\n\"Kwabena\n<\/p>\n

\nFormer General Secretary of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) Kwabena Agyei Agyepong has criticized the Akufo-Addo led administration for placing too much emphasis on Public Relations (PR) instead of focusing on the real challenges confronting the country.<\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\nHe says any government that believes it has done so well for the people will not waste scarce resources projecting its works as the beneficiaries themselves will speak the same if they feel it.\u00a0<\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\u201cWe\u2019ve got things upside down in this country. Talk is cheap, what is important is that when you are doing something good you don\u2019t need to speak too much about it. When people feel the impact of it, you don\u2019t need to tell them,\u201d he said.<\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\u201cYes it is good to explain your policies but we are overemphasizing PR in this country and people have created enterprise out of it. That is not what we require as a government, as a party and as a people,\u201d he said.<\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\nMr Agyapong made these comments in an interview with Ghana Television last Thursday, September 22, 2022.<\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\nHe also spoke against the growing incidence of conflict of interest in public institutions, adding it is sickening that Directors in various Institutions form companies to offer contracts to themselves.<\/span>\n<\/p>\n
