Kennedy Agyapong, a candidate for the New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearership, has vowed to expose information that will bring the party to an end if attempts are made to bring his enterprises to an end.
Mr. Agyapong stated in an interview with Kumasi’s Sompa FM that if attempts are made to bring down his businesses, he will “end the party” with his disclosures.
Mr. Agyapong said on the Sompa FM with Yaw Adu Boakye, “I am being kind and compassionate to NPP (members), they shouldn’t dare me, they shouldn’t dare me.
“…I will finish the party, the things I will say. The things I know that I have kept quiet”.
Witch-hunt
According to the Assin Central Member of Parliament, he has been the victim of a witch-hunt by members of his party since the beginning of the year, alleging that the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) was being used as a vehicle to intimidate and frustrate his business operations.
He alleged that the GRA wanted to station its personnel at his cold chain stores to police how much fish he sells daily, warning “Let me say this, I have gone past intimidation. They cannot use the system to intimidate me, I have to say this, I have opened businesses across the last five presidents. I never went through any of this harassment.”
“Ghana Revenue Authority can never collapse my business because I will fight. I will fight for the youth because that steel plant alone will take 1000 workers,” he said.
“And you are going there because Kwame Agyapong is loudmouthed because he wants to contest [for president] so you will destroy my business”.
He also threatened to expose alleged corrupt dealing at the GRA.
“Whether they are auditing, whether they are collapsing the business, I swear to God, Ghana Revenue Authority can never collapse my business because I will fight…”
