The National Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, has addressed the recent anti-corruption commitments made by Assin Central Member of Parliament, Kennedy Agyapong.

In an interview with Oyerepa TV earlier in the week, Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, popularly known as General Mosquito, asserted that Agyapong, who is currently an aspirant for the New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer position, is involved in the corruption within the government.

However, he suggested that Agyapong is positioning himself as a virtuous figure to garner votes in the presidential primaries scheduled for November 4.

“He is pretending, knowing that Ghanaians are tired of the rot and corruption currently going on, he is positioning himself as an anti-corruption crusader to get their support to win an election but he doesn’t have any intention of winning and coming to fight corruption,” he stated.

Mr Agyapong is set to compete for the NPP's flagbearer position, alongside three other contenders, namely Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, Dr. Owusu Afriyie Akoto, and Francis Addai-Nimoh.

The NPP has scheduled November 4, 2023, for the election to choose a successor to President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo as the party's leader.
