Opuni will go to jail – Ken Agyapong vows
New Patriotic Party Member of Parliament for Assin
Central, Kennedy Ohene Agyapong says he will
personally ensure that former Chief Executive
Officer (CEO) of Ghana Cocoa Board (COCOBOD), Dr.
Stephen Kwabena Opuni, is put behind bars.

According to him, Dr Opuni presided over
corruption during his tenure and believes this
affected cocoa production in Ghana, hence he must
be exposed and jailed to serve as a deterrent to
others.

“Opuni will go to jail and I will make sure he
pays dearly for his crimes. If we refuse to jail
him, Ghanaians will vote against us in the next
four years and so we need to get corrupt officials
like him away from the country” he said.

Mr Kennedy Agyapong was speaking on Adom TV’s
Morning Show “Badwam” Tuesday. President
Akufo-Addo, in a letter dated January 12, 2017,
and signed by the Executive Secretary to the
President, Nana Asante Bediatuo, directed Dr.
Opuni to vacate his post pursuant to section 14(1)
of the Presidential (Transition) Act, 2012 (Act
845).

Hon Kennedy Agyapong argues that Dr Opuni may have
been removed from office, but his "deals" had cost
the country dearly and therefore “it is time we
make him pay for his bad deeds”.

Mr Kennedy Agyapong further alleged that the
COCOBOD boss sneaked into his office and started
shredding documents believed to be fishy contracts
he signed while in office to cover up from the
incoming transition team.

“Opuni went to his office on Tuesday at 1 am and
started shredding documents.

He again went there on Wednesday at 2 am to do the
same thing and I will expose him. Why is he doing
that, is it because he knew he would be sacked”
he quizzed.

"What he forgot was that he already took a snap
shot of those documents and we will deal with him
drastically” he declared.
