Former Assin Central Member of Parliament, Kennedy Ohene Agyapong, has issued a strong warning to members of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), stating that he will not be intimidated by criticism from within the party and could disclose more information if attacks against him continue.
His comments come in the wake of backlash from some NPP supporters and officials following his recent criticism of the party’s handling of key national projects during its time in government.
Speaking on Net 2 TV, Agyapong defended his remarks about the stalled Afari Military Hospital project, arguing that his concerns are driven by the country’s development needs rather than personal grievances.
According to him, the facility, which was expected to serve both military personnel and civilians, should have been fully completed and operational after years of investment under the previous administration.
Responding to claims that he is bitter following the NPP’s 2024 presidential primaries, Agyapong dismissed the allegation and insisted that he cannot be silenced.
“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 and whether they were able to complete even one. They sold the contracts to other people and took 10 per cent,” he alleged.
The former presidential aspirant cautioned party members against provoking him further, suggesting that he possesses information that could expose deeper issues within the political system.
“NPP should be careful with me, saying I am bitter. If they provoke me, I will spill the beans all over the place,” he warned.
Agyapong also alleged that questionable practices in the awarding of public contracts are not limited to the NPP, claiming that similar incidents have occurred in dealings linked to the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC).
He recounted an alleged instance involving a contract worth $55 million that was presented to his wife, claiming that an advance payment of seven per cent was demanded before the contract could be awarded.
“In the NDC too, I was there when somebody brought a contract to my wife about 55 million dollars. She was asked to pay an advance of 7 per cent before they give it to her,” he alleged.
Agyapong maintained that corruption remains deeply rooted in Ghana’s political landscape and accused politicians across the divide of misleading the public. He stressed that he would continue speaking out on issues he believes affect the country, regardless of criticism from within his own party.
