stressed that the MP’s conduct was unconscionable.

“As far as I am concerned, there is no justification for what she did, especially as a lawmaker breaking the law,” he said.
He further reminded that the political leaders needed to set an example ahead of the 2020 election.
“There is no reason why our election should be characterized with violence and the leaders… must lead the way in terms of what they do and in terms of what they say.”
After the confrontation which led to gunshots being fired and motorbikes being burned, Mavis Hawa Koomson explained that she fired a warning shot in self-defence.
