A flagbearer hopeful of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Kennedy Agyapong, has highlighted some of the businesses he owns while criticizing his opponents who are affiliated with the government.

Agyapong stated that he has provided employment to thousands of Ghanaians through his various businesses. While he did not mention any specific names, he compared himself to his opponents, presumably including Vice President Dr. Bawumia, stating that he sees himself as more of a strategist than the head of the Economic Management team.

During one of his campaign tours, Agyapong emphasized his contributions, stating, "Through my Steel Plant, I will employ thousands of workers in the coming months. I possess the largest Cold Store in the entire Africa.

In contrast, you rely on government payments, including salaries for your household staff and security personnel, and reside in government-provided accommodations."

“But I pay 7158 workers every month in this country. So, between the two of us who is the strategist? This is internal politics and so we shouldn’t be dirty but if they attack me, I will reply,” he added.

Kennedy Agyapong also recounted how he lost the value of his money due to the Cedi’s depreciation.

He added that the Vice President cannot call himself a strategist when he took over when the cedi was selling at GH¢4 but its selling at GH¢12.

“We will have troubles if we don’t do a clean campaign because I will reply to every claim made against me. You call yourself a strategist but when we were taking over power the Dollar was 4 Cedis, today One Dollar is Twelve Cedis and yet you call yourself a strategist.

“In March 2022 I had 40 million Dollars in Cedi equivalent, in August 2022 the value of the 40 million dollars had dropped to 16 million,” he stated.
