Editor in-chief of the New Crusading Guide, Abdul Malik Kweku Baako says he does not easily concur with ideas from his investigative journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas on issues relating to their work.
According to him, although he respects the thoughts of Anas – they deliberate thoroughly on sensitive issues before coming to conclusion to embark on a project.
“I have to be honest with him [Anas], but that doesn’t influence my thought. I don’t follow him like a zombie when he says something. It won’t happen,” Mr. Baako said on Peace FM’s flagship morning show Kokrokoo
The Assin Central MP Kennedy Agyapong has said if Abdul-Malik Kweku Baako knew how “evil and wicked” his investigative journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas is - then he would stop defending his entrapment methodology he employs in his undercover journalism practice.
But the veteran journalist who disclosed that he shares the same birthday with Anas said “I have known him since 1997-1998 thereabouts as an intern from GIJ [Ghana Institute of Journalism]. He chose to work with me and he came and I accepted him. He decided to stay after his internship because he said he feels comfortable working with me.”
“Today, he [Anas] is not just a reporter or the acting Editor-in-Chief, he is actually a co-owner, and he owns 40% of Kweku Baako Media limited and I own 60%. That is how far he’s risen,” he said.

NOBODY DARE WADE, WITH IMPUNITY, INTO THE PRIVACY DOMAIN OF A FELLOW CITIZEN WHATEVER CORRUPTION QUALMS HE/SHE ENTERTAINS. IF THIS GENTLEMAN TRIED HIS PRIVACY VIOLATION ABUSES IN MY TERRAIN HE WOULD BE DEAD SECONDS IN SPITE OF ALL THE LAWS THE GHANA CONSTITUTION ENFORCES. IT IS SIMPLY WRONG TO ABUSE A NEIGHBOR. THE GHANA POLICE FORCE SHOULD KNOW WHY IT IS THERE AN INSTITUTION OF STATE. THE LAWS OF THIS NATION MUST WORK, AND MUST BE SEEN TO BE VIBRANTLY OPERATIONAL. ABUSES ARE SIMPLY WRONG, ANAS!
My question is where was Anas Ameyaw when Dr Opuni was chopping state money nyafonyafo? Again, where was Anas Ameyaw when Kennedy Agyapong investigated and brought NDC and Wayomey corruption deal out? But rather Ana's is busily setting innocent people up and tanishing their image. Do you think it is right to premiere the video? The kind of investigations done by Kennedy Agyapong is what we need..

Anas, according to a colleague his, called Ohemeng Tawiah disclosed on Nhyira FM, that he(Anas) has 146 or 149 prosthetic face masks. So, Ken Agyapong is putting innocent persons lives in danger by publishing those supposed pictures of Anas. I am vindicated by your testimony that Boy Salinko has claimed ownership of one of the pictures. I agree with Ken on his drive to fight corruption, but I disagree with him this case.HE IS CRYING MORE THAN THE BEREAVED. Why should you be concerned if you are not a ***barred word*** at a place where a ***barred word*** is being hunted?
KENNEDY AGYAPONG IF HE IS A PARIOT AND CLEAN, HE MUST DIRECT HIS ENERGIES IN SUPPORTING ANAS FINANCIALLY AS HE CLAIMS TO BE THE RICHEST MAN IN GHANA.
Ken Agyapong must direct his energy towards fighting corruption in the NPP. We all know about Asenso-Boakye and co at the presidency; taking upto $20, 000 before one can see the president. We quickly brushed that aside because it will bring down the Party. These are the things we need to fight. Those who have charged people like Ken Agyapong to fight Anas for them must know that this won't hold because the whole nation is solidly behind Anas. NDC can never win the 2020 Election but it is so easy for NPP to loose the elections for them. Why is Ken Agyapong so passionate and vocal about Anas? Is Ken very Happy for the Nation to have Judges who could easily be Bribed so that rich people like him can always buy Justice? I am not God but if Ken does not take care and stop the way he speaks he may end up having Heart Failure. Is Ghana for Ken Agyapong Alone?

THE FACT REMAINS THAT, UNDER THE PREVIOUS REGIME/NDC ,CUSTOMERS WERE GIVEN SUBSIDIES(SUBSIDY1, SUBSIDY 2, SUBSIDY 3 AND UTILITY RELIEF) WHICH CUSTOMERS POPULAR CALLED BONUS. UNDER THE CURRENT ARRANGEMENT UNDER NPP, NPP IN A DISGUISE APPROACH, DID A SWAP. REDUCED ONE COMPONENT OF THE BILL WHICH IS THE ENERGY CHARGE AND CLANDESTINELY WITHRAWED THE SUBSIDIES/BONUSES. THE NET EFFECT IS ZERO OR MINIMAL CHANGE ON CUSTOMERS BILL OR MONTHLY PREPAYMENT AMOUNT. PURC IS AWARE OF THESE GOLDEN FACTS BUT ARE JUST MISCHIEVOUS TO DO THE BIDDING OF GHANA TO SACRIFICE ECG. IS PURC SAYING THAT THEIR MONITORING HAS DONE ANY SAMPLE AUDIT ON ECG SINCE THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE TARIFF
Look all right thinking Ghanains must rise up against Ken Agyepong. Those of us who have been victims of corruption in Ghana are so happy and pray for Anas. No person with his head on will fight Anas. Ken is fast making himself No 1 public enemy by attacking Anas. Let us all rise up gaiants him, speak against him, stop listening to Oman FM and NET 2 TV. We should not patronise any of his businesses in Ghana. This is not womanis1ing issues oh, we are talking of rights of ghanaians being undue abused through corruption by people in power. Anas God bless you. Go on. Ken and his cohorts cannot do you any thing. If any thing happens to Anas, Ken Agyapong will pay for that.
Kumawood actor, Davis Abraham popularly known as Oboy Salinko has said he will sue firebrand politician Kennedy Agyapong for using his photos in a recent campaign against ace investigative journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas. According to the actor, the MP used an old photo of him and claimed he is Anas, a journalist known to be on the hit-list of many corrupt people in Ghana for exposing their illegal dealings. “I have seen the photo and I am pissed off. It is my photo in one of the movies I shot. Does he want someone to kill me? This is bad.” Salinko said. Kennedy Agyapong has been on a sole campaign to reveal the identity of journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas ahead of the premiere of his much-hyped investigative documentary titled Number 12. The documentary exposes corruption within Ghanaian football administration and the politician is said to be in the film. He has previously called Kwesi Nyantakyi corrupt but after finding out he is in the video, he is singing a new tune with his characteristically wild allegations about the journalist.
