An aspiring presidential candidate for the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), Kennedy Agyapong admits both his party and the opposition NDC are corrupt.
The controversial legislator described himself as the only disciplined character among the two “corrupt” political fraternities.
Hosted by Paul Adom Otchere on his Good Evening Ghana show, which aired on Accra-based Metro TV, the aspiring flagbearer of NPP conceded the misappropriation of funds cited by the Auditor General in its recent audit report.
“The performance of NPP during the COVID, I am not holding back; we have made some mistakes that we all have to accept, and I will be the first person to accept,” he noted.
Even though the NPP has made similar mistakes like the NDC, Mr. Agyapong says his outfit’s record supersedes the Mahama administration, which makes the former President a bad choice for Ghana.
He indicated that Mahama should give himself a break from politics.
“But if you compare the two governments, Akufo-Addo and Mahama, Mahama is not an alternative to Ghana because the man has been fortunate to succeed Atta Mills for two years,” Kennedy Agyapong said.
Responding to the former President’s claim that the NPP is corrupt, the Assin Central MP said, “NPP is corrupt, NDC is corrupt, that is why you have Kennedy Agyapong coming in.”
Unlike the members of his party, particularly his contenders in the flagbearership race, he boasted that “I am a disciplined NPP (member).”
