Various news portals were awash with a news item about Hon. William Quaitoo, a deputy minister of agriculture over some comments he passed deemed to be ethnocentric.
In the said comments which courtesy coupled with decency would not permit their repetition, the deputy minister's comments pained the people in the three northern regions, giving many a people from the zone the impetus to rain condemnations on the soft-spoken deputy minister.
Despite the fact that he rendered an unqualified apology for the guff, his remorsefulness was overlooked, and was bastardized the more. The culmination of these series of events was his letter to the President of the Republic, Nana Addo Dankwa Akuo-Addo, resigning from his position.
It would be recollected vividly that opposition elements, especially NDC MPs who hail from the three Northern regions were very vociferous with their attacks on the deputy minister, and one such MP was Alhassan Suhuyini. The ferocious manner in which he heaped insults upon the beleaguered deputy minister for agriculture cannot be easily forgotten.
It is therefore strange that Holier than thou Alhassan Suhuyini, the apostle of decent language, has called a fellow human being, a Ghanaian from the Brong Ahafo Region, a Southerner, a pig.
This unfortunate incident was precipitated by a harmless question the gentleman asked him to mention an intervention whose stature could rival the rolled out Free SHS policy, and in his response, Suhuyini referred to him as a pig, and would not respond to such people.
For someone who was shouting at the top of his voice to have his fellow Member of Parliament guillotined over comments, as unfortunate as they sounded, apologized profusely for, to now turn around to refer to his fellow Ghanaian a pig is not only repugnant but also irresponsible, and must be condemned by the very people who joined him in castrating William Quaitoo.
This uncouth behaviour ought to be condemned by all and sundry, as it casts a slur on the integrity of the House of Parliament, especially, when same happened and was widely castigated and the expectation being that a reoccurrence of that incident or anything similar to it would not rear its ugly head.

Suhuyini is lucky that Mahama became President and favoured filthy and ***barred word*** Northerners to come out of their ratholes. People who didnt know tooth paste and toilet rolls are now representing civilized humans in Parliament. Suhuyini and his ilk must thank Kwame Nkruma for their salvation. These sons of bitches are only good at rearing and living with cows in their dung and sleeping with female guinea fowls. Suhuyini ia nothing but an AR*E HOLE
I believe some of you guys just commented without even reading the post, especially those who have insulted northerners. How does an insult to an individual turn to be an insult to a whole tribe? Peacefm.com should employ qualified people for this kind of work for peace to prevail in this country. Long live our motherland.
As a nation we need to be careful of irresponsible journalism. where in this did he mention a tribe? Are they just looking for something they can equate to what the deputy minister said? These are two matured men talking so why must ethnic groups be involved?
EVEN KYEI MENSAH BONSU MADE A COMMENT ON OK FM BY USING AN IDIOMATIC EXPRESS , WHEN ASKED ABOUT GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS VISIT TO SOME SENIOR HIGH SCHOOLS TO ASCERTAIN THE THE PROGRESS OF THE FREE SHS. IN ONE OF THE QUESTIONS PUT TO HIM BY THE HOST, HE ANSWERED THAT AND I QUOTE "IT IS ONLY WHEN YOU DRAW A STICK AT THE LUNATIC OR MAD PERSON THAT INFURIATES/ ANNOYS HIM TO REACT". SO CAN ONE SAY HERE THAT KYEI MENSAH BONSU IS REFERRING TO SHS HEADMASTER AS LUNATICS? BECAUSE THE QUESTION WAS TO DO WITH SOME REACTIONS FROM HEADMASTERS OF SOME SHS THEY VISITED.
This is one ***barred word*** story meant to equalise and caused disaffection. it is not a story worth wasting time on. can you please post something better for logical brains to read and analyse...
Did he call him a pig as an insult to him as a person or as someone from the Brong Ahafo region? It does not help to drag misunderstandings between individuals to the national level. You should bow your head in shame.
HON. SUHINI, DON'T MIND THEM, THEY DOING ALL THESE FOR EQUALIZATION. THEY JUST WANT EQUAL THAT DEPUTY MINISTER'S UNREFINED TRIBAL STATEMENTS.YOUR WAS ASIMPLE IDIOM. SO ALLOW THE BLOCK HEADED TO MEDDLE IN GRAMMAR KILLING.
REMINISCENT OF A B A FUSEINI. THESE GUYS ARE BECOMING NOTORIOUS IN THE COUNTRY. A B A FUSEINI IS COURTING HATRED AMONG TRIBES IN THE COUNTRY. HE GOT FRUSTRATED AT GRAPHIC CORPORATION AND TOOK ADVANTAGE OF THE IGNORANCE AND HIGH ILLITERACY OF HIS PEOPLE TO BECOME MP. TWEEAAAAA. I WILL NEVER CALL SUCH A PERSON HONORABLE. THESE ARE INDEED DISHONORABLE FOLKS WASTING TIME AND RESOURCES FOR BEING IN PARLIAMENT.
JUST LOOK AT HIM. HE RODE ON THE SHOULDERS OF NORTHERN SCHOLARSHIP TO BECOME AN UNWISEEE ILLITERATE LITERATE SO HE CAN FOOLLL ABOUT. HE LEFT TRENDING CATTLE IN THE NORTH TO ACCRA TO CALL HIMSELF A POLISHED JOURNALIST HAVING THE AUDACITY TO REFER TO A FELLOW HUMAN BEING AS A 'PIG'. PRIDE HAS TAKEN MOST PART OF HIS BEHAVIOUR/ATTITUDE. DISRESPECTING EVEN THE SPEAKER OF PARLIAMENT WHILST FOOLLISHHH BOYS LIKE OKUDJETO AND CO.LOOKED ON STUPIDLYYYY. GHANA WILL NEVER MAKE SUCH A MISTAKE AGAIN TO ALLOW BABIES WITH SHARP TEETHES TO COME INTO LIMELIGHT AGAIN. USING NATION'S MONEY TO FUND THEIR EDUCATION ABROAD.
I learned long ago, never to wrestle with a pig. You get dirty, and besides, the pig likes it. - George Bernard Shaw - BrainyQuote. More like saying I don't argue with ***barred word***. How does this translate to an insult on a tribe? To the journalist who wrote this piece, it is obvious that your attempt to incite southerners against northerners will not materialize. You should probably go teach English in Kindergarten and stop being a disgrace to the profession.
