NPP Firebrand, Hon. Kennedy Agyapong, was at his vituperative best when he launched a rather vile verbal attack on President John Evans Atta Mills and members of the National Democratic Congress labeling him as the country�s number one thief and a hypocrite. Addressing supporters and sympathizers of the NPP at the "gargantuan" rally at Mantse Agbona in James Town, the NPP MP said President Mills has performed rather woefully in handling the affairs of the country. In a rather unusual manner, Hon. Kennedy Agyapong began his presentation with a quotation from the Holy Scriptures; Proverbs 26:5 to justify why nowadays he retaliates with an equal measure of response, anytime someone rain insults on him. "Answer a fool as his folly deserves, That he not be wise in his own eyes," Ken Agyapong read from the Bible. A charged Kennedy Agyapong was emphatic that if President Mills claims he was not aware of the controversial Woyome Judgment debt payment that he is either an untruthful person and a leader who does not fear God. According to him, documents in his possession attest to the fact that President Mills was on the 6th January briefed by the Minister of Finance about the state of the country�s finances, and was subsequently informed about the payment of the judgement debt to businessman Alfred Agbesi Woyome. He therefore stated unequivocally that since the president failed to act appropriately on the payment, he is either corrupt or incompetent, and asked him to chose between the two. The outspoken NPP MP described President Mills as the country�s number one thief and warned that any attempt by the president to effect any judgment debt payment will result in his being goaled when the New Patriotic Party regains power. �President Mills is hiding under the guise of being a born again Christian and he ripping the people of this country off. He is spewing lies to the people of the Ghana. He is a thief and does not deserve to be our president�in fact, President Mills is the number one thief in the country�If Atta Mills pays any judgment debt again, he will be jailed when the NPP comes back to power�,� he stated. The Assin North MP warned that the NPP will not countenance any diabolic attempt by the ruling government to rig the 2012 elections saying "any machoman (from the NDC) who dare steals a ballot box will be crushed to death". Issuing the caveat, he was emphatic that the NPP is ready to die for the nation and will never look on unconcerned while the ruling party attempts to stay in power illegally and urged members of the NPP to be vigilant. �Anybody who tries to rig the 2012 election will be lynched. Any macho man who dare steals a ballot box will be crushed to death�We will die for this country and we wll not continue to sit down while these people steal the assets of this country...They know they will lose so they want to do something at all cost just to win the election...Anybody who will joke with the ballot box that day will meet his death�we were all born after being conceived for nine months by our mothers so we will not allow anybody to intimidate us...,� he said.
