He lamented that those who hailed Agyapong, particularly for his popular expose 'Who Watches The Watchman' are the same people calling him out after he lost his case in the US.

"When commenting on issues, the people who will hail and urge you to keep talking are hypocrites. Those who urge you to speak on issues, are the same people who will criticise you when something bad happens to you. Those who said Hosanna, are the same people who said crucify him."
"I remember how I got stuck in traffic for four hours at Aburi on the day Kennedy Agyapong premiered his exposé Who Watches the Watchman. But today when Honourable Kennedy Agyapong's issue came up, those who said hosanna and hailed him are the same people criticising him," he added.

Kumchacha said he had learnt valuable lessons as a famed personality and was circumspect when commenting on issues.

The preacher also added that he was not surprised, since he felt most of the exposés by Agyapong were not well researched.

"For our father Kennedy Agyapong, most of his exposés were not conclusive; at the time, most of his exposés were based on hearsay. We should be careful because people cannot be trusted," Kumchacha explained in the video.

Anas comments on Kennedy Agyapong lawsuit

Anonymous investigative reporter Anas Aremeyaw Anas also issued a statement detailing what transpired in court.

He explained the lawsuit was based on Agyapong's comments about his BBC documentary on the rot at the GFA.

Anas lamented how a similar case in Ghana was dismissed by an Accra High Court but seemed pleased with the result.

Kennedy Agyapong offered to pay $10k

YEN.com.gh also reported that Selasi Evans Adika stated that both parties involved in the lawsuit first went to the settlement conference before the matter was settled in the courtroom.

Anas Aremyaw Anas was reportedly willing to cut down his demands, but Kennedy Agyapong offered to pay just $10,000 (equivalent to GH¢150,000) to stop the case from going to trial.
