Legon SRC Prez tried bribing me – Election IT Expert



The IT expert who designed the software for the conduct of the University of Ghana students’ elections, Stephen Forson has revealed that the current President of the Students Representative Council (SRC) tried to bribe him to manipulate the elections in favour of his preferred candidate.

Mr. Forson revealed on Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen programme on Friday April 17, 2015 that Mr. Joshua Dogbey and two others including the losing candidate in the April 9, 2015 SRC election, Mikdad Muhammad sneaked into his house at midnight in the days leading to the elections to try to induce him to rig the elections for a candidate in the elections.

Citing his pregnant wife as his witness, he continued that the team from Legon promised to extend his contract with the University SRC if he does their bidding for their candidate to win.

IPRO Solutions Ltd has a five year contract with the University of Ghana (2012-2016), and also runs elections for all the polytechnics and some universities in the country.

"When they tried and they didn’t succeed, they thought others have also done so…the executioner fears to always lie with his head up of course…,” he revealed.

My relatives do drugs but I don't – Ken Agyapong reveals



Maverick Politician Kennedy Agyapong has revealed that some of his relatives were ‘drugs dealers’ but he said he personally does not do 'drugs'.

Responding to a question on whether he was a genuine businessman or had dealt in drugs before in an interview on TV3 Friday morning, Mr. Agyapong said: “Hell no…as for my relatives yes; my relatives have done it [drugs] and they linked me to it. But there are evidences there to show that I was not part of it…so me I am okay; I do a lot of things and I work hard”.

"About 85 per cent of Ghanaian businessmen do drugs" - Ken Agyapong



Maverick Politician Kennedy Agyapong has alleged that most Ghanaian businessmen are drug dealers.

In his estimation, about 85 percent of indigenous businessmen are drug barons.

Ironically, Mr. Kennedy Agyapong, a successful businessman and a hothead politician of the opposition New Patriotic Party, is not insulated from the drug tag. For many years, Mr. Agyapong’s political opponents, particularly in the National Democratic Congress, have equally painted him as a drug dealer although none of his accusers have proven the allegations.
