David Agbee hits back at Dr. Baah over 'factual inaccuracies' comments

The Executive Director of Ghana Institute of Governance and Security (GIGS), Mr. David Agbee has rubbished plagiarism allegations made against him by Dr. Richard Amoako Baah, a Political Scientist and former lecturer at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST).

“David is my student and I thought him but unfortunately, a lot of things he says are factually wrong. Maybe he has forgotten what I thought him” the former lecturer is reported to have said.

Dr. Richard Amoako Baah, a known sympathizer of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) in a radio talkshow program attacked the academic credentials of the KNUST alumnus telling him to “make sense” in submission.

According to Dr. Baah, “he says right things and then adds something else to it. He says that you can copy the constitution. That is called plagiarism if you copy word for word” he explained.

But Mr. David Agbee on Kumasi based Ultimate FM stood on his ground insisting there can be amendment in the constitution of Ghana by “copying or borrowing an idea” from America’s constitution to grow the country’s young democracy.

“We can copy or borrow ideas if we so wish so to separate governance from political party activities”

“Dr. Amoako Baah taught me Human Rights and I understand the philosophy of it. If I am coming from academic field I will not talk as anybody who has no basis in Human Rights. As much as I am here, I need to reflect what I have been taught as in the perceptive of Human Rights”

“It is the foundation of Human Rights where people will value and say this person is an intellectual person. I will not conjure. It is not my style of talking and debating issues”
