Our duty as politicians is to bring solutions, not political cacophony – Boakye Agyarko

Former Minister of Energy, Boakye Agyarko, has expressed concern over what he described as excessive public exchanges within the New Patriotic Party (NPP), warning that such conduct is not in the interest of Ghanaians.

Speaking on Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen on Tuesday, September 30, 2025, Agyarko said ordinary citizens are more concerned about practical solutions to their daily challenges than constant political debates on radio and television.

“It’s not about the noisemaking. The noisemaking doesn’t impress Ghanaians; it rather irritates them. The ordinary Ghanaian just woke up looking for what to eat that morning, and politicians are on radio engaging in political cacophony. It doesn’t solve their problem. Our duty as politicians is to bring solutions to the people,” he said.

The former minister stated that he was ready to offer views on substantive issues such as youth unemployment, insisting that such conversations are more relevant than what he called “verbal political exchanges.”

Commenting on recent disagreements among party officials, Agyarko said certain matters should be dealt with privately rather than in the public domain.

He cited the exchanges between Bono Regional Chairman Kwame Baffoe, popularly known as Abronye, and the General Secretary of the NPP, noting that Abronye could have responded privately instead of making a public statement.

Agyarko acknowledged that the NPP was facing difficult times but maintained that the situation should not become the norm.
