NPP refers Kennedy Agyapong to disciplinary committee over alleged anti party behavior
The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has referred former Assin Central Member of Parliament, Kennedy Ohene Agyapong, to its National Disciplinary Committee following petitions over recent comments he made.
The party’s National Organiser, Henry Nana Boakye, announced the decision and said the petitions relate to remarks that are believed to be harmful to the party’s unity and cohesion.
According to him, the National Disciplinary Committee has been given two weeks to investigate the matter and submit its report to the party’s leadership.
“The position is that we have referred all petitions received regarding Kennedy Agyapong’s comments to the National Disciplinary Committee, and we have given them two weeks to deal with the matter,” he said.
He explained that after receiving the committee’s report, the National Executive Committee (NEC) will hold another meeting to discuss the findings and decide on the next course of action.
The petitions stem from recent comments by Mr Agyapong in which he alleged that contracts awarded under the previous NPP administration, including those linked to the construction of the 37 Military Hospital, required contractors to pay a 10 per cent kickback before securing the deals.
He also accused some party officials of engaging in practices that contributed to the NPP’s defeat in the 2024 general election.

Ghanaian soccer fans partied all-night again after the Black Stars held the Three Lions of England to a pulsating goalless draw in a Group L game on Tuesday.
Despite dropping points, the outcome sparked scenes similar to what was seen about a week ago when the Black Stars defeated Panama 1-0 in their opening game.
Ghana went into the game as massive underdogs considering England’s credentials. They were heavy favourites but both countries had their eyes on the same prize-qualification to the next stage of the competition.
With just a point separating the top three countries in the group, qualification would be settled on the final day of qualifiers, which is today when Ghana takes on Croatia and England faces Panama.
Moments after the whistle went for the end of proceedings, the fans hit the streets, jamming to the various Black Stars-themed songs, dancing late into the night.
Though they were working days, fans filled night clubs and pubs in the various vicinities chanting the Stars who became instant heroes.

The impact of this year’s rains has been severe, with its intensity and volume surpassing those experienced in previous years.
The heavy rains have exposed significant weaknesses in the country’s drainage system, town planning, sanitation, and building construction systems, leading to loss of lives and property.
Additionally, several storey buildings have collapsed, leaving residents and families devastated by the loss of their loved ones.
In many areas, streets have been transformed into rivers as a result of clogged drainage systems.
Road traffic congestion has also become a daily challenge as a result, as vehicles struggle to navigate flooded roads.
Consequently, many commuters are forced to spend long hours in traffic and arrive home late from work.
With the Ghana Meteorological Agency announcing more rains in the coming weeks, it is important for the government to intensify efforts to address the persistent flooding problem.
Additionally, citizens must change their attitudes towards waste disposal to prevent drainage systems from becoming clogged and to help reduce the impact of flooding across the country.
