NPP Member of Parliament for Assin North, Kennedy Agyapong is said to have made some allegations against the Deputy chief of staff, Jonny Osei Kofi, claiming he has imported guns over millions of dollars in a supposed meeting held in his home in Kumasi to create mayhem come December polls.

Reacting to the allegations, Jonny Osei denied ever speaking in any meeting about importation of guns.
