Former Assin Central Member of Parliament, Kennedy Ohene Agyapong, has issued a strong warning to members of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), saying he will reveal certain information if he is pushed or provoked.
The outspoken politician stated that he is not bitter, despite some claims within the party, but rather concerned about issues affecting the party and the country.
He cautioned his critics against making comments that could force him to disclose matters he has kept private.
“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.
“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.
He further alleged that the practice of selling public contracts and demanding kickbacks is not confined to one political party, claiming that similar incidents have occurred in dealings linked to the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC).
“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.
Agyapong maintained that corruption remains deeply entrenched in Ghana’s political system, arguing that politicians continue to mislead the public. He insisted that he would not be pressured into remaining silent on issues he believes are affecting the country’s development and governance.
His comments come amid growing discussions within the NPP over internal disagreements, leadership challenges, and the direction of the party after its recent political setbacks.
