President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo is being ‘warned’ by his close friend, outspoken Member of Parliament for Assin Central Honourable Kennedy Agyapong not to attempt to intervene in the Kotoka International Airport (KIA) Cargo Center contract of one Traboulsi Marwan, who the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Member of Parliament (MP) is alleging to be a “crony” of a former first family, mynewsgh.com can report.
Mr Kennedy Agyapong is alleging that the owner of the ‘questionable’ contract is a crony of former President John Rawlings and his wife, for which reason he has been operating without due process since 20th July 2012, when his contract was first signed for the use of the facility at the Kotoka International Airport.
Mr. Kennedy Agyapong is also alleging that the cargo area given to Traboulsi to run on the ‘dubious’ contract has become a place for questionable activities as Traboulsi, the leasee is running the place without proper checks because “he is a crony of former President John Rawlings and his wife”.
With questions raised about the operation of the Cargo contract, Mr Kennedy Agyapong is telling the President not to intervene should it be reported to him for his action.
He was speaking on Oman FM Thursday night.
“I respect the President very much, but if he gets himself involved in this issue, I will put out every detail into the public domain!”, he vowed.
He was however quick to add that he knows and trusts the judgment of the President.
“I know the way he (President Akufo-Addo) is strict, he doesn’t want to hear such issues. They should cancel the contract or sit with him to review it.”
It was not just the President who was warned off by the outspoken lawmaker. Other governments and party officials were asked to take a cue from the President.
“Any official who tries me on this matter, I will disgrace you”, Mr Agyapong said.
Kennedy Agyapong, to emphasize how serious he was about his threat swore by his late father:
“I swear by my father who I went to meet dead with his mouth and eyes widely opened. I swear! Nobody should come. Everyone comes and begs. What is happening?”, he quizzed.
“In Ghana, when you talk about issues that will help ordinary people for sanity to prevail then they are calling you and begging you. I will not listen. Anybody. Whoever you are. Anything that is not good for President Akufo-Addo’s administration and good for Ghana, I will talk. So it is simple”, he added.
Mr Kennedy Agyapong maintained that from what he saw in the Airport Cargo contract, Traboulsi Marwan was not working in the interest of the republic of Ghana and the contracts should be abrogated, or reviewed.
“How can you have an agreement with this company on 20th July 2012 and tell us that by Regulations of the Company the draft will be provided by the Ghana Airport Company Limited. On basic terms to incorporate, [point] one, NIL-rent during initial term… and [point] two, the initial term is 20 years. No rent for 20 years! Who does that?”, he asked.
“So those who gave this guy the contract, does their mind work? I don’t know whether the guy is a Pakistani, or Iranian or Lebanese, but who cares about that. They have to abrogate this contract and review it. Review it!”, he stressed.
“Traboulsi Marwan, I hear his best friend is former President Rawlings and former first lady. I don’t care about that. I care about Ghana”, he said.

RAWLINGS AND WIFE TOGETHER WITH NANA ADDO FINALLY GOING DOWN THE SLIPPERY ROAD OF CORRUPTION!!
Egimifo. What are you people talking about. Even the U.S. ambassador is praising the NDC government for the good works they did. Some of you have made up your mind that anything done by NDC government is a scam. Shame on you. If you able to point to one concrete developmental project that NPP has done since it took change, then you probably have the moral right to judge NDC. As much as NDC is out of power, NPP would surely be out of power, in fact, they would be out of power very quick, especially, the way they are going about things. The precedent they are setting would enable the NDC to jail even nana addo should they come to power. Hatred will kill Ken agyepong.
I don't think that guy being a friend to the former first couples mean they know of his contract with the ndc, I'm 100% behind what Ken is saying, but, I'm not sure the Rawlingses know about his dealings with the ndc. Ndc, is a party who doesn't care about the constitution of Ghana, they think the constitution was written during former president Rawlings time so it is only for those who are not ndc members and that no law in Ghana binds ndc so will never respect the laws of the country hence their mismanagement of everything concerning Ghana and cry witch hunting when they are caught in the net of the laws of this land by patriotic citizens.One interesting thing which I always say ndc has no shame is, President Rawlings on whose back these people are riding is nothing to them,for his wife to these people is nothing to write home about,but when they are in trouble they try to bring that family in. Who told Ken. that guy is a family friend to the Rawlingses? since I don't think Kennedy Agyepong goes to visit them to know their friends,somebody from the corner of the Mahama family might have giving that information to Ken.to make that family and Nana Addo look bad.The guy was doing business with the John Mahama family and government and not Rawlings government so I don't think mentioning the Rawlingses name and affiliation with the guy is fair, since President Rawlings had no influence in the Mahama government.Sometimes we must reason and use our commonsense a little bit before opening our mouths.
Asa that is not the point, what Ken is saying is the contract right to favor Ghanaians, two did it take due process, its national security in that area checking the activities of this person. So lets think Ghana first. President Trump and his whole team is being investigated, about four have being found guilty of fraud in dubious ways, and they are facing the law of US. Its about the country US not any individual person. Until Ghanaians put Ghana first, the country will remain the same.
This man is getting out of hand. He is now trying to blackmail nana addo because he thinks he helped him become president. Why should someone's contract be reviewed or taken from him simply because of change of government or because you think that person is throwing his weight about because of Rawlings.
