Fire brand Member of parliament for Assin Central, Kennedy Ohene Agyapong has registered his resolve to personally see to it that embattled former COCOBOD Chief Executive, Dr. Stephen Opuni is jailed.

“Opuni will go to jail and I will make sure he pays dearly for his crimes. If we refuse to jail him, Ghanaians will vote against us in the next four years and so we need to get corrupt officials like him away from the country” he charged.

According to the NPP law maker, even though Dr Opuni may have been removed from office, his “deals” had cost the country dearly and therefore “it is time we make him pay for his bad deeds”.

Kennedy Agyapong is of the view that the dismissed COCOBOD boss sneaked into his office and started shredding documents believed to be fishy contracts he signed while in office to cover up from the incoming transition team at midnight.

President Akufo-Addo ha asked Dr Opuni to vacate his position last Friday – a directive which follows several allegations leveled against him while being chair of COCOBOD.
