There was drama and tension at the General Legal Council (GLC) yesterday when the Member of Parliament for Assin Central, Kennedy Agyapong, told the distinguished panel members that he did not fear Anas and that he would remove the undercover journalist’s mask when both parties left the GLC building.
The panel, obviously amused by the comment told Kennedy Agyapong that if he dares touch Anas or any of his team members’ mask, they would have him arrested and charged for assault.
The Assin Central MP left the GLC angry and complained to the panel that they did not show respect to him. Meanwhile, the MP has not publicly commented on the issue.
The panel is made up of distinguished Supreme Court Judges, Retired Supreme Court Judges as well as senior member of the legal profession.
The General Legal Council (GLC) yesterday dismissed a complaint filed by the MP for Assin Central, against ace undercover investigative journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas,
The GLC however declined jurisdiction in a complaint of professional misconduct brought against Anas on the grounds that Anas was not a lawyer at the time the alleged incident happened.
It further directed the MP to report Anas to the police if he felt Anas was corrupt.
According to the GLC, Anas was neither the police nor the Attorney-General to terminate a trial.
Recall that the MP, in July 2018, dragged the undercover journalist to the GLC, claiming that Anas misconducted himself professionally as a lawyer in a manner that bordered on “moral turpitude.”
The complaint letter dated July 5, 2018, and addressed to the Chairperson of the Disciplinary Committee of the General Legal Counsel, asked that disciplinary action be taken against Anas as a lawyer.
According to the MP, Anas and a Chief State Attorney, Ms Ellen Kwawukume, connived to cause a fraud case to be dismissed.
He alleged that Anas’ style of investigations, which he described as ‘entrapping people’ should not be countenanced.
This is not the first time Anas has bloodied the MP. Anas, for his part, has dragged Mr Agyapong to court for defaming him and is asking the High Court to award aggravated damages to the tune of GH¢25 million arising from defamatory materials published by the MP.
A sports journalist, Listowell Yesu Bukarson, has been granted the lawful attorney to stand in for Anas.
In another breath, Ms. Kwawukume, who is currently on retirement, has also sued the MP for GH¢25 million for defamation.

Ghanaians bewary of NPP THIEVESSS who build CATHEDRALS yet they fear ANAS like snake

MY BROTHER KEN, BE CAREFUL paaaa hmmmmm
my only advise to ken is that if he looses the court case as well he shd just hire assassins to trail anas and send him to his ancestors even if it will take them yrs.

You must be one very st*pid person. You have been blinded by ***barred word***. If you can sit there and support a ***barred word*** rat like Kennedy as he tries to bring down the only real fighter we have had in a long time, you are a huge moron.
@Abena, Ken is fake. Unfortunately, he has people following him blindly.
Who should show you respect? first of all, do you respect yourself? you are one of the people in Ghana who have in their mind that, once you are so called rich, you can do anything and the law will spare you. Go and touch him. You have been travelling all of the world but your mind is still blank
The masses are just looking on hopelessly, helplessly and giggle as the powerful few in the country make an untouchable monster out of this Anas Aremeyaw Anas. He's virtually above the law now, amassing wealth all over the place whilst he destroys thousands of lives and yet we look on and cheer him up. Time will tell.
Ken's behaviour towards Anas shows he is a fake anti-corruption crusader. When his cronies were affected, he is fighting Anas at all angles. Where was he when Anas was doing other cases under the the same modus operandi? God is watching,
