Kennedy Agyapong Criticizes Rivals Over IMF-Centered Economic Vision
New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer hopeful, Kennedy Agyapong, has criticized rivals in the party’s leadership race, arguing that any economic vision centered on International Monetary Fund (IMF) negotiations is a sign of failure. In a post on X (formerly Twitter) on September 6, Mr. Agyapong described Ghana’s repeated reliance on IMF bailouts as evidence of weak leadership. “You want to lead Ghana, yet your main concern is who can negotiate best with the IMF? Let me be clear: If your vision for Ghana starts with a trip to the IMF, you have already failed,” he stated. He emphasized his goal of building a self-reliant economy strong enough to render the IMF irrelevant.
