Assin Central MP Kennedy Agyapong has said Sunday’s dawn demolition exercise at the Ghana Trade Fair site which affected Mr Raymond Archer’s US$10-million printing press, was needless.
Mr Archer’s firm and over 20 others were bulldozed to pave the way for a redevelopment project.
Speaking on Class FM Thursday, 20 February 2020 at the foyer of Parliament just before the President presented his State of the Nation Address, Mr Agyapong said: “I disagree with Trade Fair”, adding: “My brother, it’s you today, it’s me tomorrow”.
According to him, “Whether you are NDC, NPP, you are Ghanaian”, even if Mr Archer created just two jobs for others.
“What I expected them to do is that: if even there was a court order to demolish, allow the person to take his properties from it”.
“My brother, they are abusing powers, they don’t know that tomorrow you will need Raymond Archer, too.
“He’s a Ghanaian and I’m proud of him doing business, I don’t do politics with these kinds of things, so, I think they were too harsh”, Mr Agyapong condemnedA.
He said: “Anybody who suffered that fate, I personally believe that they should have given them the opportunity to take their things out of the place”, noting: “My brother, it is not very easy to raise capital to do business, so, when you see a friend doing business and you think he has a political affiliation, tomorrow is waiting for you”.

so OFORI SO IF ITS COURTS ORDER THE SHOULDNT USE SENSE OR USE GOOD DECISION EEI HMM. UR TIME GO COME
You have a demented mind. If everyone is talking about raymond, you have this platform why don't you also talk about those you think you are concerned about but you are accusing everyone of talking about raymond. Sometimes it is hard to understand how fuuuulish some persons can be.
So everyone is talking about Raymond, how about the rest of them that were affected? Hmm!!!
Ken for your information Raymond was given an eviction notice one whole year but he chose to go to court to seek an injunction when he knew very well that he had acquired the land illegally. When it comes to politicians and rich people we should temper justice with mercy but when it come to the ordinary people, we should apply the law strictly right? we hear you.
So some people are happy dat this on wise decision to destroyed a factory is ok laahilaalahilala my God so dis is how far politics has gone to I see den let nobody say anything if tomorrow macdan see his empire been destroyed wat kind of ***barred word*** is dis jesus christ
Wow, Kennedy agyepong, you are a wise man, indeed. I don't know why sometimes too you act as if there is something wrong with your head. For this thought, it's only a person of a sound mind who will have. Try and stay in this tangent afterall, we are all living for our children children's generation. As you said today it may be raymond so some npp guys will be happy. Even when a rival in npp takes over in future, those who did this wickedness will pay one day.
The first time was some Ghana ID card deal where you spoke ill of the then CEO. It turns out you wanted the contract for you and your cohorts. Now this one too? I even heard you talked about Mr. McDANs contract to run a terminal. All put together, I have come to take your word with a "pinch of salt" - I think you do not know as much as you claim to.
Ken you talk too much this is Court orders so give us break
@Edu, should it continue like this forever? can we have a change where everyone would be seen and respected as a Ghanaian? why should we allow politics to destroy us?
Double tongue talker. What is in your closet that you fear tomorrow? Due process was used in court and what "extra" time did the man need to vacate the land. All ye who have taken government lands for your mansions would suffer the same fate but we the law abiding citizens don't have to fear whooooo!!!
