National Organiser for the National Democratic Congress (NDC) has described as ‘stupid’ and uncalled for’, utterances made by Assin Central Member of Parliament, Kennedy Agyapong over suggestions that he ‘exposed’ the identity of deceased undercover journalist, Ahmed Hussein-Suale, leading to his death.
Some Ghanaians took to social media to express disappointment at Kennedy Agyapong for openly describing the residence of the late Ahmed and calling for his ‘beating’ should he visit his media premises. According to them, the statements subtly link him to the assassination of the young man since it exposed him and made him vulnerable to persons who may have wanted to kill him.
Lawyer for the undercover journalist, Anas Aremeyaw Anas, Kissi Agyabeng, also called for Kennedy Agyapong to be questioned considering he incited the public against Ahmed through earlier comments he made after the release of Anas’ Number 12 expose´.
This was after Ahmed was shot three times; in his chest and neck in his car by some unknown assailants on his way home Wednesday at Madina. The Assin Central MP, following this responded to the suggestions while speaking to some Accra-based radio stations. He chided the lawyer for making such ridiculous statements and hit at persons who sought to imply he was involved in the dastardly act. He among other things called the lawyer ‘stupid’.
Touching on the issue on the sidelines of Ahmed’s final burial rites, Mr. Akamba said it was unnecessary his outburst if he indeed was innocent. Keeping silent for the appropriate bodies to investigate he said would have been the ideal and respectable thing for the legislator to have done.
He added that such things are happening under the Akufo-Addo-led government because everyone seemingly condones with Mr. Agyapong even when he commits errors; reason he feels free to act however he deems fitting.
“If you would remember, Tiger Eye did work during Professor Mill’s era, nobody run him down, nobody condemned him, we rather worked with it, then his Excellency John Dramani Mahama, when another invitation was conducted, he went with it, Nana Akufo-Addo under his era, that He is the God of the country now, when he talks or does anything to anybody that is close to him, nobody should touch him. Just imagine, Kennedy Agyapong, they are saying you’ve made comments, he should have shut his mouth up, what he did was uncalled for, it’s stupid”.
“If you’ve been accused of something, let the police also investigate, but this is the intimidating factor, you heard him say he has called the CID Boss, the national security Director, because he has the power? So that they don’t intimidate him. So where is the investigation going to go? He is dropping names of the powerful people he has called so that they turn it around and go after some people. The NPP should raise the guy from the dead. If there’s a video circulating with you saying ‘anybody who gets him, beat him, what do you think? It’s sad”, he said.

In fact Ghanaians talk too much but do very little in any situation. if the country is lawless why cant someone organize the al qeeda style to shut off ***barred word*** comments. ***barred word*** comments must equally be met with ***barred word*** comments to state that nobody is above the law. if this had happened to my relative, the whole ghana would have turned upside down and neither police or any security agency can save the situation. IF we want peace then lets live in peace and avoid inciting others to kill hard working journalist. suicide bombing and contract killing are no different. We have to be very careful because ISIS is just across the boarder in Burkina and Nigeria. Enough of ***barred word*** and uncultured utterance
In fact this Akamba is idi*ot who doesn't deserve to leave with human beings! who brought this thing to Accra? does he think everyone is enthused with his st*upidity ? how on earth can such a thing insult Kennedy Agyepong is he his level? it is only in the ndc such a fo000*00l will be entertained! what was wrong with what Ken said for this idi*ot to insult him?your ndc will rot in opposition! why do you blame Ken but not Anas who sent his land guards to kill the guy? do you people think you are smarter than everyone right? find who killed him and stop your nons*ense! what reaction did you expect from him when Anas tried to implicate him when he reality it is Anas who did it? Southerners don't behave in that way, how many people have you seen gun down in the south since you Akamba came down here if not an armed robbery? We in the south don't kill human being like anim*al! momfa mo ***barred word*** no mfri h? nkor! Why would you do such a heinous thing and shift to somebody? why would Anas come out in such a hurry to announce Ken's name before investigation could go on?what has he to hide? did Ahmed investigate Kennedy Agyepong for him to kill him? and did Ahmed do something wrong to Ken to deserve to die? why would he even do that to gain what? ask Anas your country man what became of the 2 before Ahmed was gun down! if even Ahmed Decided To Fall OUT Did He DESERVE To die? ask your tribesman and leave Kennedy Agyepong out of your brutish actions!
