Here’s the quick scoop: Kennedy Agyapong’s Afari Hospital remarks sparked a backlash inside the NPP, with the party publicly saying it was disappointed and later referring petitions about his comments to its disciplinary committee.

What he said

Public reports say Agyapong made claims about the Afari Hospital project that some NPP figures say were misleading or not properly verified. Richard Ahiagbah later said he may have been “wrongly briefed,” while former Deputy Defence Minister Kofi Amankwa-Manu rejected the claim outright as something that “cannot be true”.

What NPP members are saying

Different NPP groups and officials are reacting in very different ways:

  • Party leadership has expressed disappointment and moved the matter to discipline channels.
  • Some electoral area coordinators want him sanctioned, saying his conduct threatens party unity.
  • Another group reportedly wants him removed from the party immediately.
  • A smaller pro-criticism view says the party should take the Afari Hospital criticism seriously rather than dismiss it.

Current mood

Overall, the dominant tone inside the party appears to be criticism of Agyapong’s comments, not support for them. The dispute has now shifted from the hospital issue itself to whether his statements damaged NPP unity and whether the party should discipline him.

In one line

Agyapong’s Afari Hospital comments have triggered a serious internal NPP fight, with most responses so far calling for clarification, discipline, or sanctions.
