  • The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has referred former MP Kennedy Agyapong to its National Disciplinary Committee over alleged anti-party comments.
  • Petitions against Agyapong cite remarks believed to harm party unity, including accusations of kickbacks for contracts under the previous NPP administration.
  • The committee has two weeks to investigate, after which the National Executive Committee will decide on further action.

The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has initiated disciplinary proceedings against former Assin Central Member of Parliament, Kennedy Ohene Agyapong. He has been referred to the party's National Disciplinary Committee following multiple petitions concerning recent comments deemed detrimental to the NPP's unity and cohesion.

Henry Nana Boakye, the party's National Organiser, announced that the committee has been tasked with investigating the matter over the next two weeks and will submit its findings to the party leadership. Subsequently, the National Executive Committee will convene to discuss the report and determine the appropriate course of action.

The petitions stem from allegations made by Agyapong, who claimed that contractors were required to pay a 10 percent kickback to secure deals, including those related to the construction of the 37 Military Hospital, during the previous NPP administration. He also accused some party officials of actions that contributed to the NPP's defeat in the 2024 general election.

The position is that we have referred all petitions received regarding Kennedy Agyapong’s comments to the National Disciplinary Committee, and we have given them two weeks to deal with the matter.
