Member of Parliament for Assin Central, Kennedy Agyapong, asserts that corruption allegations surrounding his fellow MP for Bantama, Francis Asenso-Boakye, are accurate.
Agyapong accuses Asenso-Boakye, who currently serves as the Minister of Housing, of misappropriating funds within his ministry.
Additionally, Agyapong resurrects past reports alleging that Asenso-Boakye had solicited bribes to facilitate access to the president during his tenure as deputy Chief of Staff between 2017 and 2021.
“Today because of president Akufo-Addo, Asenso sits on radio and talks big that if Ken will win (flagbearership), NPP is better off in opposition, is that what power is about? How much money have you stolen from Housing (ministry)?” he asked while addressing NPP delegates in Bantama.
“Even as Deputy Chief of Staff, you were taking bribes of US$20,000, you think the man was not truthful? Ask Kwabena Asante of Adom FM about the Chinese people, a deal I eventually blocked.
“If you recall, I warned the NPP that they were disgracing Nana Akufo-Addo, those at Jubilee House that were taking money to grant access to the president, I was referring to Asenso, today I am telling you,” Agyapong stressed.
He was in Bantama to support his brother Ralph Opoku Agyapong, who is running in the NPP parliamentary primary against Asenso-Boakye. Agyapog threatened to disclose incriminating information about the corrupt activities of the Bantama MP if delegates chose Asenso.
