Kennedy Agyapong angry with Attafuah over NIA contract

Kennedy Agyapong angry with Attafuah over NIA contract
The Member of Parliament for Assin Central and
businessman, Mr Kennedy Agyapong is not happy with
how the National Identification Authority was
handling his application for consideration in the
printing of national identity cards.

He has consequently expressed his anger over the
decision to overlook his application for the
contract and rather go for another one from a
rival company.

To him, his offer for the contract was more than
50 per cent cost effective than what was being
offered by the rival company and does not
understand why the new acting Executive Secretary,
Professor Ken Attafuah was overlooking him.

Expressing his anger and imputing fraud in the
deal on Oman FM’s “Boiling Point” programme
on Tuesday night, Mr Agyapong said Prof Attafuah
has surrounded himself with NDC functionaries who
were advising him that he [Ken] was going to
sub-contract to some Indians should he get the nod
and that, they should rather go for the other
deal, which was wholly Ghanaian.

Interspersing his argument with insults on the
radio programme, he said on the day he brought the
Indians to the technical meeting, apart from
Professor Attafuah and one Charles Boakye, all
other persons at the meeting were NDC
functionaries.

He accused Mr Amadu Sulley, a deputy chairman of
the Electoral Commission who was part of the
technical committee at the meeting of spearheading
the decision to overlook his [Ken] application.

Mr Agyapong who was fuming with anger and was
determined to unleash more vituperative words
insisting that he was not scared of anyone and
would speak his mind was halted by the host of the
programme, Wofa Kwabena Kwakye.
