A fiery political exchange has erupted after outspoken Ghanaian politician Kennedy Agyapong launched a sharp attack on the opposition Minority, accusing them of neglecting the Afari hospital project during their years in power.
In a blunt and combative statement that has quickly gained traction, Kennedy Agyapong questioned the Minority’s record on healthcare infrastructure, insisting they failed to make meaningful progress on the long-discussed Afari Military Hospital project during their eight-year tenure.
“You did nothing about Afari Hospital in 8 years,” he reportedly fired, in a remark that has intensified the already heated political back-and-forth.
The comments come amid ongoing debates about healthcare delivery and infrastructure development in Ghana, with both major political blocs frequently trading blame over stalled or delayed projects.
Supporters of Kennedy Agyapong’s position argue that the criticism highlights accountability issues in public infrastructure management, insisting that long-promised projects often suffer delays due to poor implementation during previous administrations.
However, critics of his remarks say the issue is more complex, pointing to funding challenges, administrative bottlenecks, and continuity problems that often affect large-scale public health projects regardless of which party is in power.
The Minority has yet to issue an official response to the latest comments, but political observers expect a strong rebuttal as the debate over healthcare infrastructure continues to dominate national discourse.
As tensions rise, the Afari hospital project has once again become a symbol of broader political disagreements over development priorities and delivery timelines.
