Member of Parliament (MP) for Assin Central, Ken Agyapong, is scheduled to provide evidence to the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) in support of allegations he made against some individuals in government today, Wednesday, September 6.
Mr Agyapong had said some people at the presidency and within the New Patriotic Party (NPP) are charging $20,000 from private individuals who want to gain access to President Nana Akufo-Addo at the Flagstaff House.
Mr Agyapong, who has been sounding the corruption alarm bells within his own government, told Adom TV’s Badwam programme on Tuesday, 29 August that there is festering corruption within the Flagstaff House which is not limited to Deputy Chiefs of Staff, Samuel Abu Jinapor and Francis Asenso-Boakye, who have been called out by musician, Kwame A Plus, as “corrupt arrogant fools”.
The CID has picked up the case to probe and establish the veracity of those claims, hence the invitation to Mr Agyapong.
Musician and staunch supporter of the NPP, Kwame A Plus, provided evidence to the police on Tuesday, September 5 after he also made corruption allegations against the Deputy Chiefs of Staff.
“I just gave a statement and provided the evidence they needed and it’s best that we allow the police to do their work. I gave my evidence and told them why I said the people are corrupt and that was it,” he said after the meeting with the police.
He maintained that news circulating that he said the two accepted bribes was fake as the corruption allegations he levelled against them has nothing to do with bribery.
“Now the people go out there and they want to use me, they say A Plus says he didn’t accuse the people of taking bribe, of course I never accused them of receiving bribe, I accused them of being corrupt. There is a difference between bribery and corruption and it doesn’t mean I have apologised for calling anyone corrupt,” he told Accra100.5FM’s Ama Brako Ampofo.
