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 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 Kwame Kwakye.

NO SOURCING IN THIS CONTRACT : THE PROCESS SHOULD INCLUDE PUBLIC ADVERT OF THE CONTRACT TO SEE WHAT THE COST/BENEFIT ANAYLYSIS BECAUSE KEN ATTAFUAH IS KROOKE AND THIFF ; COME ON KEN JUST EXPOSE THESE NDC THIFFS
Where is the procurement processes to be followed in this controversy. Both Prez & Vice promised Ghanaians a transparent and competitive procurement process in all govt procurement. For competition there should be open advert. Or it is overblown Sole Source/Restricted Tendering.
If his bid is cost efficient and will save the country money, he should be considered. I said considered not given the contract. At least now we see due diligence at work and contracts not being given randomly to party people. Good job!
KENNEDY OU ARE RIGHT,IF ONLY IT IS TRUE THAT PROF IS NOT FOLLOWING DUE PROCESSES. AS A GOVERNMENT AND AS A PARTY WE DON'T HAVE TOLERATE SOME OF THESE NONESENSE
Why? Because you are NPP, you should win contract. The professor just want to deliver, please leave him alone!
