“NPP says I am bitter; If they provoke me, I will spill the beans everywhere” — Kennedy Agyapong warns NPP

Former flagbearer aspirant of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Kennedy Ohene Agyapong, has insisted that he will continue to speak out on issues of governance and accountability despite criticism from some members of the NPP.

His comments come in the wake of reactions from sections of the party following remarks he made about the government's inability to complete and operationalise the Afari Military Hospital during the NPP's eight years in office.

Mr. Agyapong expressed concern about the state of the hospital project, describing it as a missed opportunity to strengthen healthcare delivery for both military personnel and civilians. He argued that given the level of investment committed to the project, the facility should have been fully functional by now.

Speaking on Net 2 TV, the former NPP presidential aspirant rejected claims that his criticisms were driven by bitterness, maintaining that his concerns are motivated by national interest rather than partisan considerations.

“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 if they were able to complete one. They sold the contracts to other people and take 10 per cent,” he alleged.

Mr. Agyapong cautioned party members against dismissing his concerns, warning that he could disclose additional information if attempts are made to discredit him.

“NPP should be careful with me, saying I am bitter. If they provoke me, I will spill the beans all over the place,” he stated.

He further alleged that questionable practices relating to public contracts are not limited to a single political party, claiming that similar incidents have occurred in transactions associated with the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC).

“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.

Mr. Agyapong maintained that corruption remains a major challenge within Ghana's political landscape and argued that politicians must be held accountable. He stressed that he would not be pressured into remaining silent on issues he believes are in the public interest.
