Kennedy Agyapong, a flagbearer hopeful of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has disclosed that ministerial appointments for Ashanti Regional appointees were finalized at his residence in Accra. This revelation came during his interview on Starr FM on October 5, 2023.
“Some of them I fought for them to get the ministerial appointment. Today, let me take the opportunity to challenge Wontumi to come out if I am lying because my witness is Edward Boateng,” Agyapong asserted.
He clarified that, excluding Asenso, every minister in the Ashanti region had their appointment list deliberated at his house. He explained his intention was not to insult anyone but to shed light on the truth behind these appointments.
“Now you ask the question why did Wontumi bring the list from Kumasi to my house at Movenpick, and my witness is Edward Boateng? The three of us, and I was directing: put this one here, put this one also here, and so on and so forth,” he elaborated.
The Assin Central Member of Parliament added that he was the first person to report to the president to confirm the said list of ministerial appointments before the Ashanti regional chairman of the party, Bernard Antwi Boasiko, popularly known as Chairman Wontumi, followed up.
“And I went first to tell the president that these are, you know, the list. Then Wontumi also went there,” he added.
Kennedy Agyapong will contest for the flagbearership slot along with three other contenders, including Dr. Bawumia, Dr. Owusu Afriyie Akoto, and Francis Addai-Nimoh. The NPP has slated November 4, 2023, to elect a successor to President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo as the leader of the party.
