The NPP candidate for president Kennedy Agyapong responded to the debates surrounding the government’s Domestic Debt Exchange Program (DDEP).
Ken blasted the administration in an interview with Kumasi’s Hello FM, saying “what’s going on is illegal”
“I’ve not slept for the past week…I’ve been receiving numerous complaints and grievances. People are wailing, others are contemplating suicide. I won’t criticize govt but I feel they have not engaged the people…our approach has been completely wrong. I plead with governance and Finance Minister to engage the people” he stated.
“It would have been very reasonable to engage the people and even strike a deal with them,” says Member of Parliament for Assin Central constituency, Kennedy Agyapong.
Kennedy Ohene Agyapong, a member of parliament for Assin Central and a member of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has outlined his goals for building a sustainable economy in Ghana.
He declared that if elected president of Ghana in 2024, he will use agriculture to support both Ghana and all of Africa.
“If you vote me today or elect me as President of Ghana, I will use the five regions of the north, Afram and Accra plains to feed the whole of Africa,” he promised.
“We have arable lands here, and we are saying we are poor. We are not poor, we need a push and enlightenment. People must have confidence, so we take our destiny into our own hands and the sky will be the limit”, the presidential aspirant added.
“I don’t want to be president for eight years, I only want to be president for four years, challenge me and see how it will be done, and there is a difference between a leader and a politician.
“A leader is the one who thinks of the development of his country and takes bold decisions irrespective of the repercussions. And the politician is the one who thinks of tomorrow’s election and therefore is not bold to take decisions,” he said in a YouTube video shared by Smart Ghana Updates TV.
“And so, I don’t think of tomorrow’s election, I think of today and how I can make a difference,” he stressed adding that even in the event that he was going to spend the full eight-year constitutional term, “Ghanaians will decide after four years, I won’t be afraid, I will invest in Ghana and create employment for the youth,” he said to loud applause.
In the 2024 elections, Agyapong aspires to succeed President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo as head of the NPP.
