The Member of Parliament (MP) for Assin Central, Kennedy Agyapong has dared Deputy General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Koku Anyidoho, to a bout "if he claims to be a man".

Why?

The NPP MP claims Mr Anyidoho attempted to coerce a police officer to change the charge sheet of arrested drug baron Asem Darkey aka "Limping man", all in an attempt to implicate him (Ken) in a drug-related scandal a couple of years ago during the tenure of the late President John Evans Atta Mills.

Somewhere in 2012, Koku Anyidoho, then Communications Director at the Presidency, in what can best pass for unguarded enthusiasm, indicated that, “Asem Darkey is singing like a canary…”

He further claimed the “Limping Man” had named some leading opposition figures involved in the cocaine trade and even issued a fiat; that the borders of the country was going to be closed to prevent the named NPP activists from leaving the country under the cloud of darkness.

That and many other allegations by the NDC stalwart, is the basis of Hon Ken Agyapong's ballistic rant.

According to him, the NDC bigwig has the penchant of peddling falsehood about him and that he will not bother reporting it to the police or seek redress from the court. 

"I am just waiting for the right moment...i will hit his stomach repeatedly....I will take good care of him. I dare him to come to the ring for a fight if he claims to be a man. That bout can only be stopped when one of us loses his life...I don't believe in the police who connive with land guards to collect money. I am just keeping quiet because of Nana Akufo Addo. But if he is ready, I will meet him face to face," he said on Oman FM's 'National Agenda' morning show on Wednesday.
