Former Assin Central Member of Parliament, Kennedy Agyapong, has issued a strong warning to members of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), cautioning them against attempts to discredit him over his recent criticisms of the party’s record in government.
The outspoken politician, who contested the NPP flagbearership race, said he would not be intimidated by claims that he is speaking out because of bitterness following the party’s internal contest.
Speaking during an interview on Net 2 TV, Agyapong insisted that his comments are motivated by concerns about national development and accountability rather than personal grievances.
His latest remarks come after sections of the party criticized him for questioning the previous administration’s inability to fully operationalise the Afari Military Hospital despite eight years in office.
According to him, the hospital project represented a significant opportunity to improve healthcare delivery for both military personnel and civilians, and should have been completed and put into use.
Addressing allegations that he has become bitter toward the party, Agyapong dismissed the claims and indicated that he possesses information that could expose wrongdoing if party members continue attacking him.
“The NPP says I am bitter. I will not say anything to them. They think it is about what they did during the campaign. They can’t shut me down. If Ghanaians want to know, they should ask them about Agenda 111, whether they were able to complete one. They sold the contracts to other people and took 10 per cent,” he alleged.
The former lawmaker warned that further provocations could force him to disclose additional information concerning activities within the party.
“NPP should be careful with me, saying I am bitter. If they provoke me, I will spill the beans all over the place,” he cautioned.
Agyapong also extended his criticism beyond the NPP, alleging that questionable practices surrounding public contracts are not limited to one political party.
“In the NDC, too, I was there when somebody brought a contract to my wife worth 55 million dollars. She was asked to pay an advance of 7 per cent before they would give it to her,” he alleged.
He argued that corruption remains deeply rooted within Ghana’s political system and accused politicians across the political divide of misleading the public.
The businessman and former legislator maintained that he would continue to speak on issues affecting governance and national development regardless of criticism from political actors.
