Kennedy Agyapong, a potential flagbearer for the New Patriotic Party (NPP), claims that certain party members have been unkind to him.
The Assin Central Member of Parliament said in a speech to party members in the Berekum constituency as part of his ongoing campaign that prominent party figures, including government appointees who had benefited from his generosity, had now turned against him in favor of another candidate.
“Very very ungrateful human beings because when you look at the young boys a certain candidate has deployed and the things they go saying about me; they are people I’ve helped too. People I’ve helped in this world. I campaigned for some and bought pickups for some to become ministers, I even lobbied positions for some of them, but today they are saying I should never mention that I’ve helped them. But as God lives, everybody will get their reward,” he stated.
Kennedy Agyapong, a party financier, also stated how other party financiers, such as Jacqueline Buah Asomah-Hinneh, owner of the Labianca firm, suffered as a result of the party’s lack of thanks.
“There is an ex-police officer in Berekum here whose wife operates a cold store at Tema. It was the woman who paid duty for the clearance of 80 pickup cars… But do you know something if you don’t vote well in the NPP, today is her turn, but tomorrow may be your turn,” Kennedy Agyapong said detailing some contributions of Miss Asomah-Hinneh to the delegates.
He said the businesswoman has been through so much suffering that when a certain minister from the Ashanti Region is mentioned, it shocks her and has saddening repercussions.
“The woman, after all the money she spent on NPP has had her business collapse under an NPP government. There is one minister who has to go and beg the woman; he thinks he has seen everything in this life. A young minister from Ashanti Region and I am not saying this to disgrace the woman but whenever the woman mentions his name, she goes on to say ‘Ken let me visit the loo and come.’ I swear to God. You can hear her pain for all the financing she did for the party and how NPP has repaid her; very ungrateful human beings,” he stated.
