The New Patriotic Party
(NPP) MP for Assin Central, Mr. Kennedy Agyapong on Monday, September 28 failed
to show up in court to answer contempt charges due to what his lawyers said was
“complication from a post-COVID-19 condition.”
His lead counsel, Mr. Kwame
Gyan explained that his client got the complication after last Friday’s court
hearing.
He, therefore, presented a
medical excuse form and requested the court to adjourn the case for 14 days to
allow his client to recuperate.
The presiding judge,
Justice Amos Wuntah Wuni agreed to adjourn the case but ordered the medical
doctor who wrote the medical excuse duty to appear before the court on Thursday.
Ghanaian broadcaster cum
political activist, Kevin Ekow Baidoo Taylor reacting to the court order in a
Facebook post has said that the Member of Parliament can never escape jail
sentence tomorrow.
He added that if Kennedy
Agyapong jokes with Judge Amos Wunta Wuni, the high court judge who is
presiding over this case, he will be jailed.
He wrote; Please if you know Kennedy Agyapong please
tell him if he plays careless judge WUNTA will jail him tomorrow oooo yoooo
