Kennedy Agyapong begs Judge for calling him ‘stupid’

The New Patriotic Party (NPP) Member of Parliament (MP) for Assin Central, Kennedy Ohene Agyapong, has rendered an unqualified apology to the Chief Justice (CJ) and the Magistrates Association of Ghana, who have been offended for comments he allegedly made in response to a court decision against him.

In an apology letter, the MP explained that he had been sued as a defendant in the case titled: Emmanuel Mompi & Hon. Kennedy Ohene Agyapong, and an order had been made without his knowledge.

“Subsequent to the suit, an order was made against me without my knowledge, which made me furious and angry, thus causing me to express my dismay and anger towards the court on a television programme called ‘The Seat’ on NET2 TV.

He stated in the letter that upon sober reflection he had come to the realization that his expression about the court opinion was harsh and apologized unreservedly to the judge and the entire judiciary.

“However, upon sober reflection, I have come to the realization that without prejudice to the substantive case, my expression about the court, opinion was harsh thus I find it necessary to rend, unqualified apology without any reservation whatsoever to the Honorable Chief Justice, Judges an, Magistrates and any individual who have been offended by my uncomplimentary comments.

“Thus prior to the publication of this letter I have appeared on the same platform on the 7th day of September 2020 and rendered same apology to the Hon Chief Justice, Judges and Magistrates .

“I must conclude that I strongly believe in our judicial systems and can never denigrate its integrity. Indeed I was set free by the court when I was charged with treason in 2012.”
