Outspoken Member of Parliament for Assin Central, Kennedy Agyapong has revealed that the current Managing Director of Bulk Oil Storage and Transportation (BOST), Alfred Obeng Boateng contributed immensely to the New Patriotic Party’s 2016 campaign as he offered the party GHC 700,000.
His comment comes on the heels of calls by some figures demanding the immediate termination of the appointment of Mr. Obeng Boateng following his alleged involvement in the controversial contaminated oil deal.
BOST came under the spotlight when it was revealed that it had sold 5 million litres of contaminated products to unlicensed companies in a deal that several observers claim cost the nation millions of cedis.
Some have alleged that Mr. Obeng Boateng colluded, connived and supervised the sale, hence, the call to axe him.
But Mr. Agyapong on Adom TV’s ‘Badwam’, Tuesday mounted defense insisting the boss of BOST never had a hand in the deal.
Launching an attack on the New Patriotic Party (NPP), the legislator mentioned that members who are calling for the head of the managing director are uninformed about his contribution to the success of the party, stating that he was one of the people who funded the party’s 2016 election campaign.
“I didn’t know Alfred Obeng until Sammy Awuku introduced him to me that he wants to help. He promised to give one million but I asked him to keep the money because from April to December, I can handle Central and Western regions. NDC has a strategy which is pumping money at the last minute stage so that will be the time I will need money. Frankly speaking, I encountered a challenge after bringing the pickups so I called him. Quickly, he gave me GHC 200,000. Then I went for a loan from Glico Insurance to enable me go for the cars,” he narrated.
“He added GHC 500,000 in October. As soon as I received the money, I called Ken Ofori-Atta who was in charge of the mobilization of funds to inform him. People funded NDC so why is Alhaji Bature saying Alfred Obeng has bribed me? Today, he is the boss at BOST and people are complaining. The problem NPP has is they always allow NDC to set agenda for them. They are criticizing the guy without knowing his contribution,” he noted.
Kennedy Agyapong has for some time now been critical of the activities of his party as he postulates that the NPP is not in control of affairs.
He has vowed to bring down the party following alleged threats by some members on his business

I'm sorry for Alfred Obeng to have a friend like this okro mouth guy. Somebody who can't keep secret is not worth being a friend to somebody respected like Alfred Obeng Boateng. How can you take Kennedy Agyepong as a friend to share your views? I agree with you that Kennedy Agyepong might be bipolar but I don't agree with you as a medical practitioner. Anybody familiar with symptoms and diagnosis of bipolar will know how they behave. I believe he knows his problem but might ign*re it for help or may not be taking his medications for treatment. One problem with Ghanaians is we ign*re behavioral attitudes as normal becau se of our i.g.n.o.r.a.n.c.e and that is hurting a lot of people. Any normal person will stop going to asempa fm but yet still he is going there fighting with even the presenter,something is really really wrong.
@KK NPP is mad because he has taken advantage of the goodwill of the party members and has crossed the line. I can tell you that the party members have not been admiring of his volatile type of attacks. He has been a blessing and also a pain in the party. He is thick skinned and does not take criticisms well for a politician. As a medical practitioner, I can deduce from his behavior that he is bipolar and needs management but who will boldly tell him and will he accept the treatment? His behavior is a cry for help before he destroys himself. Sad case!!
AND SO????? People even give their lives for a party. People have died. What is all this??
I think Hon.Ken. is getting it wrong. Does it imply the MD should be allowed to willfully conterminate our fuel and sell to recover his money? The issue has nothing to do with whether the MD sponsored the NPP or not.
When will people start learning how not to talk or stop talking from their ***barred word***? Is it to show that they always have inside information? I can't even think.
donkomi ooo, support our NPP party and get the licence to loot state money and mismanage state funds. aben be bom dabi. eeiii Ghana paaa nie
Kennedy, were you not the same person who said Obeng is rich? there is nothing wrong if he contributed money to his own party. You also did the same thing. This man is too bitter.
When i look at stuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuupidty displayed by Kenedy Agyapong, i weep within myself. How can an MP rationalise things like this? Does it mean that the guy bought BOST with his 700,000? Is BOST now for sale? Then we should not complain about Woyome becaos he also contributed to both NDC and NPP. Ken we are tired of you. He should be suspended just like Afoko and Kwabena Agyapong
THE CONTRIBUTION TO THE PARTY CAMPAIGN DOES NOT MAKE THE BOST HEAD RIGHT IF HE INDEED COMMITTED ANY WRONG
TELL THE WORLD EVERYTHING...EVEN POLITICAL PARTIES IN EUROPE RECEIVE INDIVIDUAL FUNDING. KEN, YOU THINK YOU KNOW IT ALL, KWASIAKWAAAA..OFUIII...I WON'T BE SURPRISED IF YOU TELL THE PUBLIC HOW YOUR WIFE'S PUSSYYYYY LOOKS AND TASTES LIKE..GYIMIFUOOOOOOOOOOOOO PAAAAAAAAAAAA, WANIM S3333 MUGU YARO, KURASINIIIIII
