Over the past week, some members of the Democratic National Congress called on state security agencies to take action against Assin’s central Member of Parliament, Kennedy Agyapong, for threatening to burn down houses belonging to former President John Dramani Mahama and some bigwigs from the NDC.

Responding to calls from NDC members, Member of Parliament for the Sekondi constituency, Andrew Egyapa Mercer, says there is nothing stopping Mr. Mahama or anyone offended by his colleague’s comment from reporting the matter to the policeman.

According to the MP, while he has yet to hear exactly what the Assin Central MP said, he sees no reason why those who are offended by the comments should not go to the police themselves instead of waiting for law enforcement agencies. security take action.

“I have not listened to Kennedy Agyapong’s comments against former President Mahama. State security should act, but what prevents those to whom the comments were made from reporting to the police? “The deputy questioned when he appeared on the morning show of GhOne TV on Monday.

Kennedy Agyapong went berserk on his Net2 TV accusing former President Mahama and members of the NDC of being behind recent cases of fire outbreaks in some markets across the country.

He threatened to cause the burning of properties belonging to Mr. Mahama and some of the NDC’s big shots if the burning doesn’t stop.

“Mahama, let me tell you, you are staying at Chain Homes, which belongs to Alhaji Seidu Agongo. You can’t go burn someone’s fourteen stalls and go free. Mahama, Asiedu Nketia, Akamba, Baba Jamal, you have to be careful, otherwise we will burn your houses too, ”Kennedy Agyapong said on ‘The Dialogue’ on Net 2 TV, Wednesday December 23rd.

He added: “If it continues like this, Mahama we will burn your house and if you don’t take care of yourself, we will burn the human being. We cannot allow these things to happen in this country. “
