NPP MP Rubbishes The Minority

The NPP MP for Assin North, Kennedy Agyapong says it is ridiculous for the opposition NDC in Parliament to ask for the impeachment of President Kufuor following the ?Hotel Kufuor saga".

Mr. Agyapong says he agrees with calls that some investigations should be conducted into the whole saga to ascertain whether President Kufuor is guilty of anything but says it is incredible to think about impeachment. According to him, the allegation of intimacy with the president should be investigated to ascertain the truth because the woman is telling a lie.

Asked who should conduct the investigations, Mr. Agyapong says he expects the NDC to start the investigations. "I agree with them, let them go out there but Bagbin will not even have the nerve to go out there and do the investigations," he says.

When asked why, Mr. Agyapong says, "because we know them. We were here in Ghana last year when a paper wrote that he had slept with his sister-in-law. If that is their line of impeachment then in Parliament and in politics, you will not even get 10 per cent who are morally genuine." "I want to state categorically that they did worse things, impeach whom, they should go and call on all ex-presidents and impeach them for all the things they did before they come to President Kufuor, he said.
