"Apparently stones were thrown and a police officer was wounded. The Winneba hospital said he would be forced to send him back to Accra. I went to see the situation and I offered about 5,000 cedis to cover his medical expenses … Why did not they add that when they wrote the statement? Why do I still have to be painted black, "asked Assin Central MP Kennedy Agyapong.

Ken Agyepong was disappointed by reports that he badaulted a police officer when he intervened in the chaos at the Winneba Education University and in a subsequent statement issued by the Ghana police. .

A statement signed by the ACP, David Eklu, warned the deputy of Assin Central to pay attention to his actions and not to intimidate the police.

"The police administration therefore makes a very strong exception to the behavior of Mr. Kennedy Agyapong, Member of Parliament, and advises him not to lose sight of his actions towards police officers in the exercise of their legal functions, "says part of the statement.

However, Mr. Agyapong, who was crazy about the current situation, said in an interview with Asempa FM:

"We went to the Winneba University of Education. The Minister of Education invited us to come help resolve the chaos that reigned in the school. The Minister of Education fairly well organized the meeting and we agreed.
The President of the Council said that he had received a call concerning the demonstrations and the destruction on the campus. So we waited until there was a little calm and then we went there.

There were three sects; suspended speakers, protesting students and the police team. The speakers explained that there was no chaos until the arrival of the police; I asked them to be patient so they could talk to the police.

During the trip, the students shouted stones and protested. I told them to stop. I went to the police to talk to the commander and told him that the problem had been solved, so they should let things go. Shortly after, I heard noises from the outside. So I went back to the police and explained to him that the problem had been solved, they told me that the students had blocked the roads with logs and stones and that they had to talk to them.

The students also said that we should ask the police to release two of their students and stop releasing tear gas. So I took some of the students to the police to let them know how much they had taken out their weapons. The commander told me that the students had injured some of their staff. That's the reason they will not hold back anymore, they'll shoot.

I warned them and told one of his team members that he had to be careful, otherwise I would make sure he was fired because I did not understand that a police officer would incite him to violence.
I did not wait for the commander, because even if he had ordered his team to shoot if they approached, should I have allowed them to kill people? Do you know what would have happened if I had not intervened? ".

"Apparently stones were thrown and a police officer was wounded. The Winneba hospital said he would be forced to send him back to Accra. I went to see the situation and I offered about 5,000 cedis to cover his medical expenses … Why did not they add that when they wrote the statement? Why do I still have to be painted black? "He asked.

He also lamented the fact that "no one has asked me for my version of the story".

"They have so disgraced me that I can not forgive them, I will not interfere in any of these matters, they should do their own thing. I have planned my life and that of my children, I will take care of my business, I will not involve myself because if I had not called, I would not worry about it. I would not even bother going there to get the police to write things about me. They are a stupid administration. Am I sorry to be just standing up and going to tell a policeman that he will be fired? Should I have stayed there to kill people? Is it bad for me to have told him what he said they should shoot, I will make sure that he is sacked? ".

"You are not at all right to me, but if that 's what you' re going to do, I will not say a word anymore, it 's not my school, Ghana does not. is not for me, however, it's okay, I'm plugging it. . I do not care if Ghana burns, my constituents, everybody. I'm tired, nobody can just dishonor me, at this stage of my life I can not do it anymore, no matter what should happen, I will not entertain it. I will never speak for a policeman to come and tell me trash, "he added.
