He is said to be arguably holding the enviable title of the most verbally abusive politician in this our dear nation, since the inception of the 1992 Republican Constitution. Again, he is also the only individual who has been excessively touting himself and blowing his own trumpet as the richest legislator in Ghana�s present Parliament, but critics say he is also the dumbest of the 275 Member House. Again, he carries himself as the most pious Ghanaian with unblemished integrity, having been hiding his disreputable past. The legislator with this envious but worthless �trophy� is none other than the foul-mouth MP for Assin Central and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Kencity Media, Kennedy Ohene Agyapong. Despite the sordid skeletons in his cupboard, the loquacious legislator from Assin Dompreh in the Central Region whose first born child is a Jamaican has, at the least opportunity launched verbal offensive against anybody he thinks disagrees with him. He seems to believe in the now discredited doctrine of pre-emptive attacks espoused by the disgraced former American President George Bush and his bunch of potential war criminals such as Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld. He descends into the gutters to badmouth anyone who disagrees with him or holds contrary view. At times he does that unprovoked. Not even the President of the republic of Ghana, John Mahama, nor leading members and elders of his own opposition New Patriotic Party-including former President John Agyekum Kufuor, former chief of staff Kwadwo Mpiani, former trade minister Alan Kyerematen and even the �almighty� Overlord of Asante, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II have escaped the harsh acerbic tongue of the morally degraded Assin Central representative in Ghana�s august law- making House. His mere presence in our legislature speaks volume on the kind of leadership that we have as a nation and the defects of democracy itself as a form of governance. For it is only under democracy that such an individual can claim to be part of the leadership of this nation. This brings to fore the need for us to start debating the kind of leaders we choose as a people and even go beyond that and critique democracy and ask ourselves whether it is our ideal form of government as a nation. For portraying himself as the only saint in Kwame Nkrumah�s Ghana, whiles depicting others as filthy corrupt and undeserving of occupying any position, The aL-hAJJ, in a series of editions, will unveil the true character, identity and source/s of the so-called wealth of the holier than thou former Adisadel College and Winneba Secondary School old student, Kennedy Agyapong. The aL-hAJJ�s investigations would reveal how the NPP�s loudmouth MP who began life as street boy selling PK gum in Accra, sojourned in the United States of America after a brief stay in Germany in 1984 and ended up in our legislature that is supposed to be referred to as the august House of the land. This paper will also reveal how the boastful so-called law-maker initially while in America, worked as a baker, filling station attendant, and later as a cab driver before becoming a visa �contractor�, graduating into a boisterous member of a drug cartel some of whom are still mesmerizing the nation. He now claims to be a conventional businessman, thanks to the multi-million dollar energy contract awarded to him by former President Kufuor�s government. Ironically, President Kufuor is now one of his bitterest political foes. The big-mouth MP, though previously claimed he had saved enough to buy himself a taxi in America, from which he was later to become a proud owner of seven other taxis all within seven months, what he has never fully disclosed and has remained a guarded secret is: his real source of income that enabled him to hit his so-called �first one million dollars�, that made him become a millionaire he claims he is now. Though, he has in the past admitted to friends and Ghanaians how he took advantage of the then newly-introduced US- Visa lottery by the Regan-administration in 1996 to make his first $1,000,000 by assisting about one thousand Ghanaians to migrate to the US at a fee of $5000, he has doggedly never disclosed how the $5000 fee came about and why? Indeed, The aL-hAJJ�s scrupulous investigations reveal that, Kennedy Agyapong since 1997 was involved in visa racketeering business with an Ewe lady officer at the American Embassy called Eugenia, who was later to become his mistress after his marriage to his present wife, Stella with whom he has a daughter. Ironically, Eugenia is from the ethnic group he Kennedy despised so much; Ewe. In the run up to the 2012 general elections, he vowed to annihilate the Ewes together with the Gas if he and his party did not get their way. This eventually attracted him a treason and terrorism charges in 2012. Apparently, Madam Eugenia, Kennedy Agyapong�s girlfriend, while working with the American embassy in Ghana and in charge of DV lottery, diverted documents of winners of American visa lottery who went to the embassy for interview and later sent them to her boyfriend (Kennedy Agyapong) who was operating a phony DV lottery organization to be used for others who have neither applied nor even qualified. �Pious� Kennedy Agyapong through his bogus visa company will then sell the �stolen� documents bearing the identities of the original and qualified DV applicants but purposely rejected by Eugenia, his girlfriend in the American embassy to these unqualified would-be immigrants to the United States for huge sums of monies ranging from $6000 and above. Luck however eluded the lovebirds one day when an aggrieved Ghanaian based in US whose relative�s identity and documents were stolen in like manner and given to another person to travel to America reported the matter to the State Department. The said beneficiary of this particular visa scam unfortunately, and unknown to her, on arrival in the United States went to stay in the aggrieved Ghanaian man�s home. Upon examination of the documents that enabled her enter the US; he noticed it was his wife�s papers which were allegedly rejected at the US embassy in Ghana, so he quickly sent the alarm to the US State Department leading to investigations and eventual dismissal of the lady in question. Kennedy Agyapong, as a compensation for Eugenia�s suffering and job loss sent her to live in the US, though unconfirmed reports picked by The aL-hAJJ says the two secretly got married and are blessed with one child. Despite all the dirt on Kennedy Agyapong as a drug dealer which is evident in his recent exhibition of knowledge about the lifestyles of almost all busted or alleged drug dealers in Ghana, he ended up as a lawmaker in Ghana�s Parliament. �The modus operandi of Kennedy and his mistress Eugenia was that, the latter deliberately failed successful applicants� of DV lottery and present their documents to the Assin Central MP and task other people desirous of traveling to America to contact him (Ken) to help them migrate to US. According to source �Kennedy Agyepong�s phony immigration business in the US charged the visa applicants as much as sixteen thousand dollars per couple. This, according to reports, enable the braggart and self-acclaimed NPP financier made a lot of money for which reason he has consistently been trumpeting to have made his first $1million. �While Kennedy Agyapong and his then girlfriend were enjoying the fruit of their dubious deals, they met their waterloo when one of Eugenia�s victims whose document was used to process another lady�s document by Ken�s company ended up in the house of the husband of the woman whose documents were used for the transaction. �The lady�s husband was said to have reported the incident to the State Department after realizing his wife�s document was used to facilitate another lady�s travel of which investigation was conducted. �During the investigation, and unknown to Eugenia and other embassy staffs, she was captured on CCTV folding winners of visa lottery application into her bag and that led to her dismissal. �But she was lucky to have an American green card which allowed her to live and work in the US, therefore she hurriedly travelled to America to stay with Kennedy Agyapong who later impregnated her and now has a child with her�, a source close to Kennedy Agyapong told this paper. Aside having a child each with his Ewe-born Eugenia and first wife, Stella, the talkative MP also has 14 children with other women some of whom are of northern extraction, a source in NPP who said the party is tired of Kennedy Agyapong and his antics revealed.
