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.

Akans are their own enemies. YES! An ewe or Northerner will not behave asuch. ZIP it & govern. In fighting after 60 years not enough?
Oh NPP is it the change you brought to us ? Kennedy Agyapong is the root of Delta Force and NPP are going to pass through many disgrace.
Please, leave the man alone to do his job. What do you want him to do? To support the unlawful activities of delta force? Ken Dapaah is a minister of state for all Ghanaians. Allow him to do his job. The president has confidence in him that is why he appointed him to that ministry.Undermining Ken Dapaah is undermining the president. Allow him to perform his duties without fear or favor.
Whatever any Ghanaian thinks about Ken Agyepong ; frankly he is one of the most patriotic Ghanaians that is around today because this was what JJ Rawlings was exposing in 1979 but unfortunetly wenyt went astray and lost his way ; this time we have somebody who does not carry a gun but want to TALK AND EXPOSE THESE SATANIC DOINGS IN SOCIETY ; the man can be arrogant ; have a lot of high octane temper which makes many people to trust him today in Ghana; NAME ME ONE INDIVIDUAL WHO CAN BE TRUSTED IN GHANA TODAY -NON ; the Police ; Army; BNI ; ECCO are all UNTRUSTWORTHY even the MI5 and CIA in the the Us and UK use him to collect intelligence on Ghana ; the man is bitter about the way politicians treat Ghanaians ; the strange thing is that some Ghanaians with their hypocrital lying Judeo-Christian religious bias seem to think lying and cheating one another is the way to go to develop a nation ; the man has the opportunity to travel almost every day to these developed counteries including China;Europe;US and sees the petrotism to develop their counterires and comes back to Ghana and sees the corruption and fraud in our society by a few people and knows as Ghanaians we can do better ; go to Korle Bu Hospital today and see the spectacle of people lying on rickty hospital beds with blood stained matresses and people who cannot pay fortheir hospital fees AND IT MAKES YOU CRY !!!!with bitterness but then you have individuals virtually over pricing contracts and cheating the government and diverting funds into their private accounts and are made to sir the front of churches because they got cash ; these things Ken Agyepong is exposing for the benefit of Ghana and you have the typical Ghanaian hypocrate pretending nothing is happening ; Look at this Ibrahim Mahama and the Jon Mahama family lutting Ghana and building huge properties for their families future and you have the chinese comming to pollute our waters and Ghanaians keep quiet and are happy because the Bible says FORGIVE _BULL >>>>>>S ; some families have ammased so much wealth they have more than five cars in the families and have enogh to eat ; whilst the masses do not have proper transport system;and some people it difficult to have a meal a day ; look at the ambulance; one ministers imports secondhand ambulance at huge cost and creams off the excessive profits ;today all the ambulance are not working ; FOR I THINK GHANAIANS SHOULD STAND UP AND BACK KEN AGYEPONG ON HIS CRUSADE TO CLEAN THE SYSTEM ; how can DR Opuni a medical doctor spend the whole of the $1.5bn loan syndicated by signing huge contracts with Lordina Mahama and others but Ghanaians clap for DR Opuni whilst they cannot get paracetemol in hospitals ; GHANAIANS SHOULD WAKE UP AND BACK KEN AGYEPONG TO EXPOSE THESE POLITICIANS AND CIVIL SERVANTS AND STOP THIS HYPOCRACY PRETENDING THAT DISSIPATING GOVERNMENT MONEY HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THEM BECAUSE IT OUR FAMILIES THAT SUFFER BESIDES EBVERYBODY IS THE GOVERNMENT NOT NPP AND KEN AGYEPONG !!!!!!!
All the Ashante regional executives should resign and allow kan dapaa to take the party
Now, let me ask a simple question, who are those behind all these vigilante groups and if they are allowed by the laws of the land? Ghana must be very careful it seems we are too excited with the peace we have been enjoying for years. These can lead to very disturbing issues.
no amount of dollars and Euros can develop Africa. why should we borrow Euros and dollars when we have more than enough resources to turn Africa into a first class society? don't confuse dollars with wealth. dollars is not backed by gold!
Let the NPP takes Ghanaians for granted and allow the so called Delta Force to misbehave with impunity. They will regret these actions in the 2020 elections. We supported the NPP for change but we are already disappointed. I dont think there is going to be any positive change from the way the show has began, it job for the boys as usual. Ghanaians should not expect any positive change in the way the country is governed.
Change has really come, God have mercy.
Kan Dapaah wants to please everybody in Ghana including kofi adams and the NDC. Some of us are patient because of nana addo and if care is not taking npp youth groups would take matters in their hands. To see ndc men still occupying top most jobs after they transffered, sacked, and I'll treated Loyal npp faithfuls at work and continue to do same today whiles the likes of kan dapaah still supports them is very dangerous.Ken agyapong is right. The top hierarchy of npp are fighting for post without offering any word of encouragement to us. Mr. Joe kpenge of the national sports authority is still at post as chief executive officer. Jan dapaah should check some of the terrible transfers and things he did at the Accra sports stadium when ndc held its last rally there. If this is how things are going to be, then no one should blame the delta force. Where was kan dapaah when akuffo addo's house was taken hostage by ndc keep fit men. Swine
