Communications Director of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Yaw Buaben Asamoa, has reacted to insults hurled at him by the Member of Parliament (MP) for Assin Central Kennedy Agyapong.
Kennedy Agyapong after Buaben Asamoa called for sanctions against him (Kennedy Agyapong) over his recent criticism of colleague NPP Parliamentarian Sarah Adwoa Safo described him (Buaben Asamoah) as a failed lawyer.
Kennedy Agyapong further added, “He [Yaw Buaben Asamoa] is a waste to the party. I have told you everything that is going on in the party, what role has he played? The problems we’re facing in the NPP with communication are because of Yaw Buaben Asamoa. His arrogance, he lost because of his arrogance at Adenta and now he is coming out with a tweet.
“All the current executives including Yaw Buaben Asamoa, if they don’t vote them out I will form a political party,” he told Accra-based radio on Tuesday, February 22.
Yaw Buaben Asamoa reacting to Kennedy’s statements in an interview with Happy98.9FM’s Don Kwabena Prah on the Epa Hoa Daben political talk show sarcastically said, “Kennedy Agyapong has more wisdom than every Ghanaian. He is so sensible and understands politics better than every Ghanaian. I just pray the pot of wisdom he is carrying doesn’t fall and crack like that of Kwaku Ananse.”
Buaben Asamoa described utterances of Kennedy Agyapong as unfair to Adwoa Safo and the NPP hence reasons for his call for disciplinary action against him (Kennedy).
“I don’t think Kennedy should be telling the world what we are discussing indoors, it is not fair to the party at this time. He should be disciplined,” he said.
Kennedy Agyapong had raised issues against the conduct of Sarah Adwoa Safo.
He said that the Minister of Gender, Children and Social Protection has failed in life for requesting that she should be made a Deputy Majority Leader in Parliament.

Buaben Asamoah, you have no case, the honourable Kennedy Agyapong keep warning the NPP on radio and television severally , he made it clear that if you forget the grassroots of the party you are in trouble. You sat there thinking Kennedy was disturbing your ears. Today see the embarrassment NPP is going through. All the current happenings in NPP have vindicated Kennedy Agyapong. In opposition NPP supporters used their own phones and credit to call into radio stations to champion the course of the party, others voluntarily went to radio stations as panelists to propagate the good works of president Kufuor and that Akuffo Addo was coming to do more. People got the message well and voted massively for the party. Today all those people have been relegated to the background, abandoned, neglected and forgotten, meanwhile there is a final of finals match to be played on December 7, 2024. The difference between the NPP and NDC is that irrespective of your economic and social standing in society once you work hard for the party you will be rewarded when they come to power, with the NPP you must be already made to be recognized. This is why the NDC is very popular in rural Ghana especially in the northern section. Kufour's policies and his executives ability to move government and party together helped in closing the gap with the NPP making inroads in areas it used not to be very popular. Akuffo Addo came and the gap has started widening, even cabinet ministers lost their seats in 2020. If every appointee in the current NPP government together with the executives were thinking like Kennedy Agyapong, bet me, NPP could easily have broken the 8, unfortunately the current leadership both in government and party only want the benefits, they don't have the party at heart. Check John Mahama's visits to the regions and that of Akuffo Addo even as a president, if your brains are working, fear will grip you as an NPP member. Coming events cast their shadows.
I hope NDc is listening to the confessions and revelations.
