Nana Akomea: NPP will cooperate with police over Ken Agyapong’s arrest
The opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) will
cooperate with the police in their investigations
into alleged treasonable comments made by Member
of Parliament (MP) for Assin North Ken Agyapong,
says Communications Director of the party Nana
Akomea.

He said: “we will support the police in their
work; they are the people who provide security for
all of us…”

Nana Akomea was speaking on the Super Morning Show
on Joy FM Tuesday. Though the party said it was
prepared to aid the police in this regard, Nana
Akomea said the NPP was unhappy about the
selective manner in which certain issues are
handled by the police.

He explained that other people across the
political divide have made comments that could be
interpreted as treasonable but the police have sat
unconcerned.

“We are also worried that there seems to be some
discrimination, the comments that Ken Agyapong
made you can find aspects of those comments from
various people across the political divide and we
feel that the police can be even handed by
inviting all those people who have made statements
that can be interpreted as incendiary.”

He regretted that supporters of the party who
thronged the police headquarters Monday became
confrontational with the police, saying “those
events are unfortunate.”

However the NPP Communications Director noted that
the supporters might have been disappointed that
the police did not release the Assin North MP
after indicating he could go home if his bail
conditions are met – the conditions were all met.


Nana Akomea assured that “we will not attack or
put any impediment on the way of the police…but we
are worried about the seeming discrimination…”

Meanwhile Minority Leader Osei Kyei Mensah-Bonsu,
also speaking in an interview with Joy FM, accused
the police of superintending thuggery and added
that if the police worked as professionals, people
will refrain from taking the law into their own
hands.

He believed there was nothing treasonable about
Ken’s comments and said: “Why are you doing this
to this guy, is it because he said something
against Woyome?”
