Kennedy Agyapong Causes A Massive Stir After Criticizing His Own Political Party On Live TV

Kennedy Agyapong, a prominent member of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has criticised the party’s economic performance, saying it should not take credit for the depreciation of the Ghanaian cedi against the US dollar.

During an appearance on TV3’s New Day, Agyapong rejected suggestions that the NPP deserved recognition for the exchange rate changing from about GH¢4 to GH¢12 to one US dollar.

He maintained that the party’s economic record must be evaluated objectively, adding that the sharp depreciation of the local currency cannot reasonably be described as a success.

Agyapong further acknowledged that the NPP did not fulfil all its promises to manage the economy effectively and keep the cedi stable. He also drew attention to the financial difficulties affecting businesses and ordinary households.

His criticism of his own party has generated different reactions. Some people have welcomed his comments, while others have questioned whether his political ambitions influenced his decision to speak out.

The comments have reignited conversations about the NPP’s economic record and its accountability for the challenges Ghana faced under its administration.

They have also highlighted the need for effective economic policies that will stabilise the cedi, ease financial pressure on households and businesses, and rebuild confidence in the country’s economy.
