Maverick lawmaker for Assin Central Constituency Kennedy Agyepong has put on ice processes he claimed he had initiated to get members of New Patriotic Party (NPP) vigilante group, Delta Force engaged at COCOBOD.
“I will ask the person who is working on it to immediately stop it in view of their recent conduct. I struck a COCOBOD deal for them to be employed only for them to behave this way. Truth be told, I don’t tolerate nonsense.
NDC with their violence they never behaved this way.
Chief should truncate the process. I am one person who does not condone in lawlessness….you were not the only persons who suffered for the party. I cannot speak for you in this case”, he revealed.
Mr Kennedy Agyepong believes their conduct is beyond pardon and said initially he felt it was because they were jobless but they have behaved beyond pardon and must face the full rigors of the law.
“I don’t subscribe to violence whatsoever. I feel frightened by their conduct. We should not encourage such lawlessness in this party like being embarked on Delta Force”, he stated.
Speaking on the boiling point on his station Oman FM last Thursday evening, Mr Agyepong said their conduct smacks of a disgrace to the party and the president reiterating the need for them to be dealt with to serve as a deterrent to others.
“I was brought up in a home and I would never countenance on this and neither is Nana Addo as a law abiding person also happy, I have vowed to be behind you but I would never support such disgraceful act…,” he added.
