The General Legal Council (GLC) yesterday dismissed a complaint filed against ace undercover investigative journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas, by the Member of Parliament (MP) for Assin Central, Mr Kennedy Ohene Agyapong.
The GLC declined jurisdiction in a complaint of professional misconduct brought against Anas.
The MP, in July 2018, dragged Anas to the GLC, claiming that Anas misconducted himself professionally as a lawyer in a manner that bordered on “moral turpitude.”
A complaint letter dated July 5, 2018, and addressed to the Chairperson of the Disciplinary Committee of the General Legal Council, asked that disciplinary action should be taken against Anas as a lawyer.
According to the MP, Anas and a Chief State Attorney, Ms Ellen Kwawukume, connived to cause a fraud case to be dismissed.
GLC decision
The GLC yesterday declined jurisdiction in the matter on the grounds that Anas was not a lawyer at the time the alleged incident happened. It further directed the MP to report Anas to the police if he felt Anas was corrupt.
According to the GLC, Anas was neither the police nor the Attorney-General to terminate a trial.
Campaign
The vociferous MP has been on a campaign against Anas. He insists that Anas’s style of entrapping people should not be countenanced.
Anas, for his part, has dragged Mr Agyapong to court for defaming him and is asking the High Court to award aggravated damages to the tune of GH¢25 million arising from defamatory materials published by the MP.
A sports journalist, Listowell Yesu Bukarson, has been granted the lawful attorney to stand in for Anas.
In another breath, Ms Kwawukume, who is currently on retirement, has also sued the MP for GH¢25 million for defamation.

Mr Kenedy u should have known this. It is not about talking talking and talking.
Just wait and see the kingdom of Kenedy Agyapong is coming to an end very soon, just mark my word
Ghana is doomed. We all saw what he and the woman were discussing on video. Ghana legal council is not credible organisation if they cannot bring Anas to book for his behaviour.
the headline says dismissed and the content says declined jurisdiction of the matter. all these journalists are corrupt bunch of cr1m1nals doing the same business as anas so will do everything to protect their interest. Ken is fighting a lost battle. he will never win again this guy so i will advice him to stop wasting his time and money. Anas is not operating alone. its a cabal made up of top ple in all aspects of the society. from the security services to the judiciary and the legislature. if the judges could not win against him what makes Ken think he can? every right thinking person knows anas and his team are cr1m1nally ev1?l and will do anything to destroy anyone who stands in their way. we have seen this with the judges and Kwesi Nyantakyi. they only add innocent ple to it to deceive weak minds like those who see him as their hero. they always have a target in their operation and take time to plan it so that it doesn't look like they are targeting a particular person. they can f000?l whoever wants to be f000?l but not me. Ken shd just leave him alone. after all Karma is Bae
