Legal practitioner Maurice Ampaw has described Mr Kennedy Agyapong’s exposé that sought to prove that ace investigate journalist, Anas Aremeyaw Anas was corrupt as the “most useless” video evidence ever to be shown to Ghanaians.
Without any regret, the self-acclaimed ‘celebrity lawyer’ said the NPP MP for Assin central is not ‘serious’ with his modus operandi to make known who Anas is.
“In all the video exposé premiers I have watched, this particular one is the most useless exposé ever” - Maurice said in an interview with NEAT FM’s morning show, ‘Ghana Montie’.
Hundreds of people turned up yesterday to watch the much-anticipated video by Mr Kennedy Agyapong that sought to prove that Anas Aremeyaw Anas was corrupt.
The video, titled: “Who watches the watchman”, was outspoken Agyapong’s response to the Anas exposé on corruption in Ghana’s football administration.
On several occasions, Mr Agyapong has criticised Anas’s routine of investigations, describing it as a ‘serious threat to Ghana’.
He, therefore, carried his threat to use the video to expose what he described as Anas’s transgressions.
That sentiment was echoed in the video, in which a narrator sarcastically stated that he was hopeful that the allegations of bribery, intimidation and selective naming and shaming leveled against Anas were not true.
The 45-minute video depicted two separate meetings in which a narrator claimed that some of the footages were attempts by Anas to shield certain criminals from facing the law.
In the meeting, a person alleged to be Anas was seen having a discussion in Hausa with two people who were revealed in the video as Mubarak and Baba Tunde.
Per the information provided in the video, the two were part of an alleged gold scam that reportedly duped a company of $5 million.
But Maurice noted that “There is no evidential value to his [Kennedy Agyapong] video” – to him, “it’s like a concert party kind of evidence. It’s very unfortunate. Those behind the video were motivated by malice and they are people who were threatening Anas”
“Kennedy Agyapong should show his video on BBC if he wants us to take him serious” he told host Kwesi Aboagye

MIND GAMES. THEY KEEP PLAYING WITH YOUR MIND. WAKE UP GHANAIANS. THIS DON'T CLOTHE US AND DOES NOT PUT FOOD ON OUR TABLE.SO WHAT IS THE POINT?
Is this man too a lawyer? Ken all the way
I think Ampaw did not watch the video carefully. It is simple if Anas is clean what should he bother for investigation? So was there any mechanism to check the background or activities of Anas & Tiger Eye or in Ghana you start going and just going. That is wrong. I have nothing against Anas investigation and that of Ken Agyapong. Both are doing Ghana proud. I totally disagree with Mr Ampaw for his political connotation in this investigation. WHO WATCHES THE WATCHMAN
Are you a lawyer?
some time i wonder people who have been to school can get up and talk as if they dont even think. well now i know we have home sense and school sense. any body who is wise will know that this man is the most ***barred word*** person. some one who is cautch in a video as a corrupt. and you still get these ***barred word*** people who all what they think is their stomach. you are a fake lawyer
I THINK THE VIDEO SERVED A GOOD PURPOSE. AT LEAST IT MADE ANAS TO BE IN THE SHOES OF THOSE HE ALSO SHOWS IN HIS VIDEOS. HE HAD THE CHANCE TO TELL HIS SIDE OF THE STORY. PERSONS IN ANAS'S VIDEO DO NO GET THE CHANCE TO TELL THEIR SIDE OF THE STORY BEFORE THE VIDEOS ARE SHOWN TO THE PUBLIC. THE APPROPRIATE PLACE TO DO THIS IS THE COURT. THESE VIDEOS HAVE EFFECT ON THE INNOCENT CHILDREN OF THE PERSONS INVOLVED. THAT IS WHY I THINK THE EVIDENCE SHOULD BE HANDED OVER TO THE POLICE TO USE IT IN COURT. WE SHOULD NOT BE THINKING ABOUT THE PERSONS INVOLVED ALONE. WE SHOULD ALSO CONSIDER THE EFFECT ON THEIR INNOCENT CHILDREN.
Maurice Ampaw, as for this , I disagreed with you.
When did BBC become yard stick for good investigation. I am sorry to say if a lawyer istalking like this, then Ghana have a problem. Lawyer Maurice, your statement must be condemned, to me is disgusting. You may disagree but dont speak like a child.
There were two scenes in the who watches the watchman,why talk about one scene.Why did you not comment on the second scene .Anas was talking to the prosecutor and said they buy me $100,000.It sad that Anas started his investigation with good intention but allow greed to overtaken his work. One Hafiz is claiming he Anas collected $50,000 from him, his claim is more serious than Ken Agyapong's utterances, so Anas should rather sue Hafiz.
Have you Winn a case in court before
