Ever controversial Member of Parliament for Assin Central, Kennedy Ohene Agyapong, has released what he says are names of businessmen, politicians, media practitioners and senior police officers, under the radar of Anas Aremeyaw Anas.
Mr Agyapong alleges the names are coded in different colours. An individual whose name is marked with yellow indicates, he or she is still being investigated by the journalist, whilst a green colour code indicates a complete investigation on the individual.
He further alleges that the investigative journalist has the prefixes ‘pound of flesh’ and ‘compensation’ attached to some of the names.
Speaking in an interview he said, “’Pound of flesh’ signifies that you are his high target. He has written that he gave a minister $35,000. Prof Kwabena Frimpong Boateng has the pan of flash with an asterisk against his name.”
Honourable Agyapong listed, “Kwadwo Owusu Afriyie (Sir John), CEO of Forestry Commission, Fifi Fiavi Kwetey, politician, Hassan Ayariga, politician, Amoah Ayisi, military officer, Emmanuel Okyere, military officer, Supt. Cephas Arthur, Ghana Police Service, COP Dr Akuffo Dampare, Ghana Police Service, Peter Ohene Kyei, pastor, Francis Oppong, COCOBOD, Dominic Ntiwul, politician, Kwakye Darfour, Politician, Charles Bissue, politician, Stephen Opuni, COCOBOD,” as the names he chanced on.
He further said, “All these are targets and some of them have been paid by the journalist. I called the targeted pastor, Peter Ohene Kyei, but he did not answer.”
“I tell you the guy is evil and I’m surprised with all the evidence, Ghanaian journalists are quiet. What moral justification do you (journalists) have to criticize politicians, Ghanaians that they have ‘sinned’ but when your own colleague is also doing the same thing, you are quiet…because you (journalists) feel it dented the image of the inky fraternity…what is National Security doing?” Ken Agyapong rhetorically asked.
He alleged further that the Minister for National Security has a close relationship with the Editor-in-Chief of the New Crusading Guide, Kweku Baako Jnr, therefore, when his boy (Anas Aremeyaw Anas) is ‘misbehaving’ he, Anas, cannot be arrested.
“Cephas Arthur, Ghana Police Service, was given a monthly compensation of $400…Anas keeps records of any amount he pays to an individual,” Hon Agyapong elaborated.
