Managing Editor of the Insight newspaper, Kwesi Pratt Jnr. has challenged the Member of Parliament (MP) for Assin Central, Kennedy Ohene Agyapong to produce any tape or evidence he has on ace investigative journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas instead of his constant ranting on the airwaves.
Speaking on Peace FM's 'kokrokoo' programme Friday, Kwesi Pratt asked the Assin Central MP to stop the personal attacks and focus on the professional works of the ace investigative journalist.
He said the MP can not substantiate his claims on the journalist if Anas takes him to court to battle the personal allegations.
"Nothing prevents any Ghanian from doing the work Anas is doing . . . anybody at all can do same . . . why can't Ken Agyapong do the same thing about him (Anas)?" he asked.
Member of Parliament for Assin Central, Hon. Kennedy Agyapong had alleged that Anas and the late NPP Member of Parliament for Abuakwa North, Joseph Boakye Danquah-Adu's wife, Ivy Heward Mills are in an amorous relationship.
The honorable MP, in his desperate attempt to frustrate the ace investigative journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas and his Tiger Eye PI team from premiering their latest expose, dubbed, “Number 12” has made a lot of allegations.
Kennedy Ohene Agyapong has also sworn to show a video of investigative journalist, Anas Aremeyaw Anas receiving bribe.
The MP vowed he has in his possession a tape capturing the investigative journalist taking a bribe of $100,000 from people.
Speaking on Accra based Okay FM, he dared God to strike him dead should he fail to show such video to Ghanaians, describing Anas as a "blackmailer".
“I will show Anas confessing to a state Attorney that he has taken $100,000 bribe, if I don’t show may the living God kill me.
“Anas is so corrupt and we will not allow him to destroy the state with his evil mind. Let Anas premiere his (investigative video on the June 6), I will also premiere my video titled 'who watches the watchman'. He should be ready,” he stated.
Kennedy Agyapong has also accused Anas of plundering properties through illegal means to enrich himself.
All the evidence, he insists, will be made blare to public eye.
“I’m very sad and hurt that Ghanaians believe this evil man so much. I will expose him (Anas) and he will regret being a Ghanaian and a corrupt man. You take bribes from people and then you turn around to accuse people,” he added.
Commenting on the claims by Kennedy Agyapong regarding the undercover journalist, seasoned journalist Kwesi Pratt has challenged Mr. Agyapong to provide the said evidence.
According to him, if the MP indeed has a smoking gun on the activities of Anas, he shouldn't just be talking but prove it to the whole world.
“He should produce the evidence if he has it . . . after watching it the law will be applied,” he told Kwami Sefa Kayi on Peace FM's 'kokrokoo' programme.

Something has to be done to clear the air. Anas needs to be vetted to clear the air. there are so many allegations levelled against Anas which can not be swept under the carpet. If he wants expose other he must also come clean. in other words, he must remove the log from his eyes before removing others. How BBC will not entrap the England FA or the British P.M.? what's Anas motive to trap the President? Maybe he started well but I thing now he is going wayward. Jezebel women and money laundering to lure people? [Can it be described as "aiding and abetting?"
Where are the wise men in Ghana?Where have all the men gone to? Why would a country of over 25M people allow one man Ken Agyapong ***barred word*** and scream for his wishes to be done and give ultimatums to our law enforcement authorities? Who does this ex-cocaine dealer think he is? Stronger, wiser and more powerful than anyone in Ghana? Only in Ghana, indeed!
IT IS ONLY CORRUPT PEOPLE THAT HAVE PROBLEM WITH ANAS.
Kwasi Pratt. has you ever provide any evidence in any of your publication since you started working,
I support KEN 100% what Anas is doing is not lawful. In brief Anas record you then follow up for hug amount if you pay him then you are free. If you can not pay him the money then you will surly be in the Video. this is pure Blackmail. Anas must be stopped NOW.
I always weep for Ghana when people in government are trying to cover people on issues like corruption. What it This man (Ken) saying here? I 100% disagree with his statement on Anas. I disagree with his "Pure Ashanti syndrome" on this issue. 1) Is the the first time Anas is investigating corrupt officials in Ghana ? Anas has done lots of investigations in Ghana include: Doctors, politicians, Prison officers, police service, judges, and today the GFA. Why he (Ken) didn't react to any of those previous investigations? Is he reacting this time because the GFA boss is an Ashanti,a friend, or an NPP member? God damn it! What kind of politics are this people practicing ? You see, We have lots of talented people like "Osafo Kantanka" brave people like"Anas" visionary People like "Captain Smart", who what Ghana to be industrious, transparent, accountability, anti-corrupt, a Country where things are done straight forward. But, neither the NDC nor NPP government has ever accepted them or has ever encourage them to do their good work. This shows clearly that these two parties are the Hell Ghanaians are passing through. Don't worry guys, the Ghana we see today, will never be the same tomorrow !!
Anas could have done a good job without getting involved with his team. his method of parading jezebel women and money to entrap people is abomination. He must therefore change his method and record only real cases without getting involved. Or else it is like him, Anas going to the source of a river to muddy the waters and then come to the banks of the river to accuse his victims of muddying the waters. Apparently, to disgrace that person in public and then become a beneficiary. Now he must remove the log from his eyes before removing others. Therefore, he must come clean to declare his access under AG. He must change his method or else he may be causing damage to this nation.1.He is destroying lives of hard earned reputations 2. He will be tarnishing the image of this country because gradually it is affecting Governments institutions and dignitaries showing to the World that the Black man is not capable in managing his own affairs. on other hand, how come BBC will not allow Anas to entrap England FA or the British P.M.{They are smart} Pull him own syndrome and "abro ne bayie" has clouded some people's minds.
S3be S3be, why S3be hypocrites you're culprits, I hope your name pops up soon for taking landcruiser
As for this issue, I agree with you. I support Ken's drive to stamp out corruption, but I disagree with his stance against Anas. His publication of photos purported to be Anas has been challenged by at least one PhD student who claims one of them is his.
Kwesi Pratt, you are a man of wisdom.
