Kennedy Agyapong, Assin Central Member of Parliament has described the National Security Minister, Albert Kan-Dapaah as a ‘disaster’.
He said if he had helped members of the Delta Force when they went to him, this issue (storming court) would not have escalated.
Kennedy Agyapong was speaking to the incident that occurred at the Kumasi Circuit Court, Thursday in an interview on UTV's 'Adekye Nsroma', Friday.
Some members of the Delta Force; a Pro-NPP vigilante group stormed the Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly (KMA) Circuit Court to free 13 of their colleagues who had been arraigned for forcibly throwing the Ashanti Regional Security Coordinator out of office last month.
Even though the Assin Central MP has condemned their actions, he believes if they had not been arrested and was just asked to apologise as he had earlier advised, “the situation will not have got to this level.”
“What they have done is disgraceful and I condemn them outrightly, but Kan-Dapaah is a disaster . . . National security is a disaster . . . The guys still see some NDC people at post while they are not working. They didn’t do well but there is undercurrent . . . when they went for help from him he (Kan- Dapaah) told them he has stopped doing those things."
"I have said it, if he likes he should come and arrest me. I am ready for them; I have a lot of issues and if they don’t take care I will bring the party down . . . I only have respect for Nana Akufo-Addo. Threatening that you will arrest me; come and arrest me; I am waiting for you. I fought NDC so I am not afraid of NPP. Where was Kan Dapaah when I was spending on the party? I am not supporting what they (Delta Force) did but if NPP are accusing me of being the mastermind, I am ready for them. If they had listened to me, it would not have gotten to this level,” he said.
The maverick Assin Central Member of Parliament, Mr Kennedy Agyapong, who had earlier defended the riotous activities of the Delta Force, a political vigilante group aligned to the New Patriotic Party (NPP) has made a U-turn and condemned the group.
In a disclaimer on Thursday night on Oman FM, Mr Agyapong admitted that the action of Delta Force in storming the court on Thursday to free accused persons was “disgraceful”.
Some members of the group stormed the Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly (KMA) Circuit Court to free 13 of their colleagues who had been arraigned for forcibly throwing the Ashanti Regional Security Coordinator out of office last month.
They ‘invaded’ the court shortly after the presiding judge, Mrs Mary Nsenkyire, had remanded the 13 into prison custody to reappear on April 20, 2017.
Immediately word went out that the 13 had been remanded, some supporters of the accused who were outside the courtroom attempted to find their way into the courtroom but they were prevented from doing so by the police.

I have always said that this kan dapaah man is a corrupt and dishonest person. He is also weak and cannot be trusted. During the 2008 elections Kan Dapaah was given GHC80,000 for the NPP campaign but he ended up pocketing all the money. An insider informed at a hotel in Kumasi at the time. Kan Dapaah is simply not fit for the position of the National Security Minister. Nana Addo must closely watch and replace him as soon as possible. Ken Agyapong is right.
we need peace
Ghanaians did not vote for NPP,based on how mush you spend on the party campaign. Ghanaians only voted against abuse of power, hardship and corruption as well as the future of children.The 10% sympathy votes made NPP won. Please allow Nana Addo to rule.Note that you are only 1 out of 25million ghanaians. Be advise
Hon.pls calm down for things would be alright. We must rather ensure that nothing of this nature happens anymore. And our (NPP) leaders who have been appointed into positions, you don't expect H. E. Nana Addo to be moving up and down to be solving petty issues like this. Note that leadership is not just about wearing big coates. A good leader must be pro-active and strategic. For me l don't even understand why the case should even go to court without having any other amicable way of solving it, when we have leader? Pls let us help our President to deliver for he is determined , and not to just accept posts. "Remember that the people you meet when climbing up are the same people u meet when coming down".
I was going to insult Ken as I have been F00OLISHLY doing all over by insulting and attacking NPP leaders having being part of NDC social media team. But I think I have to be wise and think as human being for once.
