Kennedy Ohene Agyapong, former Assin Central lawmaker and one‑time New Patriotic Party presidential aspirant, says he will not be silenced by party critics as tensions mount over his remarks on governance and accountability.
Hon. Agyapong’s comments come after he accused the NPP administration of failing to complete the Afari Military Hospital during its eight years in office. He described the unfinished facility as a missed opportunity to strengthen healthcare for both military personnel and civilians, noting the scale of investment that has gone into the project.
Speaking on Net 2 TV, Agyapong dismissed suggestions that his criticism stems from bitterness over the party’s internal politics. “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,” he said, alleging that contracts under the initiative were sold off with kickbacks.
He warned that continued attempts to dismiss his claims could prompt him to disclose more information. “If they provoke me, I will spill the beans all over the place,” he cautioned, adding that he would not be pressured into silence on issues he believes are undermining national development.
The outspoken politician also alleged that corruption is not confined to the NPP. He cited a past incident involving a $55 million contract linked to the opposition National Democratic Congress, claiming his wife was asked to pay a 7 percent advance before receiving the deal.
Agyapong argued that entrenched corruption across Ghana’s political system continues to mislead the public and erode trust. He maintained that politicians from both major parties have failed to deliver on promises, insisting that his interventions are driven by concern for the country’s progress rather than partisan rivalry.
