Private Legal Practitioner and Former New Patriotic Party (NPP) Lawmaker for Abuakwa South, Hon Samuel Atta Akyea, has taken a swipe at Kennedy Agyapong, describing his temperament as uncontrollable and publicly visible.
Speaking on Adom 106.3 FM in reaction to attacks by members of the Kennedy Agyapong Campaign team, the former Minister for Works and Housing said no one is fabricating stories about the outspoken politician; everything the public knows is based on his own conduct.
Atta Akyea dismissed claims that there is a hidden corruption tag associated with Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, insisting that if anyone has evidence, they should boldly bring it forward rather than rely on rumours. “What corruption tag is sticking to Bawumia? If it is known, let them say it. We should stop the gossip. People are suffering, but they find it convenient to gossip about others,” he said.
Switching focus to Kennedy Agyapong, he drew from personal experience, revealing that they were classmates at Adisadel College. According to him, Kennedy’s behaviour is not new, and not misunderstood. “Ken is my classmate. He is strong-headed. Whatever comes to his mind to do, he will do it without hesitation. Even if he is in the middle of the market, he doesn’t care about the location; he will vent his anger.”
He stressed that the public’s perception of Kennedy Agyapong is based on documented actions, not lies. “No one is speaking falsely against Kennedy Agyapong. It is his real and actual behaviour that we recorded which we are making known. The pastors he has insulted, leaders he has attacked, even Former President Akufo-Addo and his own NPP leaders, all these are not fabrications. They are the things he has actually done.”
Atta Ayea added that members of the opposition NDC are quietly hoping Kennedy Agyapong becomes the NPP’s flagbearer because his own utterances would be used against him in the 2028 elections. “Most of the NDC are praying he wins. If he wins, the NDC will not need to bother campaigning; they will use his own words against him,” he argued.
He concluded by saying Kennedy cannot hide the very behaviour that is now haunting him.
“He cannot fake the condition that is making him suffer. The results of his insults and abuse he has directed at people are all coming to light.”
The comments add to the already heated internal rivalry within the NPP and reflect ongoing debates over which candidate can best secure the party’s future.
