Kennedy Agyapong Not Fit To Be In Parliament - NDC Deputy National Women Organiser

A Deputy National Women Organiser of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Abigail Akwambea Mensah has descended heavily on Assin Central MP, Kennedy Agyapong over some comments he made prior to the death of Tiger Eye P.I's investigative Journalist.

Speaking on Inside Politics on Radio XYZ 93.1 Friday, she observed that the MP cannot feign ignorance of the harm caused the family of the late journalist.

Ahmed Hussein-Suale, a key investigative journalist with Ghana's ace investigative journalist, Anas Aremeyaw Anas' Tiger Eye P.I, was gunned down by unknown assailants at Madina on Wednesday night, after a legislator called for retribution against him.

The unidentified men on motorbikes shot at him three times, twice in the chest and another in the neck while driving home.

Ahmed had investigated corruption in Ghana’s football leagues dubbed ‘Number 12’, which led to a lifetime ban for the former head of Ghana’s Football Association (GFA), Kwesi Nyantakyi.

Assin Central MP Kennedy Agyapong is being fingered by many Ghanaians over the killing, but he has denied inciting assailants against Ahmed whose works have led to many, including renowned judges, losing their jobs in the past few years.

Mr Agyapong, a financier of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) showed the journalist’s face on his own television network,NET 2 TV last year and asked for him to be dealt with. That was after ‘Number 12’ was shown on some national television stations and had stirred controversies over the modus operandi adopted in filming the documentary which had received applause from anti-corruption crusaders.

Agyapong says he only asked that the deceased be stopped from coming to his TV station premises.

Yesterday, he dared the police to pick him up if they knew their job, stressing that it will be "nonsense" for them to pick him up for interrogation.

But reacting to Mr Agyapong's posture and comments after the barbaric act, Abigail Mensah stated that "Kennedy Agyapong is not fit to be in Parliament."

"He doesn't fit to be in the law making chamber to make laws for us in this country. He is uncouth and needs not to be in Parliament," Elorm explained.

To her, the police should invite kennedy Agyapong for calling for retribution against Ahmed.
