Former President John Dramani Mahama has described as 'scurrilous' comments made by the Member of Parliament of Assin Central, Kennedy Agyapong.
The MP linked the Presidential candidate of the NDC to the death of J.B. Danquah Adu, a former Member of Parliament for Abuakwa North.
However, a statement signed by Joyce Bawah Mogtari, the Special Aide of Mr Mahama said:
"While President Mahama does not intend to lend any dignity to the usual rants of Kennedy Agyapong, I am instructed to deny all the claims he made on his tv station, seeking as always to denigrate the person and reputation of the former president. There is no iota of truth in the allegations, they are complete fabrications and figment of fevered imaginations".
"It makes no logical sense that a man who has tried all these years to denigrate the person of the former President, would have such information and will for almost three years since his party has been in office not present it to the investigative authorities? This is the same person who over the years has made similar scurrilous allegations against other persons he has accused with the same offence. Where did this new information he claims to have, come from?" the statement further queried.
Read statement below;
Ignore the rants of Kennedy Agyapong
The attention of the leader and flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress, former President John Dramani Mahama, has been drawn to yet another set of scurrilous statements made by a member of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Kennedy Agyapong, on Net2 TV seeking to link him to the unfortunate death of J.B. Danquah Adu, a former Member of Parliament for Abuakwa North.
While President Mahama does not intend to lend any dignity to the usual rants of Kennedy Agyapong, I am instructed to deny all the claims he made on his tv station, seeking as always to denigrate the person and reputation of the former president. There is no iota of truth in the allegations, they are complete fabrications and figment of fevered imaginations.

Ghanaians are today confronted, in their daily lives, with high cost of living, job losses, collapsing businesses, depreciating incomes, poor governance by Nana Akufo-Addo and a state of insecurity at very monumental levels. Ghanaians are looking for solutions to their problems.
Therefore, Mr. Agyapong and his party should concentrate their energies on dealing with these problems and stop trying to divert attention.
President Mahama remains focused on advocating an alternative and sincere working government and would urge the good people of Ghana to treat the vituperations of Mr. Agyapong with utmost contempt.

This is an empty statement..... Just take the man to court to clear your name. This Kanazoe ford bribe taker killed Prof Mills in cold blood and bribed his family to keep mute. Asantehene will never forgive you and your NDC for what you did to him. They must never allow you to enter Mankyia Palace again.Going to court will expose them so they will hide behind issuing of statement. the truth will definitely come out one day. The murdered MP and Prof Atta Mills ghosts will continue to hunt you the killers until you tell the truth.
Off course we are not expecting MAHAMA to come out straight and say yes what Kennedy Agyarpong is saying is the truth. But we the right thinking members of the society know the truth, even some staffs at the hotel where the Nigeria girl and his male accomplish were taken after JB death have confirm the incident...
Mahama is not serious
It is only npp ingnorant foools that will believe this bull shhit from a ***barred word*** that always smell cocaine
This is serious allegation, don’t think issuing statement alone is enough to rubbish it, besides the MP mentioned some names which are consistent with the killing of JB Danquah. I have constantly maintained that there was no way the killer could have gotten access to his room without an insider support, we are not kids to believe this cock and bull story that the killer used ordinary ladder to climb to the room, meanwhile there were security and other people in the house. This wasn’t a sniper who shot from afar to kill the man. For God sake the man wasn’t living in a compound house. Moreover the house is also surrounded with other walls. JM you can’t just rubbish it, you have been fingered and you should be able to exonerate yourself by providing appropriate answers or open up in court. Not this usual running away from the substance of the case. Massa the focus should be the massage and not the messenger. Till date Ghanaians don’t know how Late Prof Mills got to 37 military hospital before he died, who even took him there and with what car, who were those people around when the incident happened. All these questions haven’t been answered but we are quiet. The ***barred word*** always triumph because the good has chosen to remain silent . JM better address the issue than attacking his personality
You are very uncult*ured and uncout*h for such a statement to come from a former president's office. I think it is about time you people shu*t your mouth up! you always exposes your ign*rance and uncivil manners do you even has to bring out this statement? listen, waiting till now thinking Ghanaians have short memory so you will throw out anything there for sympathy won't work because your statement is full of shi*t! Stop the insults and bring out your visions and policies for pettiness won't solve anything for you! I can't understand how a former president can reduce himself to fighting mps and executives of another political party learn courtesy from Papa Kuffuor and Nana Addo president Rawlings gs even said if you haven't come with a statement about Otumfuo what would have happened ? still your bitterness is driving you into more troubles! Ken Agyepong is also very insulting like you and has followers who could also go with your uncult*ured followers so start now throwing insults to yourselves and we will enjoy it papa! Ken has nothing to lose he is okay with his constituents because they know him to be who he is but you seeking for the office of the first gentleman must be a gentleman yourself which we don't see, the utterances from your office are very appalling and no amount of words could repair the damage done between you and Asantehene Otumfuo and Asanteman! krakye we all heard Julius Debrah and don't pretend to shift it on somebody burry your pride and apologize! I dint think Asanteman will take it light on you trying to down play it like nothing has happened something has happened and that is you've disrespected Otumfuo and Asanteman. You are not the first president of Ghana and the last but none has shown this disrespect to our traditional rulers like
In fact this is very serious allegation. and Ken Agyapong is a sitting MP, who should be taken seriously. the least John Mahama and his NDC can do is to sue him instead of issuing this lame statement. who is speaking the truth? ghanaians would like to know
My humble opinion Mr. President, your response was needles. " Never argue with a ***barred word***, people might not notice the difference".
Why can't we say the truth? Why did Mahama run to say he is innocent, ana he knows about JB's killing? He should go to court. This is an open secret, we all know who killed JB
The truth they say is like calabash it can never be suppressed under Water. Whether Kennedy is right of Mahama is right......the truth will always come up. Time, please tell us sooner than later.
