Why Can’t Akufo-Addo, NPP Dissociate Themselves From Kennedy Agyapong’s ‘Reckless’ Comments – Apaak Quizzes
Legislator for Builsa South Constituency, Clement Apaak has bemoaned the President and the New Patriotic Party’s failure to officially dissociate themselves from certain reckless statements made by Assin Central lawmaker, Kennedy Agyapong.
He wondered what the NPP and President Akufo-Addo have been benefitting from Mr Agyapong’s actions and why it’s so difficult to call him to order.
Mr Agyapong has been referred to the privileges committee of Parliament after he threatened a Multimedia journalist.
Speaking on TV3, Mr Apaak said “the issue of honorable Kennedy Agyapong is an issue that should concern any Ghanaian and unless we want to play the ostrich, we must admit that his pronouncements constantly, his conducts constantly has always bordered on issues of threats, issues of blackmail, issues of intimidation and it’s as though he is a demigod unto himself that even the powers that be are afraid to hold him accountable and to tell him that his conduct is unacceptable.”
He continued: “First of all Kennedy Agyapong is not an ordinary Member of Parliament. We all know that we also know that he is a very important member of the ruling NPP. He says it himself about his capacity, what he can do and what he has done. You know all of these that we are talking about, from the threat on Ahmed Suale, the way he treated Anas with his own counter initiative and all the other persons who have been victims of his pronouncements, have you ever heard the NPP officially disassociate or condemn his conducts? They can’t for whatever reason.”
