Mine will be a shocker – Kennedy Agyapong on Sir John’s will

Member of Parliament(MP) for Assin Central Constituency Kennedy Agyapong has downplayed controversies surrounding the Will of late Forestry Commission Chief Executive Officer Kwadwo Owusu Afriyie.

The publication of a copy of the will of the late Sir John sparked mixed reactions from Ghanaians.

A section of Ghanaians have criticized the late former General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party(NPP), accusing him of amassing wealth with his public office.

But speaking at a delegates conference of the NPP in the United States of America, Kennedy Agyapong described the brouhaha surrounding the Will as needless.

According to him, the controversy could be an agenda propagated by the opposition National Democratic Congress as he warned his party against making comments that would further denigrate the late Sir John.

In his assertion, the properties captured in the Will are peanuts as compared to what will be contained in his asset declaration.

“Whatever NDC is setting as an agenda, it will come to haunt us. Sometimes there are no truth in it and so we have to be careful with Sir John’s issue of six plots. Me, when I declare my assets you would be shocked because when I was reading Sir John’s will I said but this is peanut,” he said.

He expressed worry over what the reactions of Ghanaians will be if he eventually puts in the public domain a declaration of his assets.

“I put myself in the person’s shoes that if am dead today, is this what is going to happen even within my own party? So we have to be careful,” he added.
