The Member of Parliament for North Tongu Constituency in the Volta Region has vehemently debunk on the claims being peddled by his colleague Member of Parliament for the Assin Central, Kennedy Agyapong.
The Former President of National Union of Ghana Students (NUGS) in 2005, Mr Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa denied ever seeking any form of support from Mr Kennedy Agyapong in 2005 in his school days when he contested for the national NUGS presidency.
Mr Ablakwa denied this claim made by Mr Kennedy Agyapong on his social media page.
Kindly read the full statement below
My attention has been drawn to an archaic, preposterous and ad hominem tactic of Kennedy Agyapong seeking to malign the messenger as he cannot deal with the message.
Kennedy Agyapong knows, if he has any modicum of conscience, that he shamelessly peddled blatant falsehood because I have never received a farthing or pesewa from him neither did I ever go to the House of Parliament to solicit any form of assistance when I run for and won the Presidency of the National Union of Ghana Students (NUGS) in 2005.
These devious concoctions and vicious attacks on my person would not deter me from carrying out my constitutional mandate of oversight as Member of Parliament duly elected by the beloved people of North Tongu.
I would only stop criticizing President Akufo-Addo’s unconscionable profligacy if he stops the US$14,000 an hour wasteful charters when Ghana’s Presidential Jet remains in pristine condition. After all, didn’t the president pledge to protect the public purse?
In any case, even though Kennedy Agyapong’s claims are outright fabrications, what kind of adult supports vulnerable students and uses that against them later in life? Like many Ghanaians, I do extend charity to the vulnerable including students and I cannot imagine that I would ever use that against them.
As adults, let’s offer a better example to the youth of our country.
