Audio Attachment:Listen to Kweku Baako Jnr. on Peace FM's 'kokrokoo' programme. |
Seasoned journalist, Abdul Malik Kweku Baako has delivered a corrosive reply to Member of Parliament (MP) for Assin Central, Kennedy Agyapong, for describing him as a "fool" and daring him to pursue his law suit against him.
Kweku Baako and Kennedy Agyapong are set to battle it out in a legal fight after Mr. Baako filed a defamation suit against the Assin Central MP for tagging him as a "galamsey kingpin" and further making remarks that Kweku Baako deems have affected his reputation in the eyes of "right-thinking" Ghanaians.
He has therefore slapped Kennedy Agyapong with a GH₵25million defamation suit and seeking other remedies before the law court.
In his writ to the court, Kweku Baako noted that the maverick MP has "reduced my envied reputation into dishonor, contempt, and reproach on the basis of the above mentioned unfounded and destructive comments of the plaintiff."
He is asking the court to "order Mr. Agyapong to retract his comments and render an unqualified apology to him" and also place "a perpetual injunction restraining Mr Agyapong, his agents, assigns and servants from further publishing any defamatory words" against his personality.
But responding to the suit, Mr. Agyapong speaking to Asempa FM on Tuesday, described Kweku Baako as a "fool" and vowed to expose his corrupt practices.
" . . Kweku Baako . . . I will strip him naked . . . I swear to God . . . His twenty five million, when I "shit" I will pay easily," he blurted out.
However, during Wednesday's edition of Peace FM's 'Kokrokoo', when the host sought his comments on Mr Agyepong's reaction to his (Baako's) law suit, Kweku Baako stated emphatically that he will not engage in "unbridled buffoonery".
He however swore that the case will travel the full hog.
" . . it (the legal suit) will go on till it’s determined in accordance with laws of the country. It will go on till it’s finally determined by the appropriate forum which is the court of law. I’m not discussing any aspects of the case anywhere; radio, TV, social media . . . Kweku Baako will not join any of those threats”.
Explaining why he has decided to slug it out with Kennedy Agyapong in court, the Editor-in-Chief of the New Crusading Guide said upon careful deliberations with his family and friends over the numerous defamatory statements made against him, he's chosen to give his accuser the "opportunity to vindicate his allegations, at least for the sake of your family and children in the future. So, I was persuaded and I reluctantly because it’s against my philosophy. I don’t like it. I don’t do that. I don’t care what you say about me. As long as you don’t pick up a gun and shoot me, I don’t really care but for this particular issue, I’ve gone to the court. The case will be litigated in the court of law”.
“I’m personally and directly involved. I have filed a writ. I have sent it to the court of law and not the court of public opinion where ugly noises and unbridled buffoonery will dictate the pace. That’s permissible in the court of public opinion,” he stressed.

Kenedy Agyapong is nothing but an 1diot. I wander how he found his way into parliament. They address him as honorable yet he sits on radio/TV insulting people anyhow. I can't believe such animals are also law makers.
Hmmmm. Ekekevor. The battle lines have been clearly drawn. I am all ears, eyes and noses. This is just the beginning. The Almighty God will expose all of them one after the other.
The problem with Ghana is that there are too many people living in this land with nothing but sawdust in their craniums.This MP sits on radio and calls people names ,insult people whose shoes he does nor qualify to polish and these moronic people say what he can't be sued?Let him go to the law courts and run his mouth. The peoples' man my foot.This guy only opens his flappers when he needs a contract and he can't get it.
kweku Baaku you meet your meeter, Kennedy Agyepong.
i never thought i would ever hate kwaku baako..since he started his fight with ken,i hate listening to peacefm Wednesday shows...ken is the people's man...i will never like him again..
Isn't it sad that highly confident people are described as "too known" in Ghana? Some Ghanaians don't know their right that's why politicians and other public officer take advantage of them. People who speak the truth eg Ken Agyapong, Lydia Forson etc are tagged as 'too known". No wonder there is filth all around you PAA.
Kwaku baako should know that he himself caused his reputational damage when Ken started speaking about the method Anas use and him being not credible. I always say this: everything we do, if it's bad and done in secret, one day it will come out unless the we decide to change along the way. I can see u're still on the path of disgrace. my advice is that reflect on ur life, if you have done or being doing the exact things that you and Anas seem to unearth about others then make sure your image will continue to sink esp when u're still taking people to court. the mere fact you accept that u're not used to taking to court but this one you want to go should speak a lot to you. these things am telling, I don't expect you to be to answer it in public but ask your inner being and see if deserve going to court.
Kweku Baako finished(silence)kennedy agyepong for us. He is too know and i want someone to tame this man called kennedy agyepong. He is self-conceited and arrogant and talkative.
