Africa-Press – Ghana. <\/strong><\/span>The campaign team of an aspiring flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Kennedy Agyapong has described as baseless an allegation by former Member of Parliament for Suhum Frederick Opare-Ansah, that Mr Agyapong demanded a GHS500 million contract from fellow aspirant Dr Mahamudu Bawumia.<\/b><\/p>\n

They described Opare Ansah as a disgruntled person because Mr Ken Ohene Agyapong turned down his \u201cpersistent request to serve as his Campaign Manager. Although Opare Ansah now appears to support the candidacy of the Vice President, we know his first preference in this race was Hon. Ken Ohene Agyapong.\u201d<\/p>\n

A statement they issued said \u201cGHC500M Contract Allegations: Hon. Ken Agyapong, the dedicated presidential aspirant of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and MP for Assin Central has never sought the GHC500 million contract, nor has he made such a demand. There has never been such a discussion. We therefore challenge Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, on whose behalf the claim was made, to confirm WHEN and WHERE such a meeting occurred. The implication that Hon Ken Agyapong would engage in such behavior is utterly baseless.<\/p>\n

\u201cVisa Racketeering Clarification: Hon. Ken Ohene Agyapong has consistently spoken about how he leveraged the U.S. government\u2019s amnesty program and his personal contacts to help individuals to take advantage of the opportunity. That Amnesty program has given birth to the current Green Card Lottery, which continues to attract talent to the United States. That is a legal business and not a \u201cracketeering\u201d endeavor.<\/p>\n

\u201cSuperCare\u2019s Success: It\u2019s worth emphasizing that SuperCare, a business venture led by Hon. Ken Ohene Agyapong and Oppong-Bio, achieved notable success before the NPP came into power in 2000. This underscores Assin Central MP\u2019s excellence in, and commitment to entrepreneurship.<\/p>\n

\u201cFinancial Support to NPP: The contributions the two businessmen made in cash and kind are well documented, and were instrumental in the NPP\u2019s victory in the 2000 elections. Since then, Hon. Ken Ohene Agyapong\u2019s unwavering financial support, resource provision, and advocacy for the NPP are well-recognized. His dedication to the party\u2019s cause is undeniable, and it is evident in the support he provides.<\/p>\n

\u201cOpare Ansah\u2019s Contribution: While Opare Ansah may have his platform to express his views, it is essential for him to review why his support within the party has diminished culminating in his failure to retain his Parliamentary seat \u2013 a feat that Hon. Ken Ohene Agyapong has accomplished five times. Opare Ansah\u2019s abysmal performance in his bid to become the party\u2019s General Secretary should remind him of how party supporters value him.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe New Patriotic Party and its members deeply appreciate the commitment of all supporters. Hon. Ken Agyapong\u2019s dedication to the party\u2019s progress and his contributions are substantial. We encourage everyone to focus on the issues and policies that truly matter to the people of our great nation.\u201d<\/p>\n
