‘Ken Agyapong never said Asenso Boakye sold Justice Sau’s residence with former CJ’ – Lawyer Raphael Agyapong
Lawyer Raphael Agyapong, an MP aspirant for the Bantama constituency, has refuted claims in a report that his brother, Kennedy Agyapong, had accused the former Chief Justice, Anin Yeboah, of conspiring with Asenso Boakye to sell a residence owned by Justice Marfo-Sau.
According to him, Kennedy Agyapong never accused the former Justice of selling the home to Asenso Boakye in his presentation to the Bantama delegates.
He stated that his statement was far from that, and that Asenso Boakye sold the property without the former Chief Justice’s knowledge or approval.
“At no point did Agyapong say that His Lordship, the former Chief Justice Anin Yeboah (retired) has sold the said property with Hon. Asenso Boakye. Rather, he was emphatic in his statement that Hon Asenso Boakye had not obtained the consent of the former Chief Justice for the sale of the property. Thus, Hon Asenso Boakye has sold the said property without the knowledge or consent of the former Chief Justice,” he told this reporter.
He went on to say that following the death of His Lordship Justice Marful Sau JSC, Francis Asenso Boakye, the current Member of Parliament for the Bantama Constituency and also the Minister for Works and Housing of Ghana, consulted His Lordship Justice Anin Yeboah CJ (retired) about a proposed sale of His Lordship Marful Sau’s official residence.
“The CJ objected to the sale of the said residence since it is an official residence and thus state property. Hon Asenso Boakye then sold the said state property without the consent or input of the former CJ”.
As a result, he claims that the remark ascribed to Ken Agyapong during a delegates’ meeting on January 12, 2024 in Kumasi is false.
As a result, he is encouraging the general public to dismiss any reports implying that Mr. Kennedy Agyapong accused Asenso Boakye of selling the dead Supreme Court Judge’s house alongside the former Chief Justice.
“Asenso Boakye had not obtained the consent of the former Chief Justice for the sale of the property. Thus, Hon Asenso Boakye has sold the said property without the knowledge or consent of former Chief Justice”.
