Member of Parliament for Assin Central and a presidential aspirant, Kennedy Ohene Agyapong has made startling allegations regarding the Ghana Police Service during his recent rally.

He asserted that positions within the police force were being sold, an activity he characterized as a clandestine operation. Despite the secrecy surrounding this issue, Ken Agyapong chose to expose it, citing the distress it was causing to crucial grassroots members, including the polling station executives.

“You are a delegate, they’ve asked us to be mute but I will speak, because if your child is going to look for a job and you can be asked to bring 10,000 cedis before your child would be recruited into the police.

“These same people are coming to you seeking your votes, so that your children remain jobless,” Agyapong jabbed without addressing the specific persons he was referring to as “they.”

He continued by praising his own track record in the area of job creation and stating that he stood out from the other NPP flagbearer candidates with whom he would be competing to lead the party into the 2024 elections.

The NPP lost the 2024 election, according to Agyapong, who made the claim earlier in his speech at the Accra SHOW DOWN WALK, citing the depreciation of the cedi and the impact of the Domestic Debt Exchange programme, which destroyed middle-class and pensioner savings.

“We lost the 2024 elections in 2022. At the time the Ghana cedi destroyed the hard work of many businessmen, all the way to the tomato seller. Ghanaians will never forget that.

"The time the middle class went to court because their monies were lost, and the time the pensioners had their monies gone, Ghanaians will remember that,” he stated.

Assuring the people, he said he was a member of the NPP who always looked out for the masses.

The New Patriotic Party is currently preparing to choose the party's official flagbearer to run for president in the December 2024 general elections.

In addition to Kennedy Agyapong, former Agriculture Minister Dr Owusu Afriyie Akoto and former Mampong MP Francis Addai Nimo are running.

On November 4, the NPP is anticipated to hold its national delegates conference to choose its flagbearer for the general elections of 2024.
