Npp presidential primary: kennedy agyapong has all the right answers on ghana, but can he truly deliver as president.

As per the prognosis of Western-oriented experts and theorists, democracy and freedom of choice are expected to guarantee the well-being of the general citizenry and promote economic growth and development for the state.

Going by that definition, the vast majority of Ghanaians should by now have found themselves out of the morass of excruciating poverty, economic inequality, nepotism and widespread corruption, having enjoyed democracy and freedom of choice for over a generation now.

This gap between the theory and the reality in Ghana in the last thirty years undoubtedly brings to the fore some excitement among many Ghanaians when they listen to the political messages of Kennedy Ohene Agyapong in his campaign trail for election to lead the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) for the 2024 presidential elections.

To sum up, Kennedy Agyapong has effectively distanced himself from the Akufo-Addo-Bawumia government he tirelessly worked to enthrone in 2016 and with revolutionary rhetoric (some say electoral populism) is promising an unprecedented economic transformation through industrialization while bemoaning the continuous reliance of the country on the International Monetary Fund, despite the abundance of natural resources.

Thus, if elected the president of Ghana, the NPP presidential aspirant in his anti-establishment electoral strategy, promises to leverage his vast experience as a successful businessman to transform the Ghanaian economy while simultaneously working to conscientize the nation and the general population on his key transformative values of Patriotism, Honesty and Discipline (PHD).

Despite the reminiscence of past unfulfilled promises by Ghanaian politicians since 1992 and the well-known tendency of politicians to use deception, propaganda and lies as instruments of acquiring and retaining power, the Assin Central Member of Parliament (MP) certainly sounds convincing particularly given his habitual frankness and no-nonsense approach towards public discourse.

He brings fond memories of revolutionaries like Kwame Nkrumah in the 1950s and 1960s, and Jerry Rawlings in 1979 and 1982 and other politicians in the fourth republic such as the current National Democratic Congress (NDC) General Secretary, Fifi Kwetey and the good old Dr Tony Aidoo of the NDC.

Consequently, while I am not in a position to personally doubt the sincerity of Hon. Agyapong in his persistent promise on the campaign trail and in the public sphere to transform the nation’s economy, there is the need to point out that, when it comes to the question of development and economic transformation of a developing country like Ghana, there is more to it than meet the eye.

This is because we live in two different and often conflictual worlds: the real world and the ideal world. These dichotomous positions explain why Nkrumah could not achieve his desired objectives of total decolonization and the structural transformation of the economy, the polity and the society, despite overwhelming evidence of his good intentions and maximum efforts, especially after 1960.

This also explains why Jerry Rawlings, despite his initial revolutionary rhetoric and good intentions in both 1979 and 1982 on the direction and transformation of the Ghanaian economy and society quickly abandoned his plan for some form of controlled or command economy in the early days of the Provisional National Defence Council (PNDC) and made what is often called the ‘U-TURN’ and accept the most wide-ranging IMF neo-liberal economic policies.

These policies under the so-called Economic Recovery Programme (ERP) achieved some successes in stabilising and growing the economy in the short to medium term but also laid the foundation that has now entrenched and almost institutionalized the debt-austerity cycle that characterised economic management in Ghana. Therefore, it is important to raise the relevant questions and the likely challenges that come with the promises being offered to Ghanaians by Kennedy Agyapong as he seeks to be elected to lead the NPP in the 2024 general elections.

One likely challenge that Kennedy is going to face if he becomes the president of Ghana in 2025 is the question of investment capital, particularly when the Ghanaian economy has been ceaselessly shackled with a huge debt burden and fiscal crises year after year. Nkrumah faced this challenge of investment capital when he launched his economic transformation and industrialization programme in the early 1960s.

The challenge in raising the needed capital, particularly from international sources for ambitious industrial projects is compounded by the almost unwritten convention in the global north since the end of colonialism that countries of the global south should remain producers and exporters of raw materials and consumers of finished products from other parts of the world.

Therefore, this challenges the abilities of countries like Ghana to attract huge investment capital and modern industrial technology in other sectors of the economy apart from the primary sector such as mining, timber, oil and gas, and cocoa, among others. What is more, for some strange reasons, negotiations over the years between our political leaders and the bureaucracy on one hand and foreign investors or owners of global investment capital in the primary or extractive sectors have resulted in Ghana almost surrendering these natural resources for these multinationals for free.

Successive Ghanaian political leaders selfishly prioritized support for themselves, their government, their political ambition, friends, and family members from these foreign investors and the foreign governments and institutions supporting them overworking and sacrificing for the interest and the sovereignty of the totality of the Ghanaian people and the Ghanaian state.

To add to this problem, some personnel from our bureaucracy in charge of some of these negotiations and technical support for our governments are actually engaged or are receiving their monthly salaries and allowances from foreign entities in Ghana who have direct or indirect connections with the foreign investors in the primary sector of our economy, particularly mining and oil and gas sectors. This problem is multi-faceted and cannot be exhausted in this short essay.

One other problem that Kennedy’s promised economic transformation agenda is certainly going to face is the partisan, divisive and acrimonious nature of our politics and the society and I strongly doubt whether Kennedy Agyapong’s promise of inculcating his transformative values of Patriotism, Honesty and Discipline (PHD) can cure this problem within four or even eight-year mandatory electoral tenure.

Political acrimony, ethnic divisions, as well as the personalization of public office have permeated almost all facets of our lives to the extent that when NPP is in power, all NDC members are seen as enemies and have very little if anything to contribute to the economy and vice-versa. Moreover, in many instances, the ruling party is always scheming to destroy or undermine the businesses, careers and jobs of members of the opposition and make their lives generally discomforting while members of the opposition are also always waiting and angling for the failures of the government for them to take over and repeat the behaviours of their predecessors.

Consequently, given the strong support of both political parties among Ghanaians, at any time, almost half of the population is working for the down fall or failure of the government of the day and by extension the state. This zero-sum game is particularly alarming when unlike other countries, Ghanaians see everything within partisan political and ethnic lenses. In fact, in many circumstances, intra-party animosity and rivalry is even more lethal than inter-party acrimony, particularly when you have two strong ethnic, ideological, personal, and political and group interests competing for total dominance and control of the parties.

Closely related to this problem is the lack of consensus among Ghanaian leaders on the strategic long-term direction of the country, resulting in successive governments abandoning important public investments and developmental projects initiated by their predecessors under various pretexts. In simple terms, this country has been managed by successive governments since 1992 in a fire fighting mode with no planning, no direction and no destination.

Ken Agyapong’s promise of building industries to transform the Ghanaian economy also comes with the question of whether those industries are going to be state or privately-owned. The problem of mismanagement of state-owned enterprises since the era of Kwame Nkrumah and the tendency of Ghanaian politicians and public officials in charge of those industries to divest them and their assets to themselves, their families and their cronies is evident to Ghanaians throughout the history of the nation.

Other challenges such as the nation’s inability to properly align the educational sector with the economy is likely to undermine any plan of long-term economic transformation. While the Free Senior High School (SHS) programme was an important policy, our failure to have a good balance with science, mathematics, technical and vocational education and produce capable manpower for the economy has rendered untenable any promise of economic transformation.

Paucity of modern technologies, laboratories, communications and workshops for practical learning across our educational institutions have led to the mass production of science, technical and engineering professionals who are only good in theory and almost zero at practical abilities.

Finally, an important aspect worth considering in this discussion is the leadership abilities of Kennedy Agyapong as a potential president of Ghana, because this is key to the attainment of any developmental objectives. Some, including in academia have poured cold water on the leadership capabilities of the Assin Central lawmaker given what they described as his limited educational background.

While it is desirable and an added advantage for a potential president to acquire higher educational certification including university degrees, I do not believe that people who do not have higher educational qualifications but have other important skills and abilities such as business experience, common sense, managerial competence and other technical capabilities cannot become good national leaders.

So, for me, in the case of Kennedy Agyapong, the problem is more with his emotive and knee-jerk responses and reactions to public issues and debate rather than his educational background, because in fairness, he has far more other capabilities that can offset the perceived educational deficiency.

As an MP, the impact of that may be negligible, but as the commander-in-chief of the armed forces, there may be instances where that emotive and knee-jerk posturing can create serious problems of national security and political stability, which can obviously negate any good intentions or plans of transforming the country.

Kennedy Agyapong Never Took Any Unexpected Turn, Mr. Ntarkurfah the Threepence

Reading Ebenezer Ato Ntarkurfah Jackson’s brief but grossly and scandalously misguided opinion piece titled “Kennedy Agyapong’s Unexpected Turn” (Modernghana.com 6/18/24), I kept literally falling off my chair and wondering where the author, who seemed to be very proud of his Half-Ivy Cornell University MBA Degree and Education, had been over the past two and a half decades that the publicly self-proclaimed hardnosed “Business Investor” and New Patriotic Party (NPP) stalwart has been shamelessly plying his trade of brazenly mixing humongous profit-making from NPP-government awarded contracts with Wall Street type of predatory entrepreneurial verve and zest. Mr. Ntarkurfah publicly identifies himself as an “elite insider,” so there is absolutely no reason for a veritable entrepreneurial illiterate like Yours Truly to pretend to lecture a heavyweight like “Mr. Threepence,” if I remember my childhood familiarity with Ghanaian Cedis and Pesewas accurately, here.

You see, the first shocker that any critically thinking reader of Mr. Ntarkurfah Jackson’s article is rudely confronted with is the very notion that, somehow, patently outrageous allegations made by the Assin-Central New Patriotic Party’s Member of Parliament against both Vice-President Mahamudu Bawumia, the widely presumed Next President of our beloved Sovereign Democratic Republic of Ghana, and the very political party establishment on whose ticket Candidate Kennedy “Akom-Prigozhin” Ohene Agyapong was fiercely battling Vice-President Bawumia to represent the New Patriotic Party in the December 2024 Presidential Election, recently, were actually forensically proven facts. Now, that is how scandalously naïve and intellectually fluffy the critic and author of the afore-referenced opinion piece and his ilk come off to even the most casual and non-college educated reader.

And by the way, Yours Truly labels Cornell University as a “Half-Ivy” institutional establishment because historically, part of the latter well-respected and academically selective Ivory Tower establishment is also part of the State University of New York (SUNY) System, and what is called a Land-Grant Academy. I also personally have had at least a couple of my former Community College Students accepted by Cornell’s Undergraduate College as Transfer Students.

Now, what is both interesting and forensically instructive to highlight here is that unlike the allegations pertaining to the bribery and the corruption of party superdelegates made by Candidate Agyapong against the man who decisively trounced the proprietor of the Oman Media Communications Network, allegations of the bribing and the corrupting of party delegates of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), made by the opponents of the twice-defeated, one-term former President John “I Have No Classmates in Ghana” Dramani Mahama have nearly, each and every single one of them, proven to be forensically sustainable in any legitimately constituted court of judicature in the country, including the widely publicized embezzlement of the so-called Transportation Allowances forked up by the 2024 Mahama Presidential Campaign, conservatively estimated to tally at approximately GH₡50 million, excluding ginormous payola packages parceled out to those National Democratic Congress’ stalwarts who facilitated the deliberate rigging up of the party’s National Delegates Voters’ Register in favor of the publicly self-confessed bribe-addicted former President, that forced Dr. Kwabena Duffuor to withdraw from the party’s May 2023 Presidential Primary, by some Local and Regional Chairpersons, including the then newly elected Greater-Accra Regional Chairman of the National Democratic Congress.

Now, what is equally significant and interesting to spotlight here is that a soundly defeated Candidate Agyapong and/or his electioneering-campaign staff and operatives would later release press statements claiming that, in fact, like Candidate Bawumia, Candidate Agyapong had also “greased the palms of voting delegates,” and that Candidate Bawumia had decisively emerged the winner because his more formidable electioneering-campaign machinery and team had forked up more dole/dough to party delegates than had the Kennedy Agyapong Campaign machinery and team.

By the way, I often resist the temptation of writing rejoinders like the present one because most often these hip-shooting NDC hacks and paid propagandists are scandalously ill-informed on the subjects of their vacuously pontifical claims and allegations. You see, any Ghanaian-born resident and/or citizen of the United States who has been living in our beloved Mega-Union for as long as Yours Truly has or even more, is well aware of the fact that democracy is built on dollars and cents, as former President John “The Gentle Giant” Agyekum-Kufuor had on several instructive occasions in the past reminded democracy-loving Ghanaians about. Democracy does not thrive in the skies or in empty space. And absolutely no serious politician in any globally recognized and respected constitutional democracy can play it stingy like Nigeria’s former Candidate Peter Obi and be triumphant.

I personally happen to have met Peter Obi in the late 1980s, while I was a student of the late Prof. Chinua Achebe and an unofficial undergraduate student of Prof. Chudi Uwazurike, an old Achebe student from the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, and a Doctoral-Degree Graduate in Sociology from Harvard University. As well, the very notion of John Mahama and Prof. Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang being “the true path to a better Ghana,” tells the reader more about the politically clueless mindset of Mr. Ntarkurfah Jackson than anything else. It would be laughable if the proponent of such a farcical proposition did not seem to take himself too seriously than he really needs to. I mean, on what basis is this obviously Central Regional Micro-Nationalist making such a bogus and a downright clinically cretinous proposition? You see, “There is schooling and then there is education,” as my maternal grandfather, The Rev. T H (Yawbe) Sintim (-Aboagye), of Akyem-Asiakwa and the Presbyterian Church of Ghana was fond of saying.

Agyapong's indirect attack on the Electoral Commissioner of Ghana Charlotte Osei for, he alleged, trading sex for her position as the Electoral Commissioner (EC) boss brought upon him criticisms from various leaders including Queen mothers and human rights activists as well as other members of parliament. In 2018, following the arrest of Ghana Football Association president Kwasi Nyantakyi, he said that anti-corruption investigative journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas should be stopped before he started investigating people in their "bedrooms whilst asleep". He has repeatedly threatened Anas and was condemned internationally by the Committee to Protect Journalists and Reporters Without Borders he stated that Anas' methods were 'unfair'. Speaking live on Adom FM on 4 June 2018, he called Anas "a blackmailer, an extortionist", mimed his throat being cut and said he should be "hanged." He also called for "retribution" against Anas' fellow reporter, Ahmed Hussein-Suale , saying "If he comes here, beat him... Whatever happens, I'll pay." Hussein-Suale was subsequently assassinated.

In July 2018, he was cross examined for contempt of Parliament.

In 2008, Agyapong had an unsuccessful bid to be Presidential flag-bearer of his affiliated party, the New Patriotic Party, losing out in the first round. The party's elected flag-bearer however lost the election. In opposition, he criticized heavily the then National Democratic Congress government on various media platforms and found himself detained by presidential order of John Evans Atta-Mills, an occasion which sparked unrest on the political scene of Ghana. He had made comments which the then head of state found threatening. Many have pointed out that his comments on that occasion only pointed out the injustices to which members of the opposition party, particular market women, were subjected in parts of Accra when they turn out and tried to vote within certain constituencies.
