Ken is right this time around. The thought of Barton Oduro even in parliament never mind being a deputy speaker is such a disgrace to the country.

I support Kennedy Agyapong 101%!

Not only must Barton be stripped of his position, he needs to be prosecuted and jailed for gross negligence and causing financial loss to the state.

WE THANK GOD FOR THE LIFE OF ST. MARTIN AMIDU. IT COULD BE RECALLED THAT, EVIL CORRUPT NDC BASTARDS SACKED ST. MARTIN FOR DEFENDING THE POOR PEOPLE OF THIS COUNTRY. TO BE PRECISE, FOR FIGHTING CORRUPTION IN EVIL NDC GOVERNMENT. THE NDC MAN (ATTA MILLS) WHO SACKED HIM , WAS THE SAME MAN WHO ONCE SAID "GHANA WILL BE LIKE KENYA" THIS SO CALLED ASOMDWE HENE IS NOW BURRIED AT A PLACE CALLED ASOMDWE PARK. VERY RIDICULOUS!!! LOOK AROUND AND YOU CAN EASILY FEEL, SMELL AND SEE IT. THIS IS NOT THE GHANA KUFFOUR HANDED OVER TO THESE NDC CORRUPT BASTARDS, AS THEY ARE AFFECTIONATELY KNOWN BY THEIR EQUALLY CORRUPT FOUNDER. KUFFOUR IS INDUBITABLY THE BEST PRESIDENT EVER IN OUR HISTORY!!!!-----FELLOW COUNTRYMEN, WHO CAN PROVE KWASI ADADE WRONG?? NDC IS THE WORST THING EVER TO HAVE HAPPENED TO GHANA.

Barton-Oduro collected $400,000 USD dollars from Wayome. Barton-Oduro has no dignity, he has no shame otherwise he would have resigned from politics long long time ago.

Ken is the true hero of this case because it was he who blew the lid to expose Woyome and his dubious judgement debt. You and Amidu have both done great service to the nation and must be commended.

Though i feel Ken is too outspoken,but where he is right,he right.I think Barton-Oduro is too much involved in this Woyomi saga,and therefore the right thing to do is,let him stepdown as Deputy Speaker.Otherwise this whole talk of the Government trying to fight corruption is a nonstarter.
Lets take example from the Czech Republic,where the Priminister has to step down,because his officals have been arrested for corruption.
But, Ghana is still in Africa,and Africans don`t resign because of corruption.

Is this MP the same who called upon Asantes to kill Gas and Ewes still parading as if he is a patriotic Ghanaian. He has not retracted that genocidal incitement!!! Which is worse stealing or killing? Ken Agyapong is misrepresenting the good people of his constituency and is currently the most dangerous person in Ghana.Yet he wants to pretend he cares about the nations welfare?????

The first person to step down is Ken Agyapong then others will follow. He calling for the killing of Ewes and Gas is worser than what he is talking about, Big fool.

I think many Ghanaian like crooks,fraudulent and corrupt people.It was clear from very beginning, that Barton-Odro was negligent and dishonest in handling this fraudulent transaction, and was never interested in helping us to retrieve our money from Waterville,even though he was being paid with our taxes.Surprising,he was voted by some Ghanaians to enter Parliament and to become Deputy Speaker.Unfortunately,there are so many of the Barton-odro type in the Government.It's so difficult understand why the late President will maintain Barton-odro and sack Martin Amidu.

If he has any iota of honour left in him,this crook of a deputy speaker should resign before he is pushed out.If Mahama wants anyone to respect his almost dented integrity as President,he should kick this Barton Oduro out.Next to be indicted should be Betty Mould Iddrissu,Kwabena Duffour,Henry Newman and Alex Segbefia.These were the crooks behind the illegal payment.Woyome is going down,but I can predict that he will not want to go down alone.He will drag tte afore-mentioned crooks down with him. Congrats Ken Agyapong Nd Martin Amidu.Ghana owes you both. Debt of gratitude.Kudos.

I had always say it clearly hear that with criminals like Barton Oduro supported by the President to a new role as deputy speaker of the national legislation body is an insult to our very existence as human beings and nationally, a huge shame and embarrassment.

I highly suspect the entire NDC leadership planned a join crime against the state, took advantage of the then sick President Atta Mills and dubiously committed such disgusting gargantuan crimes against Ghana including the STX Korean hoaxed housing deals and the Brazil plane mafia deals headed by this very man we unfortunately have as President, John Mahama.

Alfred Agbese Woyome and his criminal associates must be shiiting in their panties by now. As for the disrespectful bitch Mrs Betty Mould Idrisu, all the Mallams including those consulted from far away Bulkina Faso, Mali and Kwaku Bossam has finished her last share from the booty for nothing.

Cry or no cry, Akuse and Nsawam prisons still awaits them and they must prepare for a long-long rough ride in prison for the rest of their criminal lives.

What a shame to Mahama led NDC shame!!!

I salute you Honourable Ken Agyapong and the adorable national hero, Mr.Noble Man Patriotic Nationalist Martin Amidu, a possible Presidential material, come 2016? definitely a big yes!!!!!

Thieves, fraudsters & dirty crooks like Ebo Barton-Odro know no shame. Otherwise, this baboon-faced, ugly son of a whore would jump from the deputy speaker positon and evencvacate his own parliamentary seat before being pushed out.

That such a crook, criminal & thief is still accorded the undeserved title of 'honorable' and remains the 2nd in command of Ghana's parliament is such an abomination and indeed constitute a desecration of that august arm of government.

But this is a Ghana that has gone to the dogs (the NDC) and is being mismanaged and its very fabric degraded & destroyed by a combination of unbridled & unprecedented corruption and the cruxifiction of everything decent & virtuous and its replacement by propaganda of the crudest & nauseating form.

This is one situation, an aberration, indeed a cancer afflicting Ghana's parliament whose radical cure shouldn't be left in the hands of one honorable member (Ken Agyapong) who has single-handedly uncovered and blown the whistle on several NDC stinking corrupt deals including Waterville & Woyome as well as the recent 15 million turned 150 million COCOBOD scandal which would have gone through but forcthe vigilance of this same Ken Agyapong. This is a cancer that requires the combined effort of all decent Ghanaians to excise it from our parliament so as to save and preserve the dignity of the house. The battle cry should be BARTON-ODRO MUST BE PUSHED OUT OF PARLIAMENT.
If we all shout in unison across all virtual social media and repeat it across all radio networks in the real world to deafening decibels, this ugly baboon will be compelled to jump before he is pushed out.

EBO BARTON-ODRO MUST LEAVE PARLIAMENT NOW!!! HE DOES NOT DESERVE TO BE AN MP LET ALONE A DEPUTY SPEAKER.

ONLY JOHN MAHAMA COULD HAVE APPOINTED SUCH A DISGRACEFUL PIECE OF SHIT TO SUCH A HIGH NATIONAL OFFICE. That tells a lot about the character of John Mahama himself, the illegitimate and fake president of Ghana.

I am surprised, to say the least, that Barton Odro is still at his Post (President Mahama, exhibited bad judgemnet in appointing him, despite his history... saying the Govt. of Ghana had no case against these evil people).

Betty Mould, despite being in the thick of it, at least, resigned; but BARTON ODRO knows no shame.

We know in the coming weeks, Woyome will spill the beans and name names.

Shame on all these unpatriotic and wicked "Ghanaians".

Tis Tony Lithur is still defending Mahama.
