The Alliance for Social Equity and Public Accountability (ASEPA) has called on the US Government to place restrictions on MP for Assin Central, Hon. Kennedy Ohene Agyapong’s visa.
Their call follows after a series of threats by the outspoken NPP MP against Joy FM journalist in recent times.
A few days ago, Multimedia Group has filed a formal complaint against the Kennedy Ohene Agyapong for threatening the life of one of its journalists, Erastus Asare Donkor.
In the letter, dated July 13, 2021, addressed to the Deputy Regional Commander, Ashanti Region, the media group demanded security protection for Erastus Asare Donkor.
It also called for a thorough investigation into the threats issued by the legislator.
On Friday, July 9, Mr Agyapong was reported to have verbally abused and threatened to attack Mr Asare Donkor, “for the journalistic work that the latter undertook during the recent shootings and killing incident at Ejura” on Net 2 TV, a television station owned by the MP.
The outspoken politician was filmed on a live programme which was widely published on social media platforms, stating that, “if he [Mr Agyapong] were President, he would have ensured that Erastus Asare Donkor is beaten mercilessly.”
Following that, the MP was summoned before Parliament after his threats against Joy FM’s journalist.
ASEPA cited the unsolved death of Investigative journalist, Ahmed Sale and the recent one against the Joy FM Journalist, Asare Odonkor over Ejura videos.
