Hon. Kennedy Agyapong, Member of Parliament for Assin Central, has expressed his unhappiness with the Akufo-Addo government’s decision to seek an IMF bailout.
While addressing at the present NPP National Constituency Officers Welfare Workshop in Koforidua, he made reference to how he classified the Mahama government as a failure for going to the IMF.
The NPP legislator recalled saying that any party seeking backing from that institution will fail.
He stated that he didn’t know what to say after his party did the same thing as the NDC, and that going to the IMF is the same as handing over power to the opposition NDC without a struggle.
“It’s like turning over power to the NDC without a fight, right immediately, because of the noise we created, and I’m chewing my own words when I say the NDC went to the IMF because of economic mismanagement.” So, what would I say if NPP goes to the IMF? So breaking the 8 will be difficult.
“My message to you is straightforward; you cannot read my lips, and I am not afraid of anyone in the party; I will tell you the gospel truth: those who lead you to the IMF cannot break the 8,” Kennedy Agyapong stated.
