Former Assin Central Member of Parliament, Kennedy Ohene Agyapong, has issued a stern warning to members of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), saying he will reveal more information about happenings within the party if attempts are made to discredit or provoke him.
Speaking on Net 2 TV, Agyapong insisted that he would not be intimidated into silence following criticism from some party members over his recent comments on the NPP’s performance during its eight years in government.
According to him, suggestions that he is speaking out because of bitterness over the party’s presidential primaries are unfounded.
“They say I am bitter, but I will not respond to them. They think this is about what happened during the campaign. They can’t shut me down,” he stated.
The former lawmaker maintained that his criticisms are motivated by concerns about Ghana’s development and the need for accountability rather than personal grievances.
Agyapong questioned the progress made on key government initiatives, particularly the Agenda 111 hospital project, arguing that Ghanaians deserve answers regarding the status of the programme.
“If Ghanaians want to know, they should ask them about Agenda 111 and whether they were able to complete even one. They sold the contracts to other people and took 10 per cent,” he alleged.
He further cautioned party members against branding him as bitter, warning that continued attacks could prompt him to disclose more information.
“The NPP should be careful with me. If they continue saying I am bitter and provoke me, I will spill the beans all over the place,” he said.
Agyapong also alleged that corrupt practices are not limited to a single political party, claiming he had personally witnessed instances involving individuals linked to the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC).
“In the NDC too, I was there when somebody brought a contract worth about 55 million dollars to my wife. She was asked to pay an advance of seven per cent before the contract would be awarded,” he alleged.
The outspoken businessman argued that corruption remains deeply rooted in Ghana’s political system and accused politicians across the political divide of deceiving the public.
He reiterated that he would continue speaking on issues of governance, transparency and accountability regardless of criticism from within his party.
