They are saying that he doesn\u2019t listen to them. That guy was a fantastic Secretary, but he should know that as Minister things are different. He can\u2019t satisfy everyone. I haven\u2019t sat with him yet. He hasn\u2019t called me. We haven\u2019t spoken\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Asked by the host, Philip Osei Bonsu whether he had reached out to the minister, Mr Agyapong said he has not done that and that the Minister should know \u201cme Kennedy Agyapong I\u2019m a big guy who won\u2019t be chasing him for a meeting\u201d, the outspoken lawmaker said.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Kennedy Agyapong however said one year was \u201ctoo short a period to assess him (the Regional Minister), but we have a lot of work to do\u201d, he said.<\/p>\n<p>Kwamena Duncan who until his appointment was the NPP\u2019s Central Regional Secretary was appointed by President Nana Akufo Addo in a move widely hailed.<\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: 32 updated by: 32 --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Start of html generated by this->footer() -->\n<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a style=\"display:none\" rel=\"follow\" href=\"http:\/\/megatheme.ir\/\" title=\"\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633\">\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Politics of Wednesday, 14 February 2018 Source: peacefmonline.com 2018-02-14 Kennedy Agyapong, MP for Assin Central It appears the convincing grip the New Patriotic Party has over the Central Region of Ghana, following the results of the 2016 election is fast loosening.
