The much anticipated eagerly awaited trial of the NPP MP for Assin North, Kennedy Agyapong has begun at the Cocoa Affairs Court at Adjabeng, Accra amidst heavy security presence. The lawmaker is being tried for making some treasonable comments on radio. In the courtroom are bigwigs of the NPP including the National Chairman, Jake Otanka Obetsebi-Lamptey, General Secretary Lawyer Kwadwo Owusu Afriyie, MP for Okere, Dan Botwe, and a host of others.
