Kennedy Agyapong, MP for Assin Central and Presidential aspirant of the governing New Patriotic Party has bashed the government over its mismanagement of the economy.
During his address to party delegates in the Kintampo, Mr. Agyapong conveyed his unhappiness at the Cedi depreciation and its impact on the country.
He said that the value of his $40 million in Cedi equivalent had decreased to $16 million over a period of five months, spanning from March to August 2022.
Even though the Assin Central legislator did not mention the Vice President’s name, he being the head of the economic management team of the country and an aspiring NPP flagbearer, showed that the condemnation was directed toward Dr. Bawumia.
Kennedy Agyapong said
“We will have troubles if we don’t do a clean campaign because I will reply to every claim made against me. You call yourself a strategist but when we were taking over power the Dollar was 4 Cedis, today One Dollar is Twelve Cedis and yet you call yourself a strategist.
“In March 2022 I had 40 million Dollars in Cedi equivalent, in August 2022 the value of the 40 million dollars had dropped to 16 million.”
Hon Agyapong highlighted the success of his business claiming he has employed over 7,000 which he believes is evident enough of him to create jobs for people in a country where unemployment is at a all-time high.
“With my Steel Plant, I am employing thousands of workers in this country by the next few months, I have the biggest Cold Store in the whole of Africa, as for you, the government pays you, pays your house girls, pays your security, you are living in government bungalows.
“But I pay 7158 workers every month in this country. So between the two of us who is the strategist? This is internal politics and so we shouldn’t be dirty but if they attack me I will reply.”
