Professor Aaron Mike Oquaye, former Speaker of Parliament and member of the New Patriotic Party‘s (NPP) Council of Elders, has called on the party’s leadership to urgently intervene and address the recent attacks by outgoing Member of Parliament (MP) Kennedy Agyapong.
Mr Agyapong accused Works and Housing Minister Francis Asenso Boakye of colluding with the judicial services to sell state lands to private developers, urging delegates to reject Asenso-Boakye in the upcoming parliamentary elections.
Professor Mike Oquaye emphasized the need for party leaders and elders to address the situation in the interest of party unity.
“Kennedy Agyapong made a public statement that the elections were free and fair. In the interest of the party, I will think that the elders, of which I am one, and the national executive must put it on their agenda to ensure that everybody is put in a certain order,” the former speaker of the legislature stated.
“The facts are that the current developments taking place at the official residence of the late Justice Marful-Sau form part of the Government Redevelopment Programme (GRP),” the statement emphasised.
Meanwhile, the Ministry of Works and Housing denied the allegations in a press release, stating that no such sale had occurred and clarifying the ongoing Government Redevelopment Programme (GRP).
As Mr Agyapong continues his attacks within the party, there are calls for party flagbearer Dr. Bawumia to intervene.
Political analyst Dr. Jonathan Asante Otchere suggested that direct confrontation with Agyapong might not benefit the party, and Bawumia’s intervention could incur Mr Agyapong’s displeasure.
The NPP delegates are set to elect parliamentary candidates on Saturday, January 27, 2024, in constituencies where the party currently holds parliamentary seats.
