A photo used by the Majority Caucus in Parliament on the issue of tidal waves, which has devasted communities in the Volta Region, nearly started a fight between the two sides at a press conference on Friday.
Deputy Majority Leader, Alexander Afenyo Markin showed a photo of scenes from the disaster caused by the tidal waves to the press. But former Energy Minister, Emmanuel Armah Kofi Buah and South Dayi MP, Rockson Nelson Dafiamekpor started heckling him.
According to them, his claim that the picture does not depict the current state of the Keta coastal area, thus was not taken at the scene, was untrue.
The clash occurred towards the end of the presser when the Bole Bamboi MP, Yusif Sulemana came to snatch the image from Afenyo Markin, and handed it over to Dafeamekpor.
Nhyeaso MP, Stephen Amoah, then followed up to retrieve the image from Mr Nelson Dafeamekpor. This led to a brawl.
Mr Afenyo Markin was then seen asking Mr Rockson Dafeamekpor to hand over the image to him.
The latter obliged and Afenyo Markin left.
