The conduct of ace investigative journalist, Anas Aremeyaw Anas, regarding his investigative work is questionable, Nana Obiri Boahen, a private legal practitioner and Member of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has said.
According to him, after viewing the ‘Who Watches the Watchman’ documentary, compiled by Member of Parliament for Assin Central, Kennedy Agyapong, that attempted to discredit Anas, he has revised his notes in terms of embracing the modus operandi the ace investigative journalist has been using.
On Wednesday June 27, the ‘Who Watches the Watchman’ documentary was premiered at the forecourt of Ken City Media in Accra. Scores of Ghanaians thronged the area to watch the documentary.
This comes days after Anas Aremeyaw Anas also premiered his documentary dubbed Number 12 at the Accra International Conference Centre (AICC), which uncovered corruption within the Ghana Football Association (GFA).
Speaking to Accra News Thursday June 28, Mr Obiri Boahen said : “Let me say this, Anas is my hero and he will always be my hero, Kennedy Agyapong is my hero and will always be my hero.
“I was happy after watching the Number 12 documentary because Ghana football has been destroyed. When Kennedy Agyapong started talking against Anas, I disagreed with him initially on most of the things he said about the journalists.
“But after watching the ‘Who Watches the Watchman’ documentary yesterday, as a lawyer myself, I think there are a lot of questions to be asked about Anas’ procedure and conduct. I have realised that it will be wrong for me to say Anas is sacrosanct and that he is an angel.”
He added: “What I saw in the ‘Who watches the watchman’ especially regarding the portion that he Anas said he was going to kill a case in which a company has been defrauded. Lo and behold, he succeeded in ensuring that the case was killed. That tells me that I should hold on with my praises for Anas.
“As a professional man like Anas, somebody has contracted you to investigate some fraud for him, you have done that investigation and you were able to find two or three of the fraudsters that you should have ensured they faced the law, but he the same investigator destroyed the case and made the case ‘basaaa’. Do you think this is ethically good? Do you think this is religiously good? Do you think this is good?”

Ghanaians are not deep at all. This Kennedy Agyepong is a chap who suffers from delusions of grandeur.He has made so many allegations against Anas that are palpably false and yet Ghanaians are lapping it up.Take the case of the judges. These are people who know more law than Kennedy Agyepong will ever know in his entire life. So why did they not fight for themselves if they were innocent? He f0-0-0lishly alleges that the formerCJ connived with Anas so he could earn his law degree. This man is dangerous to the NPP and if they do not shut him down he will bring the party down. You should hear him slobbering on his radio station declaring victory over Anas. Such a pathetic character sitting in our august house.
Anas has never premiered any of his documentaries for money. Don't tell me you are buying into Ken's gibberish. Besides, Anas did the very recording Ken came to premier. The raw video of which he has a piece has been in the custody of the police since yester years. What is Ken afraid of? The fact that he has been told he has been caught on tape too?
THIS IS HOW HE COMES IN FROM TE COLD. IS THIS GUY NOT SUPPOSED TO FACE DISCIPLINARY ACTION FROM THE NPP PARTY. NOW HE WANTS TO PIGGY BACK ON ANAS'S ISSUE
we need sure of these intelligent questions to be asked about Anas. Ghana law should ban him from initiating corruption by giving bribe and videoing it to premiere it for money. if he wants to bring video, it should be real time one. Again the law of both giver and taker are guilty in bribery cases should be applied to him as well in his work. No law of this land should be skewed to favor him. finally Manasseh is known by all yet he's able to do high profile investigations without hiding his face or initiating the process of corruption and wrong doing. we need such methods by Manasseh to fight corruption in Ghana.
