The sacked Ashanti Regional editor of the Daily Graphic, Daniel Kenu, has accused the Managing Director of the Graphic Communications Group Ken Ashigbey, of influencing the decision to sack him.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s the MD who just wants me out. He thinks I\u2019ve embarrassed him. I don\u2019t know what I\u2019ve done against this man,\u201d he lamented.<\/p>\n

[contextly_sidebar id=”9aJodJ4gccIelWW8IvD8fL2phWSZlo2b”]\u201cI don\u2019t know which crime I have committed, I\u2019ve not erred against anybody, I\u2019ve not broken any company law,\u201d he insisted.<\/p>\n

Daniel Kenu went to court with the full backing of Graphic when he was\u00a0assaulted by a group of men<\/strong><\/a><\/span>, allegedly led by the elder brother of Asamoah Gyan.<\/p>\n

He later surprised his bosses by withdrawing the case<\/strong><\/a><\/span>\u00a0citing health and family issues, although the MD, Ken Ashigbey had vowed to pursue the case<\/strong><\/a><\/span> to its logical conclusion.<\/p>\n

Graphic\u00a0on Wednesday November 19, dismissed Daniel Kenu<\/strong><\/a><\/span> accusing him of \u201cgross misconduct and disloyalty under section 22(a) of collective bargaining agreement\u201d between him and the company.<\/p>\n

Speaking to Citi News <\/strong>Kenu questioned the rationale behind his dismissal saying he has explained to his employers why he took the decision.<\/p>\n

The Daily Graphic reporter, Daniel Kenu<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\u201cWhat have I done to constitute that? I have been beaten so am I being punished for being beaten? I was going through troubles my family was under stress. My mum is ill, my uncle has just died, we\u2019ve buried him. What else do you want me to do? Should I kill myself? If you are angry at the Gyan brothers must I be punished for their sins?\u201d he fumed.<\/p>\n

\"Ken<\/a><\/p>\n

He also refuted claims that he was bribed by the Gyan brothers to withdraw the case from court.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhere was the money given to me? And it\u2019s so funny people are still alleging that I am in Dubai now, I am enjoying with my family. People are saying I\u2019ve been given three bedroom house. Some say Pontiac Vibe\u2026 If there is truth in all these allegations, there should be one or two figures running around, look three-bedroom house and money for receiving a slap? Then everybody will be going for a slap,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n
