The MP also said Sorkpa did not have a lawyer in court when he was sentenced.
"I have decided to take up this matter as a public interest case because this is another failure of our justice system."
In the video showing his arrest after damaging the cars, the Sorkpa could be heard yelling, “Father, have mercy on them. Daddy, they don’t know what they are doing."
Sorkpa faced six charges, including conspiracy to commit unlawful damage.
He pleaded guilty to all the charges in court on Friday, December 20, 2024, leading to his swift conviction.
"Such a person, when arrested, was first to have been medically examined to ascertain his mental state before being arraigned before court," Sosu remarked.
One other, Wisdom Ahli, was arrested at Parliament in connection with damaged vehicles.
He had also caused significant damage to four Land Cruisers belonging to Members of Parliament.
