Former Member of Parliament for Assin Central and 2024 NPP presidential candidate aspirant, Kennedy Agyapong, has donated GHC1 million to the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to help settle outstanding sala
ries and arrears owed to party workers.
Speaking at the party’s headquarters on Friday, April 25, Agyapong explained that he felt compelled to assist after hearing media reports about the party’s financial struggles, just four months after its recent leadership changes.
“It comes to challenge. It is not only NPP; it is every party — when they go to opposition, they face financial or resource challenges,” he said.
“So I came from Madagascar and I heard in the news that we’ve not been able to pay salaries and monies to workers. So I decided to come with my widow’s mite and contribution to help run the administration.”
The outspoken businessman and politician emphasised that the party’s inability to meet basic obligations like paying staff was unacceptable, especially at such an early stage in its reorganisation.
“It is sad that we just came into opposition four months ago and we cannot run the party — which I think is not good enough,” he stated. “So my message is simple: I have come this morning with my widow’s mite as a contribution to enable you to run the party.”
