We won’t build an AstroTurf because you vote against NPP - Ken Agyapong to Kintampo residents

The Member of Parliament (MP) for Assin Central constituency, Kennedy Agyapong, has issued a warning to the residents of Kintampo North regarding the government's plans to build an AstroTurf for them.

He expressed frustration over the fact that the constituents often vote against the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in general elections but still expect the government to carry out development projects for them.

During an NPP campaign rally in Kintampo, Agyapong, who is also the Board Chairman of Ghana National Gas Company, stated that he has the authority to approve the construction of an AstroTurf in Kintampo North but will not do so.

"If you don’t vote for us and you ask us for development... I’m the chairman of Ghana Gas and I can give the approval for you to get the AstroTurf but I will not do it because you always vote against us.

"You take all the things in the world, but you don’t vote for us. So, I’m not bringing it (the AstroTurf) to you... we gave you a Controller-General but you were not pleased, we gave you the Director General of Immigration, and you were not pleased. What again should we give you for you to be grateful?" he asked in Twi.
