Former Assin Central MP, Kennedy Ohene Agyapong, has firmly pushed back against mounting criticism from within his own New Patriotic Party (NPP), declaring that he will not be silenced in his quest to promote good governance and accountability.
Agyapong’s latest controversy stems from his outspoken comments on the stalled Afari Military Hospital project. On Net 2 TV, he openly criticized the previous NPP administration for failing to complete and operationalize the hospital during its eight years in power, a move that sparked backlash from some party supporters.
Addressing his critics, Agyapong rejected claims that his remarks were fueled by personal grudges or disappointment over past political events. He insisted his motivation is a deep commitment to national development and transparency. “Attempts to portray me as bitter will not stop me from raising issues that are in the public interest,” he asserted.
Agyapong went further, questioning the progress of other flagship government initiatives such as the Agenda 111 hospital programme, and alleging irregularities in the award and execution of public contracts. He warned party members not to dismiss his concerns lightly, cautioning that continued attacks on his character could lead him to reveal even more about internal activities within the political establishment.
The former lawmaker maintained that questionable practices in public contracting are not unique to any one party, asserting that such challenges have persisted across the political spectrum. For Agyapong, corruption remains a stubborn obstacle to Ghana’s progress, and he emphasized the need for political leaders to be held accountable, regardless of which party they belong to.
Kennedy Agyapong concluded by reaffirming his unwavering resolve to speak out on issues affecting the country’s development. He made it clear that criticism, whether from political opponents or his own party, will not intimidate him into silence.
