In a surprising display of resilience, former Ghanaian Member of Parliament Kennedy Agyapong has vowed to continue his crusade against corruption and injustice, despite being slapped with an $18 million defamation verdict.
The judgment, handed down by a US court, was in favor of investigative journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas, who had sued Agyapong for damaging his reputation. However, Agyapong remains unapologetic and defiant, insisting that his actions were necessary to expose the truth.
Speaking to a gathering of supporters, Agyapong expressed his gratitude for their unwavering support. “Your backing is a testament to the fact that our fight against corruption and injustice is just and necessary,” he said.
Agyapong’s words were laced with determination and conviction, as he rallied his supporters to remain calm and focused.
“We will not be intimidated or silenced by this verdict,” he declared. “Instead, we will continue to speak truth to power and fight for the voiceless.”
The former MP’s defiance has sparked mixed reactions, with some hailing him as a champion of free speech, while others have criticized him for refusing to accept responsibility for his actions.
As the dust settles, one thing is clear: Kennedy Agyapong remains a polarizing figure, unafraid to speak his mind and challenge the status quo.
