Assin Central MP, Kennedy Agyapong, has asserted that politics stands as one of Ghana's biggest woes.

He said politics is destroying the country.

Speaking in an interview on TV3 NewDay, he noted that politics has polarised the system such that politicians are unable to undertake initiatives that would be advantageous for the country in the long term.

He recounted a recent visit to the Volta Region during which he observed that the area possesses extensive untapped land resources. However, he remarked that the region's leaders have not yet exploited this potential land to its fullest extent.

“I had the opportunity to go round 13 regions and when I got to Volta, I was shocked. The land, water bodies, are all lying there untapped but we can use them to do a lot.

“The land in Volta is more suitable for cassava and sugar cane and I questioned if we even have leaders in Ghana,” he said.

He said if elected, he would ensure that these resources are well utilised if given the nod.
