Apart from his foul mouth and open threats to journalists like the late Ahmed Suale and anti-galamsey champion Erastus Asare Donkor, if I am to give one reason why I think Kennedy Agyapong may not be the choice of floating voters for the high office of President, it is the fact that he told a pack of bare-faced lies about Ghana’s finest undercover journalist, whose work has saved this country more money than Kennedy Agyapong, with all his wealth, could boast of.
Kennedy Agyapong’s wicked campaign of lies against Anas all started after the latter exposed the then GFA President, Kwasi Nyantakyi in his Number 12 exposé, and in the process also exposed information that suggested that Kwasi Nyantakyi may have been fronting for people in higher office to receive bribes from foreign businessmen and shortchange the country.
In Kennedy Agyapong’s supposed exposé on Anas, dubbed “Who Watches The Watchman”, one of his main allegations was that Anas was a land thief who used underhand tactics and the deployment of land gaurds to steal people’s parcels of land at prime locations in Accra.
He mentioned properties at Dzorwulu, and then a particular parcel of land at Tseado, supposedly belonging one ADOLF TETTEH ADJEI who claimed to have acquired the land from another company in 2013. ADOLF and Kennedy Agyapong connived and run this big propaganda full of lies against Anas in the hope that their loud mouths will drown the truth forever. In fact, in the process, they even managed to secure an Appeals Court ruling to the effect that Adolf was the rightful owner of the said parcel of land.
But you see, like a good friend of mine always says to me, time and timing is everything. The case eventually went to the Supreme Court, and per the ruling of the apex court, Anas showed that he acquired that land in 2005 from the rightful owners, while Adolf claims to have acquired same parcel of land in 2013 from a third party whose claims to have acquired it in 2007 could not be substantiated.
So, now the Supreme Court has ruled that Anas’ claim to the land is legitimate because he acquired the land first and from the rightful land owners, whereas Adolf acquired it from a third party, who themselves don’t have documents to prove that they acquired it from the rightful owners.
So all of Kennedy Agyapong’s wicked campaign against Anas, calling him a criminal, a gangster and a treacherous person was all nothing but hot air rooted in sinking sand. His campaign against Anas was triggered by Anas exposé on corruption in Ghana’s football fraternity, in which very close friends of Kennedy Agyapong and top government officials were implicated. It was never a work of patriotism as he kept claiming.
This land issue was one of the reasons, under the NPP government, the courts ruled in favor of Kennedy and called Anas names in a very bizarre ruling, never witnessed before in any court in the world; how that Anas had filed a civil suit against Kennedy, seeking damages for defamation, but the ruling rather called Anas names in line with Kennedy’s baseless allegations. But in a US court, the ruling went in favor of Anas.
We are reliably informed that Adolf Tetteh has been rushed to the hospital after the Supreme Court ruling. But we are still waiting for Kennedy Agyapong to be magnanimous enough to admit that his whole “WHO WATCHES THE WATCHMAN” exposé on Anas was nothing more than a pack of lies cooked up just to run down an honest man who exposed grand corruption by public officers.
Kennedy Agyapong has never had and will never have any credible incriminating information on Anas. If he has we dare him to go to court and get Anas proven guilty, because so far it appears all his information keep falling flat on the face when tested in the law courts, except for when the courts under NPP gave that bizarre ruling against Anas, which never went anywhere, anyway.
So, in effect, as far as lawsuits around this Kennedy Agyapong vs Anas saga is concerned, the verdict is simple: Anas 2 – 0 Kennedy
Public apology mode activated.
I think another defamation suit will follow soon. Let’s see how Kennedy will fair.
There is a reset and we can at least trust the courts to do a better job this time round.
