Vice President lambasts Ken Agyapong
Government has condemned the inflammatory and
ethnocentric comments by New Patriotic Party (NPP)
firebrand Kennedy Agyapong.

It has also served notice it will use all legal
means to deal ruthlessly with individuals or
groups who intend to disrupt the peace and
security of the nation.

In his first official comment on the alleged
ethnocentric statement by the Assin North MP, the
Vice President, John Dramani Mahama called on the
entire citizenry to condemn it.

Addressing members of the Tertiary Education
Institutions Network of the NDC in the Ashanti
Region, Mr. Mahama wondered how such explosive
comments could be made by a Member of Parliament.


Mr Kennedy Agyapong was arrested last week for
making inflammatory comments and declaring war on
Accra-based radio station, Oman FM, owned by him.
He was granted bail by the Accra Fast Track High
Court in the sum of GH¢200,000 with one surety to
be justified on Thursday.

According to the Vice Presidents, the ethnocentric
comments made by the Assin North MP “should not be
taken lightly …the whole nation must rise up and
say what he said was absolutely unacceptable…It is
the silence of those who should speak for the
truth that makes evil triumph.”

In apparent reaction to President Kufuor’s
description of Kennedy Agyapong’s arrest as “using
a sledge hammer to kill a fly", Mr. Mahama said
government will even use a bulldozer to kill the
ant whose intention is to foment trouble.
