Kennedy Agyapong, a congressman from Assin Central, expressed unhappiness with the New Patriotic Party (NPP) administration’s choice to approach the International Monetary Fund (IMF) for assistance.

It will be challenging for the party to break its eight-year cycle, he claimed.

Because the NPP condemned the NDC government when they visited the Breton Woods institution, in his opinion, this amounts to giving over power to the NDC without a vote.

Mr. Agyapong, who previously stated that any party seeking assistance from the IMF will fail, after the NDC did so, said he is unsure of what to say now that his own party has made the same choice.

“It is just like handing over power to NDC without a contest, straight away because of the noise we made, and I chew my own words back when I said the NDC went to IMF because of mismanagement of the economy. So if NPP is going to IMF, what am I going to say? So breaking the eight is going to be tough.

“My message to you is simple, you cannot read my lips and I am not scared of anybody in the party, I will tell you the gospel truth, those who take you to IMF cannot break the eight,” he said at an on-going NPP National Constituency Officers Welfare workshop at Koforidua in the Eastern Region Friday.
