Kennedy Agyapong apologizes for insulting court Judge

Member of Parliament for Assin Central, Kennedy Ohene Agyapong has apologized to the Chief Justice, Judges, and Majistrate in Ghana for insulting a Judge presiding over his land ownership case currently in court.

Mr Agyapong’s apology comes after he was summoned by a High Court judge Amos Wuntah Wuni for contempt.

But the Legislator in a statement said upon sober reflection he’s noticed he erred hence his apology to the members of the Judiciary.

“I have come to the realization that without prejudice to the substantive case, my expression about the court’s opinion was harsh thus I find it necessary to render an unqualified apology without reservation whatsoever to the honourable Chief Justice, Judges and Magistrates and any individual who have been offended by my uncomplimentary comments.”

He added: “thus prior to the publication of this letter, I have appeared on the same platform on 7th day of September 2020 and rendered same apology to the Hon. Chief Justice, Judges, and Magistrates.

“I must conclude that I strongly believe in our judicial system and can never denigrate its integrity. Indeed I was set free by the court when I was charged with treason in 2012.”

Background

The Assin Central MP, Kennedy Ohene Agyapong chided a court judge for granting an injunction against him in a land ownership dispute.

Mr Agyapong described the judges’ decision as “stupid”. This is because, in his opinion, the injunction was granted without due diligence conducted.

The Assin Central legislator noted this speaking on the Seat Show of Net 2 TV on Tuesday, September 2, 2020

He noted that, the judge had granted an injunction against him on a property he has owned for as long as 18 years.

 According to Mr Agyapong, a man wants to steal the said land from him through the dubious means, for which he has through his lawyers presented fake documents claiming ownership to a court and succeeded in being granted an injunction by the judge.

“Listen to the reason why I am angry. The lawyer wrote the thing on August 5, and the judge scheduled appearance on August 13. I didn’t get anything from them; then on September 1, you granted an injunction on the property. You are a stupid judge; I will face you. You are a stupid judge. 18 years that I’ve had the land nobody served me and then I get called and told that an injunction has been placed on it. You are a stupid judge,”

The furious MP added;

“You think I fear someone? I am not like Anas who will take a bribe from you. I will deal with you…nobody served me anything. I didn’t know what was going on. Then all of a sudden you say I should not go to the land. You are an animal of a judge,” he averred.
