Assin Central MP Kennedy Agyapong has said Sunday’s dawn demolition exercise at the Ghana Trade Fair site which affected Mr Raymond Archer’s US$10-million printing press, was needless.
Mr Archer’s firm and over 20 others were bulldozed to pave the way for a redevelopment project.
Speaking on Class FM Thursday, 20 February 2020 at the foyer of Parliament just before the President presented his State of the Nation Address, Mr Agyapong said: “I disagree with Trade Fair”, adding: “My brother, it’s you today, it’s me tomorrow”.
According to him, “Whether you are NDC, NPP, you are Ghanaian”, even if Mr Archer created just two jobs for others.
“What I expected them to do is that: if even there was a court order to demolish, allow the person to take his properties from it”.
“My brother, they are abusing powers, they don’t know that tomorrow you will need Raymond Archer, too.
“He’s a Ghanaian and I’m proud of him doing business, I don’t do politics with these kinds of things, so, I think they were too harsh”, Mr Agyapong condemnedA.
He said: “Anybody who suffered that fate, I personally believe that they should have given them the opportunity to take their things out of the place”, noting: “My brother, it is not very easy to raise capital to do business, so, when you see a friend doing business and you think he has a political affiliation, tomorrow is waiting for you”.

It annoys me when a Ghanaian politician claims he will create jobs when he comes to power. Ghanaian politicians are the same people who destroy businesses of their political opponents forgetting that they're increasing unemployment rate in the country. Unemployment in Ghana would have been less that 5% if JJ Rawlings and his peeved colleagues did not collapse local Ghanaian businesses in the name of ***barred word*** probity and accountability. He specifically targeted Akan businessmen and women for no smart reason! JJ Rawlings, Kuffour, Atta Mills, Mahama and Akuffo-Addo are all guilty of this non***barred word***! A minister who has never worked in his life or created a single job in Ghana can authorized national security to destroy hard working Ghanaian's business. I wish all Ghanaians will stay home on the election day and let the politicians and their families vote for them. After all, the country is in auto pilot and the abo-damsem goes on every day. God Bless Poor Ghana and African
U R TALKING ABOUT TOMORROW, IT WILL START WITH YOUR RADIO STATION
ken u r jealous of MCDAN why? u think u r the only buisness man in npp? u want every thing contract for your self, u r too greedy do u know what others did to bring npp to power? u r just like the ndc they hate successful people
It is a shame to see politrickcians who just want to loot every state property. It should not matter how much investment is put in , when it is illegally constructed it should be pull down. let these greedy b as tards go to the ***barred word*** and fight with land-guards , so they will know how it feels. So Ken by default is saying if I invest 1 trillion at circle , I should be allowed to occupy there because I will create employment? no wonder all cantonments lands belongs to politrickcians.
Consider the following; 1. No equipment was destroyed (Have we seen any pictures of destroyed equipment?) 2. Raymond's company was given temporary tenancy 3. The agreement cautioned Raymond to only install removable assets on the land. 4. The agreement was effective when NDC was in power 5. Raymond's company wanted perpetual injunction, stay, and allocation in the new design (All three). 6. Raymond's 10mUSD personal company delayed 1bUSD Ghana project because of a similar court order. 7. There was a court order for Tradefair company go in 8. The idea of the new trade-fair is from 2012!
NDC also does same, they all do it. Do you remember what Atta-Mills said about Ken Attafuah? and do you remember Uncle Atta made sure he was booted out.
N.ON.SENSE !! When Raymond Archer went under oath to put lies on Dr Anane didn't he know that tomorrow will be waiting for him? Karma is such a beautiful thing ! Well done McDan ! Continue your good works. A 10 million Dollar business has no place stopping A Billion Dollar investment.
yoooh thank you, you have spoken well. Why should we destroy each other because of politics? why should we hate each other because of politics? i can see NPP causing too much harm than good when iot comes to businesses. My younger brother is an NPP member, but NDC employed him and he was happy with his family. When NPP came into power, they saw him as an NDC member in that organization,they frustrated him very bad until he resigned. This NPP people are very wicked. My brother was a MBA degree holder, and they brought an HND guy who did not even do his national service to be his boss. They are very greedy
