New Patriotic Party flagbearer hopeful, Kwabena Agyei Agyepong has stated that he would have shown a strong opposition to the large size of President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo’s government if he were to be a part of the party’s national executives at the time they won power.
According to him, he would have opposed the size of government in his capacity as general secretary.
“If I were general secretary at the time we won power, there are certain things I would advise against; like the size of the government,” he told Kwasi Parker Wilson of Oyerepa TV in an interview.
Ahead of the 2016 general elections, Kwabena Agyepong was removed as NPP’s general secretary on the basis of defying national council directives and seeking to undermine the then-flagbearer of the party, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.
Having been recently reinstated in the party, Kwabena Agyepong has filed to contest the party’s flagbearership and is among ten candidates approved for the contest.
The party is scheduled to host a special delegates congress on August 26, 2023, to reduce the number of candidates from 10 to five before proceeding to a general delegates congress on November 4, 2023, to elect their flagbearer for the 2024 elections.

Just calculate the amount being spend on them , huge amount of coupons for petrol , electricity and water bills unlimited , health bills , house allowance , cloth allowance , other bills including bola , other allowances including house help , daily food stuff etc. In Addition a lot do not pay taxes ,they have a lot tax waivers and has a lot of advantages . See the amount they will spend on them even at this hard times . So these goes with increases in taxes apart from paying the loans of Ghana . Like what we saw in Cecilia Dapaa all of them, have parked and parking money . With this system government demoAutocracy , citizens are force to pay their taxes . We pray to have a good democratic government where power will belong to the people .Where the people will have power to reject MPs within a year when they are not working for the people. Where IGP, Judiciary , auditor general , EOCO , Directors of government instructions , etc will be appointed by the President but by voting by the heads. Where corruption will reduce , development every where and the people will be out of poverty.
