Kennedy Agyapong, the Member of Parliament for Assin Central, has made serious allegations regarding his colleague MP for Bantama, Francis Asenso-Boakye. Agyapong claims that the corruption reports surrounding Asenso-Boakye are indeed true.
Specifically, Agyapong has accused Asenso-Boakye, who currently serves as the housing minister, of embezzling funds within his ministry. These allegations are deeply concerning and warrant thorough investigation.
Furthermore, Agyapong has brought to light previous reports of Asenso-Boakye allegedly soliciting bribes in exchange for facilitating access to the president during his tenure as deputy Chief of Staff from 2017 to 2021. Such behavior, if proven true, is a grave breach of trust and undermines the integrity of our government.
“Today because of president Akufo-Addo, Asenso sits on radio and talks big that if Ken will win (flagbearership), NPP is better off in opposition, is that what power is about? How much money have you stolen from Housing (ministry)?” he asked while addressing NPP delegates in Bantama.
“Even as deputy Chief of Staff, you were taking bribes of US$20,000, you think the man was not truthful? Ask Kwabena Asante of Adom FM about the Chinese people, a deal I eventually blocked.
“If you recall, I warned the NPP that they were disgracing Nana Akufo-Addo, those at Jubilee House that were taking money to grant access to the president, I was referring to Asenso, today I am telling you,” Agyapong stressed.
He was in Bantama to campaign for his brother Ralph Opoku Agyapong, who is contesting Asenso-Boakye in the NPP parliamentary primaries. Agyapog warned that if delegates elected Asenso, he would release damning details of the Bantama MP’s corrupt acts.
