New Patriotic Party (NPP) Presidential candidate aspirant and Member of Parliament (MP) for Assin Central Hon Kennedy Agyapong has been justifying why he deserves to lead the party in 2024.
He claims he has committed a lot of sacrifices for the party including paying off a loan of $3 million with interest the party contracted when the party had nothing in the year 1992.
“I paid the loan with interest and it took us eight years, Supper Care Company LTD; my company took eight years to pay back the loan with interest. Three million dollars at that time plus interest in 1992. Even today as we speak, $3 million is a lot of money how much more 31 years ago.” Mr Kennedy Agyapong said this in an interview with NET 2 TV
According to the businessman, when the party won elections in 2001 after a long struggle, Former President John Agyakum Kufuor never left him out and that he is always grateful to him.
“That why I will always give credit to President Kufuor. When he came to power, for the first four years I didn’t get any job to do, so when I went to tell him about it and he was shocked. He told me to mention any to go to any ministry there was a contract and mention him as being the one who asked me to come” he revealed.
“Because of this president Kufuor promoted me I will praise him for that” he added.
Other contribution according to Mr Kennedy Agyapong is that he purchased pick – ups for the NPP in major electioneering years.
“In 2004, I and Mr. Oppong we bought 100 pick-ups for the party. In 2008 I and Mr Oppong again bought 240 TATA pick-ups for the NPP for every constituency” he claimed.
