'Corrupt' Anas?
It will be recalled that in the lead-up to the premiere of Anas' #Number12: ‘When Greed and Corruption Become the Norm' exposé on Ghana football on last Wedesday, June 6th, Ken Agyapong descended heavily and criticized the investigative journalist on media platforms belonging to him as well as others and accusing him of alleged corrupt acts in his operations.
He strongly held the view that Anas’ method of investigation is wrong because he lures his victims into a trap.
He also accused Anas of being corrupt and even vowed to unmask Anas and has even shared some photos of a man he claimed is Anas.
To him, Anas sets his victims up to take bribes with the aim to destroy their reputation.

The blackman is too greedy... the chop chop is too much. How can you build circle interchange for a quarter of a billion dollars? How? Even Nyantakyi was surprised hahaha. He said an interchange in New York is more expensive than Ghana. And people are blaming Anas? Oh Awurade. Our sisters and wives go for job interviews and people have to sleep with them first otherwise they don't get jobs. Go and ask the number of "good" girls sitting at home umemployed because they won't give in. In another countries you as the boss won't even dare complementing your female worker. You are even afraid to meeting with her alone in the office with the door shut.
I can see so many commentators here are inherently corrupt and that is typical of average Ghanaian. If you work a white color job in America for at least 5 years, any trace of corruption in your DNA would have left after that period. The system does not expose you to corruption. You get your pay check weekly or biweekly and that is it. No allowances. You use part of your salary to foot all your bills. THAT IS WHAT SHOULD BE INTRODUCED IN GHANA. I live on my paycheck alone. I dont look elsewhere for any supplementary income. No employer sleeps with a lady before emplying her, that is kriminal. You dare not do that.
THE NONSEENSE OF MAKING UNFOUNDED ALLEGATIONS IN THE COUNTRY BABOUT HARD WORKING PEOPLE MUST STOP
Anas has to told in the face bluntly that his methodology is as bad as himself. it is only in Ghana that people support bogusss methodologies used to entrap people by Anas. THOSE SUPPORTING HIM ARE YOU OKAY?
@Abban my thoughts exactly. Undercover journalism is done across the world. And who in his right mind will say Nyantakyi was entrapped? Did you see the greed in his eyes? And how he was busily packing the $65000? What is wrong is wrong. I know some bosses in Ghana that you won't dare take money to them. We need to think Ghana! If it will take Anas for our conscience to prink us when we are taking bribes then so be it. If you are afraid of being trapped then don't take the bribe. How difficult is that?
ken Agyapomg is the best pharisee and hypocrite I have ever seen in Ghana. To him, anyone who doesn't support him is a ***barred word***. He called parliament "***barred word***" and NPP as a "***barred word***" party. Mr Ken, why are you an MP or NPP member then? Can we also conclude that you are also a ***barred word***? Barking like a dog doesn't make you a wise man. You told AFia Schwarzinigar she has a ***barred word*** ***barred word***, yet you called yourself a wise man. You a disgraced man. These class one attitude of yours must stop now.Anything that doesn't favor you is bad. Well, you cannot be wiser than all the people in Ghana. For your info, you are under surveillance so watch your steps. #Corruptionmuststop
To be honest, some of the threats Ken issues on air are very serious and You cannot do that in any other civilized society. He has insulted and threatened some many prominent people in Ghana with very wild allegations- Kufour, Mpianim, Mahama, Ibrahim, Ken Attafuah, the list is endless. It seems like it has to be his way or no way. He criticized Anas for having property but he alone claims he has 130 houses in Ghana and that he made his money by driving taxis in America and washing dishes. Anybody who has lived outside before will tell you is impossible to make those kind of monies from those jobs. He claims Anas is sleeping with somebody's wife... How many babymamas does Ken have? He is not fighting for Ghana, he is using his mind to make more money. After all the noise he made about Ibrahim, can you believe the min of energy gave his wife ghc 100 million sole sourced contract? Master we are not ***barred word***
HMM.. YOUR INTENTION TO BRIBE SOMEONE IS EVEN AGAINST THE LAW. ANAS MUST BE CAREFUL ON THE NEXT STEP HE IS TAKING IT TO AND ALSO BE CAREFUL ON ANY UNDERCOVER INVESTIGATION HE PLANS IN THE FUTURE. I REALLY SUPPORT KEN TO SHOW HIS PROVE TO THE PUBLIC BEFORE EVEN GOING TO SHOW TO THE COURT.
Please lets face facts, truth and be honest. All the people who claim Anas lure culprits into bribery act, are culprits not aware of the rules and regulations governing their organisations. Lets speak the truth and stop creating expensive jokes when there are serious issues to talk about. Honestly, the constitution some lawyers always refer to, has some serious problems and need to be looked at again. Anas method has always being adopted even before Anas was born. Please go and read my brothers and sisters. Anas has brought out the true colors of the sporting fraternity in Africa. it is sad some Ghanaians are talking about wrong methodology. If u are honest will u take bribe when given or lured. Please be citizens not spectators. Asem se b3.
Here are some stunning claims Nyantakyi made about Akufo- Addo to the undercover investigators: 1. Akufo-Addo is broke Nyatankyi claimed Akufo-Addo sold most of his property to finance the 2016 election. As such, he said the president was broke 2. Akufo-Addo is open to pocketing a $5 million bribe Nyantakyi said he had been reliably informed by Anthony Karbo, the deputy roads and highways minister, that given Akufo-Addo's dire financial situation, he would greatly appreciate a $5 million dollar "gift" and in turn approve lucrative contracts for Nyantakyi and his team. 3. Akufo-Addo's family members are complaining of hardship The GFA president said Akufo-Addo's family members were complaining of hardship because they sold their property to support Akufo-Addo's presidential campaign in 2016 4. Contractors give five per cent kickback to Akufo-Addo's brothers Nyantakyi said the government was delaying in paying many government contractors for work done. He said to get around the problem, some of the contractors would go to Akufo-Addo's brothers and pledge to give them five per cent of the money the government owed to them. The GFA president said Akufo-Addo’s brothers would then use their access to the seat of government to facilitate the quick payment of the contractors’ money in exchange for the five per cent cut 5. Kennedy Ayapong is one of Akufo-Addo's biggest financiers The GFA president said Kennedy Agyapong was one of Akufo-Addo biggest financiers. He said such was Kennedy's importance to the NPP that he could condemn the government without any repercussion. He said whenever Assin Central MP insulted the government, they begged him instead of taking punitive action against him. 6. Akufo-Addo granted Kennedy Agyapong control of the transport. Nyantakyi claimed so great was Agyapong's financial contribution to Akufo-Addo's campaign that the president created the Ministry of Transport for him (Agyapong) to control. He said Agyapong simply nominated one of his "boys" to head the ministry, since he considered himself undisciplined to be a minister. The explosive content of the video has led to calls for Nyantakyi's resignation. Some Ghanaians have also called for an investigation of Akufo-Addo and other top NPP members captured in the video to ascertain what they know about Nyantakyi's comments.
