Kennedy Ohene Agyapong, the MP for Assin Central has threatened to burn the houses of former President John Dramani Mahama and some NDC bigwigs, claiming without evidence that the NDC is burning the markets.
On Wednesday, the National Investigations Bureau released Eric Adogla, the driver of Peter Otokunor, an NDC Deputy General Secretary, without charge after arresting and detaining him on Monday.
“Mahama, let me tell you, you stay at Chain Homes, which belongs to Alhaji Seidu Agongo. You cannot go and burn somebody’s fourteen stalls and go scot-free. Mahama, Asiedu Nketia, Akamba, Baba Jamal, you should be careful, else we’ll burn your houses too,” Kennedy Agyapong said on ‘The Dialogue’ show on Net 2 TV, Wednesday, December 23.
He added, “If it continues like that, Mahama we’ll burn your house and if you don’t take care, we’ll burn you the human being. We cannot allow these things to go on in this country.”
Agyapong alleged that the NDC has indicated that, “between now [Wednesday] and Saturday, they said they will be burning the Kumasi market, and burn Cape Coast market. What is going on in this country?”
He warned the former president to simply relocate from his Chain Homes residence else he will gather people to the place and burn his property.
He further warned Lt. Col. Larry Gbevlo-Lartey (Rtd.), a former NDC appointee, to also be on guard else his East Legon property which is just closer to his will be razed down by fire.
Not even the caution from the host of the show could restrain the MP from making more scandalous statements about the leaders of the opposition party.
“If they burn any market again, Mahama Chain Homes is there; do you think you are the [only] ones that can organise? I now dare you [Mahama], Asiedu Nketia, Gbevlo-Lartey, Akamba and Baba Jamal…if we hear any burning in any part of the country, Mahama we’ll burn your house,” he stressed.

Ho, Dec 23, GNA – An alleged Jujuman and his accomplice scaled the walls of the Volta Regional Directorate of the Electoral Commission to post the National Democratic Congress (NDC) petition in Ho after the group staged a three-hour demonstration through the principal streets demanding a change in the verdict of the December 7 polls results.
The duo, contrary to the agreed designated number of party leaders, who were supposed to present their petition to the EC Officials, got to the premises only to meet a locked gate.
The duo, who were not part of the designated five, then scaled the wall and began to do enchantment, pouring some powdery substances and invoking words to the chagrin of the Police officials, who were outside the EC’s premises, protecting lives and property.
Another drama was the slaughtering of ram at the main gate of the EC, Ho office, with the blood sprinkled across the gate and in a circular direction targeted at invoking certain spiritual action against the EC.
Chief Superintendent of Police, Mr Jessey Opare, Volta Regional Operational Commander described the act of the duo as unlawful entry and said appropriate action would be taken on them.
He said the Command decided not to undertake any “premature arrests” at the event grounds as that could lead to chaos.
He however said the Police would invite the organisers of the protests to assist in their next action.
Mr Opare explained that the Command received notification from the NDC regarding the demonstration and had given permission but with a condition that only five of party Executives of the Party would be allowed into the premises of the EC to present their petition.
He said the five could not perform the task as EC officials were on break.
The teeming group alleged the EC stole the verdict from the flagbearer of the NDC to President Akufo-Addo.
The supporters clad in red chanted “No Mahama, No peace” with placards inscriptions reading, “This is naked thievery,” “You are a dent on our democracy,” “You can still everything, no our votes,” “Speak up international community,” “Declare Mahama now.”
Meanwhile, Mr Henry Ametefee, Regional Chairman of NDC said the NDC would not allow the sovereign will of the people to be undermined.
He said the NDC would not accept the results as declared by the EC because the results were fraudulent and inaccurate.
He commended the media and the police for showing professionalism in protecting the protesters.

According to the source, the drivers parked the buses and left and later saw smoke coming out from one of the vehicle.
“We couldn’t control the fire and it transferred from one bus to the other. We called fire service to help the situation. When they came, the fire had engulfed and burnt all the four buses”
The cause of the fire is yet to be known but it is suspected that an electrical fault is believed to have sparked the blaze
It took the intervention of the Personnel from the Fire Service to control the inferno Officials of STC are tight-lipped over the unfortunate development when reached by MyNewsGh.com for comment on the matter.
Meanwhile an investigation has been commenced into the matter by officials of the Ghana National Fire Service who managed to save the situation.
The swearing-in of President Akufo-Addo which is scheduled for January 7, 2021, will be held in parliament contrary to the norm where it is held at the Black Square.
This follows an appeal by parliamentarians to have subsequent swearing-in done in the precincts of Ghana’s parliament and not the independence square.
This was conveyed by Deputy Information Mister Pius Enam Hadzide at a press briefing in Accra today where he said: “the transition team has favourably considered the request of Parliament and has decided that the swearing of President Akufo-Addo on January 7, shall happen before Parliament and within the precincts of Parliament.”
President Akufo-Addo was declared the winner of the 2020 presidential election by the Electoral Commission. The election which has been described as a closely contested one is still in dispute as the main opposition party NDC and John Mahama have refused to accept the outcome.

Fomena MP, Lawyer Andrew Amoako Assiamah became the trending subject in the 2020 elections.
Post-elections as the 7th Parliament comes to as a close, he surprised the entire country with his comment about going back to the NPP, after they have sacked him from the party.
Few weeks to the general elections, NPP sacked the Fomena MP from Parliament on the grounds of not going contrary to party regulations, after he filed to become an independent candidate.
However, he has decided to forgo all issues and come back to the party.
Now, the question people are asking is – What really influenced his decision to go back to the NPP, after have earlier disgraced him.
But, how was they able to convinced such a man who holds his values in such an esteem. The NPP are really lucky.
Andrew Amoako Assiamah has reportedly opted for 3 major positions in the next Akufo Addo’s government, and its absolutely clear that the President has finally agreed to make him a key member of his next government.
According to close sources, the Fomena MP may be appointed as Minister of State in charge of Lands and Natural Resources. As a trained Surveyor, having served as key member of the Lands and Natural Resources Committee in parliament, he is overly qualified to hold such a position.
The nation is currently in deadlock over the Techiman South constituency. Though the results have been declared for the NPP Parliamentary candidate, the NDC dispute the result and have resolved to fight it to the end. The NDC claim that their candidate rather won the parliamentary election with about 293 votes.
Indeed, both political parties claim they will contest certain seats that they lost. The NDC aside fighting for some parliamentary seats have also rejected the presidential results in totality. They claim the Electoral Commission rigged the election to favor the ruling party.
One of such critics of the conduct of the EC to clearly present results without errors has been Kwesi Pratt. He has claimed that the results were not about an NPP win or about John Mahama but rather for democracy to prevail. He noted that the EC must be compelled to do the right thing.
Today, December 23, 2020, Kwesi Pratt was in the studios of Metro TV on ‘Good Morning Ghana’. He joined Eugene Antwi and host Randy Abbey to discuss the ongoing brouhaha over Techiman South.
Kwesi noted that the court was the last resort. He was of the view that the NDC can employ other peaceful mediums before going to court. Kwesi explained that the court is not made up of divine beings in dealing with cases
However, this did not go down with a listener who texted that since Kwesi Pratt is insisting that the court did not have divine people, were the demonstrations of the NDC divine either. After the text was read by Randy Abbey, the host, Kwesi Pratt fumed and later made a revelation.
“I was threatened this morning by someone who claims to be a PhD holder in Legon. He was angry about my position on the election. You can disagree with me but have no right to insult me. Very soon I will drop his number. We are all debating in the national interest.
The way things are going I am afraid for the nation. Why do people feel by taking their phones and sending threatening messages and insults they can frighten us into abandoning our position. It is not possible. Please don’t waste your time. It ain’t gonna happen” Kwesi fired.
This is not the first time journalist are being threatened after the 2020 elections. Journalists like Umaru Sanda and Afia Pokuaa have made similar claims.

The driver of the Deputy General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Peter Boamah Otokunor, has been picked up by the National Intelligence Bureau (NIB), formerly known as Bureau of National Investigations (BNI), 3news has gathered.
The arrest is in connection with recent market fires recorded across the country.
It is unclear what prompted the action from the NIB officials but many believe the recent spate of market fires may be deliberately masterminded by elements within the opposition party, which has since the December 9 declaration demonstrated against the results of the elections.
Major markets in Koforidua, Kantamanto, Asankragwa and, lately, Kaneshie, have been torched in one way or the other.
At Kaneshie, it took the intervention of personnel from the Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS) on Saturday night to stop the fire from spreading to other shops.
Only nine shops were affected, 3news.com gathered, as the “robust” fire system complemented efforts by the fire officers.

A provision has been made, at the instance of the Vice President, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, to get the traders back in business.

Executive Director of the Institute of Democratic Governance (IDEG) Dr. Emmanuel Akwetey has criticized the Electoral Commission (EC) for failing to reach consensus and collaborations with the political parties at the Inter-Party Advisory Committee (IPAC) meetings prior to the elections.
Dr. Akwetey noted that at the moment the IPAC has broken down, otherwise, he said, the committee should have been able to deal with issues that are emerging from the just-ended presidential and parliamentary elections.
He made these comments while speaking on TV3’s Key Points programme on Saturday, December 19.
His comments come on the heels of the refusal of the Presidential Candidate of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) John Dramani Mahama to accept the results of the elections, a situation that has thrown supporters of the party onto the streets across the country to agitate against the elections management body.
Mr. Mahama claimed that the EC manipulated the results in favour of the President, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo hence, his inability to accept the results.
But Dr. Akwetey told host of the Key Points Abena Tabi that “I think that so far, we have had mechanisms, the IPAC was important in getting the parties to come to some consensus and to collaborate with the EC.
“There were times that their agreements led to reforms. The compilation of a new elections register, for instance, the introduction of biometric system in voter registration came from an IPAC discussion and an agreement between the parties.
“All the reforms that we have had in elections which have been written in law came through the IPAC and the agreements that the parties reached. So in that case, I think that the situation that we are facing today, a lot of it has to do with how the EC did not manage the IPAC process.
“For collaborations or consensus it takes time and the fact that as we speak now consensus and deliberations have broken down at the IPAC level.”
