Kennedy Agyapong is Seattle
NPP Seattle was graced with the presence of Honorable Member
of Parliament of Assin Central, Kennedy Agyapong on Saturday
March 12, 2016. This was the first time the Honorable member
was in the evergreen state. The forum was well attended,
although it had a late start. It was held at the Covington public
library conference room, in Covington, Washington.
The chairman of NPP Seattle, Mr. Phil Asamoah, opened
the
forum by welcoming everyone and gave a brief history of NPP
Seattle. He stated that the goal of NPP Seattle is to bring all NPP
sympathizers in Washington State and the entire Northwest
together to form a unified front to assist the party in the
upcoming elections in Ghana. The chairman further stated that, Washington State has unique
opportunities over the other states, in that the state can boast of some giant global business enterprises
like Boeing, Microsoft, Costco, Amazon, Starbucks, and others. NPP Seattle could initiate and foster
mutual relationships between Ghana and those global powerhouses when NPP is voted into office. Such
partnerships will help make Ghana great again, referring to the days of J A. Kuffour.
The secretary of NPP Seattle, Dr. Michael Newmann-Godful, who also moderated the forum, also shared
with the group that, the leadership will launch a special program called “Operation 1000 Pooling
Agents” at the end of March 2016. The goal of the program is to recruit about one thousand eligible
Ghanaians living abroad who are willing to volunteer as pooling agents for NPP in November. Further
details could be obtained by calling (206-250-3737 or 206-249-2159).
The Honorable MP, Kennedy Agyapong took his turn at the podium and delivered an unscripted speech
that wowed the audience. In his usual maverick style, he stated that gross incompetence in
management of the nation’s resources has crippled every sphere of Ghanaian life. While Ghanaians are
suffering, the NDC government is only interested in how to steal the elections again. The NDC has
resorted to sowing seeds of discord among tribes. He cited that, the NDC has a well formulated regionspecific
10-point diabolical strategy that is being peddled by its campaigners across the country,
especially in the rural communities. The goal is to pit one tribe against the rest to incite hatred, division
and unnecessary tension in the country. According to the plan, for instance, when they go to the north,
their message is that Ashantis consider northerners as inferior people. The message for easterners is
that the Ashanti kingdom disrespects the Akyem people and their leadership. While in parts of western
and central regions they pit the Denkyiras against the Ashantis, and similar things are going on in the
rest of the regions. These are all dirty political tactics that are incendiary, unnationalistic, uncouth, and
divisive.
In one instance the MP cited how NDC plotted to fabricate a story to accuse Nana Addo of murdering his
wife about twenty plus years ago. That lie was manufactured from the board room of the NDC to
destroy Nana Addo. He asserted that Ghanaians must watch out for another drama in the Affoko saga.
The NDC is working behind the scene through the corrupt judiciary system to have Affoko reinstated as
the chairman of NPP, in the heat of the campaign. The goal is to start another round of internal
wrangling within the NPP. The MP stated that Ghanaians must not pay attention to the accusations NDC
makes about Nana Addo, because it is, in fact, their modus operandi. It is well known that NDC has
expertise in stealing elections to stay in power, but highly incompetent in governing. The MP continued
that NDC’s incompetence should not be treated as a mere campaign slogan, in fact, it is real and its
effects are staggering. President Mahama is usually off work at 3pm, and from there it is all about
boozing and womanizing, the MP intoned. Mahama has no clue whatsoever in the real state of the
country. Some of his own close aides have hinted out of good conscience that the country must be
saved from the NDC.
On the electoral process, the MP stated that the electoral commission has become both a player and a
referee, and it is literally in bed with NDC. He advised that Ghanaians must not give the verdict to the
electoral commission to decide because the will of the people will not be affirmed.
The commission, as it
exists now, is serving personalities and not the nation. On what NPP is doing to counter such
irresponsibility from the commission, the vibrant MP stated that the party is taking vigilance to a whole
new level this time. There are many plans the party leadership has in place which cannot be divulged to
the public for now. He however, appealed to all Ghanaians to help remove these irresponsible,
incompetent, thieving, and organized criminals from leading our country.
Some of the NPP supporters asked the honorable MP questions ranging from the economy to morality,
health, education, national pride, corruption and others. They all implored the MP and his team to work
harder alongside Nana Addo to win power and make Ghana great again. They advised party leadership
to remain resolute and avoid petty squabbles because the country will not forgive them if they fail to
deliver Ghanaians from the hands these nation wreckers. Many of them shouted “make Ghana great
again!
