Kennedy Ohene Agyapong, Member of Parliament for Assin Central in the Central Region claims pressure is mounting on President Nana Akufo-Addo to sack him from the New Patriotic Party (NPP) for his vociferousness.
He believes the president is under immense pressure by certain elements within the party to push him out of the elephant’s family.
The maverick politician stated that he was particularly pained by machinations and plots to sack him from the NPP, vowing to campaign against some Members of Parliament in the Eastern and Ashanti region in the 2020 elections.”
“…They are always calling my name, the pressure on him [Akufo-Addo] to sack me from the party, he called John Boadu to write a letter. I’m pained but I’m quiet, on the said day, I cried before Frema [Chief of Staff]…”
Mr Agyapong was recently hauled before the Parliamentary Privileges Committee over some comments the House deems to be unsavory.
The Assin Central MP has not rested on his oars in openly criticizing party some members.
But speaking on The Dialogue on NET 2 TV on last week Mr. Agyapong said there were too many ingrates and backbiting within the NPP and vowed to expose those people.
According to him, the party is repeating the mistakes that took them to opposition in 2009.
He said: “when I was in China they were writing letters to convince the president to sack me from the party, it was John Boadu who defended me…and I don’t blame the president because everyone knows he likes me and so persistently they tell him, he is over pampering me, why would he not support them to sack me from the party.
Mr. Agyapong recalled: “President Kufuor during his time realised he had made mistakes but it was too late and this government is doing the same mistake….”
What hurt most is that Nana Akufo-Addo does not know what those people said about him before he became president and today, they are enjoying. I swear to God when I’m done in 2020, I’ll campaign against some people in the Ashanti and Eastern region”.

Masa sack yourself before he sack you.
What is good for the goose is also good for the gander.
Ken is greedy and because he is not getting his way that is why he has been so peeved and always ranting. He thinks he can always have his way but not when Nana Ado is in the driver seat. People dont know Ken very well. He is the most corrupt person who always blackmails people to get what he wants. Remember when he tried to blackmail Ken Atefua because Atefua refused to give him a contract? Yet he was all out supporting the BOST boss and later Energy Minister all because of what he gets from their being in office. He is a greedy politician
Yes, Ken can be sacked by the Party according to the Party procedure, but not by the President per se.
What cock and bull story. Can Nana Addo or any person sack another from a political party?
president is the leader of a party rather than the party chairman after npp constitutional amendment.Kennedy could be sacked as well as any party member who may make unhealthy comment that will not favour the fortunes of the party when NEC approves of it. in that case, there will be a bye election in the constituency for the sacked member to contest as independent candidate. so he could be sacked from the party and therefore, ceases to be mp on the ticket of npp. court action could be initiated if concerned person thinks it is unfair on his part to be sacked from a party. so kennedy is right that he could be sacked.
But the party does not belong to Akuffo- Addo. He can therefore not sack anyone from the party.
This is laughable! Nana Addo to sack you from what? Nana Addo has not appointed you to any post in his government and he does not have the power to sack you from NPP so what are you talking about?
