Former New Patriotic Party (NPP) General Secretary Kwabena Agyapong has stated that politics isn’t a bad thing, but unfortunately, it’s the politicians that make it bad.
He claims that back then, politics developed out of passion, sacrifice, and service to the nation.
In an exclusive interview with Kwame Nkrumah Tikese on Okay FM, he said that elected officials had to create a service of contentment and prioritize national development.
He argued that every politician should put improving the nation ahead of accumulating wealth.
“Politics is not a bad thing, it is the people in politics that make it bad,” he added.
“When you do that you will lose the trust and confidence of the people who voted for you into power,” he said.
He added that, while in public office, he has never sought to benefit himself and that, even as press secretary, he was never pressured to buy real estate.
“So I was very pained and disappointed when the NDC out of propaganda and quest for power lied that I had some 1.6 billion hidden in a prudential bank account . . . I can tell you that I never even had a prudential bank account until recently,” he clarified.
