Former President John Agyekum Kufuor has called on President Atta Mills to take steps to douse the rising tension resulting from the arrest of Kennedy Agyapong...Details

Former President Kufuor, who is currently attending meetings in Washington DC, USA, warned against the escalation of tension, especially, in the run-up to December elections.

Mr Kufuor, in a release issued on Thursday, noted that treason is the highest criminal offense of the land and, and described Kennedy Agyapong's situation as using a sledge hammer to kill a fly.

"Treason is the highest criminal offense of the land and must be used lightly. Using a sledge hammer to kill a fly is like pouring oil unto fire," he said.

Meanwhile, the Head of Policy Monitoring and Evaluation Unit at the Presidency, Dr. Tony Aidoo has dismissed suggestions there is rising tension in the country in the wake of Kennedy Agyapong’s arrest.
