Controversial New Patriotic Party (NPP) Member of Parliament for Assin Central, Kennedy Ohene Agyapong has appointed Eric. O Darko of Darko Law Firm as his solicitor in the defamation suit filed against him by investigative journalist, Anas Aremeyaw Anas.

Mr Agyapong on Tuesday July 3, 2018 filed a conditional appearance in court with Eric O. Darko a US-based Ghanaian Lawyer practicing both in the US and Ghana.

Mr. Darko was a co-counsel of Maxwell Opoku Agyemang in the petition case against Charlotte Osei, the immediate past chairperson of the Electoral Commission.

Renowned Investigative journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas has through his lawyer, Mr Kissi Agyebeng, sued the Member of Parliament for Assin Central,  for defamation.

He is demanding GHS25 million in damages.

Mr Agyapong launched a scathing attack on Anas’s modus operandi in his journalism practice shortly after the journalist disclosed his intention to release his latest documentary which uncovered corrupt practices in Ghana football.

According to Mr Agyapong, Anas does not practice investigative journalism but sets people up to destroy their hard-won reputation.

He noted that if Anas were to have been using the same entrapment tactics in some other part of the world, he would have been killed by now.

The lawmaker described Anas as “corrupt, evil, blackmailer, and wicked”, and promised to strip him naked with evidence.
