Assin Central Member of Parliament, Kennedy Agyapong failed to show up in court today over his alleged contempt case.
Lead counsel for the MP’s legal team Kwame Gyan, citing Covid-19 complications, made available a medical and excuse duty report to the court as evidence for the legislator’s absence.
“Indeed a medical excuse duty and attached form has been attached to a cover letter and medical report under the seal of counsel asking for a 14-day adjournment from, September 26 to October 10, 2020.
The court said, “under the circumstance granted the request and adjourned the case.”
The court, has however, summoned the medical doctor of Holy Trinity Medical Centre/Spa and Health to appear before it on October 1, to speak to the medical excuse duty of Ken Agyapong.
The court said “We have to create a good country for ourselves. The way excuse duties reports are written these days, somebody must speak to it.”
