Kennedy Agyapong’s loudmouth lands him in hot waters.

The CEO of the Chamber of Bulk Oil Distributors, Senyo Hosi has sued the Member of Parliament for Assin Central Kennedy Agyapong for Ghc 8 million in a defamation suit.

Mr. Hosi in a suit filed on July 4 is praying the court to award him a 5 Million Cedis compensation against the MP, GHC 3 million against Kencity Media, a company owned by the politician cum businessman, and GHC1 million against Afia Akoto, a Deputy Executive Secretary of the Microfinance and Small Loans Centre (MASLOC).

The suit follows a caution issued by Senyo Hosi a few days ago for the loudmouth MP to retract a defamatory statements made against him (Hosi) or be sued.

Mr. Agyapong accused the CEO of the BDCs of offering a one million dollar bribe to the boss of the Bulk Oil Storage and Transportation Company (BOST), Alfred Obeng Boateng, ostensibly to influence him to reverse the sale of contaminated fuel to Movinpina and Zup oil and rather sell it to him.

Afia Akoto’s offense is that she repeated the MP’s claims on her Facebook wall.
