The attention of the Jospong Group of Companies has been drawn to media publications that a bench warrant has been issued for the arrest of for allegedly refusing to appear before a Kumasi High Court.
The JOSPONG Group of companies hereby assures all Ghanaians that their Executive Chairman; Dr Agyepong is a law abiding citizen who has the highest level of respect for all persons and institutions of government.
The JOSPONG Group of companies further state that Dr. Agyepong holds in the highest regard, the judiciary which is entrusted with the constitutional mandate of protecting the rights of every citizen of the Republic of Ghana.
The absence of Dr. Agyepong from court on the date of the hearing was not deliberate, the reason being that Dr. Agyepong had no notice of the proceedings. The Executive Chairman of the JOSPONG Group of Companies has accordingly instructed his lawyers to vehemently contest the proceedings which, upon the advice of his lawyers have been instituted in bad faith and deliberately being given publicity only for purposes of mischief and to cause public disaffection for Dr. Agyepong.
We therefore hereby implore the public to disregard the erroneous impression that the publication sought to portray to the effect that the Executive Chairman deliberately refused to appear before the Honourable Court.
As a responsible citizen of the Ghana, the Executive Chairman will always avail himself for any exercise aimed at entrenching the rule of law in this nation.
We believe this is one of the numerous attempts by some people to maliciously tarnish the image of the Executive Chairman and the public should therefore reject it with the disdain it deserves.

The whole story smacks of mischief on the part of the reporter, am utterly shocked that one's absence from a court hearing will be so much publicized and given such illumination on such a media portal. An incidence that took place in 2015 is being reported as if the man was actually involved in the case. The said company mentioned has an MD I guess. This media house clearly has an agenda.
@ ronnie just read between lines. The publications sort and used the name of Jospong Group of Companies and hence why the defence. In any case if at all materials times the information as put out by the dailies knows that companies and its shareholders are distinct and separate as we know why will the dailies used jospong in their reportage. The man has directed his lawyers to go further to it. Lets wait and see before any judgement
No proper judge will ever issue a bench warrant for failure to appear in court on a given date...unless proof of service is on the docket. And if the warrant is for the arrest of Agyapong, why is jospong group jumping to his defence? It is trite that companies and their shareholders are distinct and separate
