Judge In Kennedy Agyapong’s Contempt Case Transferred To Ho

by WP Staff
written by WP Staff

The High Court judge who was involved in the Kennedy Agyapong contempt case has been transferred to Ho in the Volta Region.

Reports indicated that Justice Amos Wuntah Wuni was ordered by the Supreme Court to step down as presiding judge in the contempt case against the Member of Parliament for Assin Central, Kennedy Agyapong on October 14, 2020.

Mr Kennedy Agyapong’s lawyers invoked the supervisory jurisdiction of the Supreme Court for orders of certiorari and prohibition against Justice Amos Wuntah Wuni’s hearing of the case.

They argued that Justice Wuni assumed jurisdiction in a matter that he wrongly assumed concerned him. They also insisted that Justice Wuni demonstrated extreme hostility towards the lawmaker during the trial and even refused to be persuaded by any legal reasoning in the course.

Lawyer for Kennedy Agyapong, Kwame Gyan, cited an off-the-record comment attributed to Justice Wuni, that, “if you touch a high tension pole you will be electrocuted”, which he said demonstrated the Judge’s hostility towards the Assin Central Member of Parliament.

Additionally, Kwame Gyan accused Justice Wuni of committing a “plethora of infractions which if not checked and halted by the Supreme Court may lead to a travesty of justice. Some of these infractions are grave”.

The Supreme Court, however, noted and conceded by Kennedy Agyapong’s lawyers that the High Court is one under the country’s Court architecture and any High Court Judge was vested with the authority to preside over a contempt charge against the Court.

The Supreme Court, constituted by Justices Baffoe-Bonnie as President, Yaw Appau, Amadu Tanko, Yonny Kulendi and Gabriel Pwamang, decided that the High Court be reconstituted to hear the contempt charge against the Assin Central MP.

The Court’s reasoning behind this judgement is expected to be out on October 20, 2020.

Ken Agyapong, a maverick politician, has been cited for contempt of court after he was seen in a video on his Net 2 TV raining insults on a High Court judge.

We Will Insult Mahama Back – Kennedy Agyapong

by WP Staff
written by WP Staff

Member of Parliament(MP) for Assin Central, Kennedy Agyapong has served notice to the former President of Ghana and Flagbearer for the National Democratic Congress Congress (NDC) John Dramani Mahama that the NPP will reply his insults in a similar fashion.

According to him, John Dramani Mahama has resorted to throwing jabs, insults but the Media Foundation for West Africa which guages the use of foul language have never ranked him as the politician with the most vile language but always use himself and Chairman Wontumi.

To him, since Mahama has chosen to resort to insults in his campaign, they will reply him in the same way.

“Mahama is desperate and does not have anything good to tell the people of Ghana so he has now resorted to insults. If you reply him, they say Kennedy Agyapong and Wontumi are the most vile politicians in the country. But those who wrote that has he listened to what Mahama says? If you respond to him accordingly, then they have problems but for us, we will respond to them accordingly.”

The NPP MP disclosed that the NDC has hired the services of IT experts to hack the systems of the Electoral Commission to delay the results.

“I hear Mahama says he will not accept a flawed election. Well, we don’t care about that. By 10 or 11 we would have collated our results and be jubilating already.We are not going to wait for the Electoral Commission that the NDC has brought in experts to hack their systems so that the results delay.”

Mahama Doesn’t Have The Brain To Execute His Stolen Promises – Kennedy Agyapong

by WP Staff
written by WP Staff

Aside allegations of ‘intellectual’ thievery, Member of Parliament for the Assin Central Constituency, Kennedy Agyapong has also accused Flagbearer for the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama, of spewing unrealistic promises to the populace under the guise of campaigning.

Mr. Mahama on Monday, September 7, 2020 joined several party executives to unveil the party’s manifesto ahead of the December elections. He among other things, pledged to improve the livelihoods of Ghanaians through job creation and other areas.

Mr. Agyapong however says the NDC’s manifesto is enough evidence for citizens to vote against the party.

According to him, many of the policies projected in the 143-paged document were stolen from the NPP’s manifesto which was launched on August 22. He further suggested that Mr. Mahama lacks the ‘brains’ to be able to implement the policies he is selling to Ghanaians.

Speaking on his ‘The Seat’ show Monday, Kennedy Agyapong said,

“The promises Prsident Mahama is giving, although he stole a lot of things from our manifesto, even the ones left to do, he can’t because he doesn’t have the brains to. He doesn’t have insight. We’ve seen it before and they can’t do it.”

“He says, he will create yearly, up to 250,000 jobs every year. So in 4 years of President Mahama, he’ll create 1m jobs. Under President Akufo-Addo, despite the hardships of COVID, as of the time they were writin the manifesto in June, job creation was 2,55000 thousand in 3 years. How will Ghanaians then sell their rights to an incompetent leader who says, when I come into government, I’ll reduce it by 1,55000 jobs, how?

“..Ghanaians should look back on all the promises they have hammered on, to find out if they have, in previous times, made similar pledges…The manifesto is nowhere near what the NPP presented. Any discerning person can tell the guy was lying through his teeth,” he said.

He urged Ghanaians to weigh the track records of both the NPP and the NDC, and be discerning with their votes.

“They aren’t even ashamed of the thievery. It’s so evident even in the manifesto. What is more interesting, and glaring, why the youth of this country should vote massively against President Mahama.

“And you try to compare yourself to Akufo-Addo’s administration. If you look at the performance of President Akufo-Addo under a pandemic, we have still managed the economy this way, and yet you can come and say it is reckless, God should forgive him.

“What I want Ghanaians to know is that, the good records of the NPP, the only party that can develop this country. They say they are social democrats; they are corrupt criminals,” the legislator added.

Akufo-Addo Will Die Soon, Don’t Vote For Him – John Mahama

by WP Staff
written by WP Staff

“If we follow the order of life, the path ahead of Akufo-Addo is shorter than all of you, young people. If you go to the market, you’ll see a small goatskin and an old goatskin. Young people can die; I agree, but if the natural order is to be maintained, somebody who is twenty years old is going to live the next fifty years”.

“At my age, I’m going to live shorter, Nana Akufo-Addo is going to live shorter because at his age, in the natural order of things, he has shorter time so that debt, he is not going to pay.”

This is the logic former president is preaching as he seeks to overturn a deficit of over a million votes in his attempt to return to the flagstaff house.

He lamented that since assuming power in 2017, the Akufo-Addo government has added a whopping GH¢137bn to the country’s debt stock with little to show for it.

Addressing chiefs and elders of the Nadowli traditional council John Mahama urged Ghanaians to demand accountability from the government over how it expended those borrowed monies.

According to the NDC flagbearer, Akufo-Addo who he asserts has borrowed over GHC137billion will not live long enough to settle those debts so it will be unwise for Ghanaians to trust the future of the country into his hands.

He advised the younger generation to be bear in mind that by the time it is due for the country to settle its debts, Akufo-Addo will no longer be in existence and the responsibility will fall on them.

He stated that the government can’t blame the huge debt on the Free SHS as the programme is funded with oil revenue.

“Free SHS is not part of the debt. Free SHS is GH¢3.6billion and it was taken from our oil revenues so it is not part of the debt. So let’s put Free SHS aside, GH¢137bn, what have you done with it? That is the question we must enter this election with. He (Akufo-Addo) is not going to pay it.
