The New Patriotic Party has dissociated itself from comments made by its member and Assin North Member of Parliament Kennedy Agyapong.The party’s chairman Jake Obetsebi Lamptey told Joy News the comments were intemperate, adding the party does not support such divisive comments.“We don’t support intemperate language. Whoever is involved in this intemperate language. We are a national party, we believe in Ghana. We want everything that is good for Ghana and part of what is good for Ghana is to have a unified united country that provides a better life for all of us,” he said.The Assin North MP is reported to have declared war in reaction to what he said were unprovoked attacks on NPP supporters during the biometric registration exercise.He was arrested Monday over a possible charge of treason and has since been held at the BNI HQ.Lamptey said the NPP will not stand in the way of the police if it is the case they want to prosecute Kennedy Agyapong but said the party is upset with the selectivity with which the police are going about their job.He observed other potentially explosive comments have been made in the media, but the police have turned a blind eye.He was even more outraged by pictures sitting in front pages of news papers in which machete wielding thugs said to belong to the NDC were having a field day. Those men he said were yet to be invited by the police.Asked if the party condemned the comments by Kennedy Agyapong unreservedly, Lamptey was evasive, insisting the party was yet to take a collective decision on that.Meanwhile, the party is yet to see the Assin North MP after he was whisked away from the Police HQ to the BNI.Jake Obetsebi Lamptey said the party has formally put in an application to see Kennedy Agyapong but are yet to get a response from the police.
