Sacking Ken Agyapong will not be in the best interest of the NPP - Kwasi Kwarteng

[00:00:00]social reaction about from some of the party communicators in the grassroots for a war social media now.

[00:00:09]You [snorts] get the feeling say for for most of them now You get you get that feeling from the reaction now.

[00:00:25]>> I'll be I'll be dishonest to say if I don't get that feeling.

[00:00:30]>> Yes.

[00:00:33]Okay.

[00:00:37]Mhm.

[00:00:44]I see.

[00:00:51]Yeah. Yeah.

[00:00:59]reconciliation But at the end of What is the consequence on the party? Do you have party people or traditional party people who are so much conservative about protecting the image of the party and who show concerns? What about also the ordinary Ghanaians? So let's even assume secondary was even wrong. That's an assumption. You will still need him. You will still need You will still need people that look up to him. And he instead of say Yeah, we are justifying who was right or who is not right. Why don't we sit down, say sorry to each other? Let's forgive ourselves and move on.

[00:01:40]Yeah.

[00:01:42]There's no reason if we had listened to him yesterday.

[00:01:53]Don't you think this is a man who is making an honest admission that this is what worries me. So, let's address it.

[00:02:01]>> Yeah, but he also said but Kanyama Yeah, cuz he on also Kanyama found confidential Sankofa Daniel knows why campaign. Why should it just be one-sided?

[00:02:17]>> Is that not the reason why I'm saying say this office a movement for reconciliation?

[00:02:22]>> Okay.

[00:02:23]>> And once again to invoking all dispute mechanisms and addressing them.

[00:02:28]Dispute mechanism is not one-sided.

[00:02:30]>> Mhm. Mhm.

[00:02:30]>> Reconciliation is not one-sided.

[00:02:47]>> Yeah.

[00:02:48]>> And to if other person also have concerns that this is not a thing.

[00:02:52]I mean, I'm one of the people that black The information and the report I had >> Mhm.

[00:03:06]>> What I say is one of his team members who misrepresented the facts.

[00:03:10]I even drew his attention.

[00:03:12]What I say is he obviously he's also a human being. He may have a stress and he was also may have his weakness just like any other person. But that is the whole essence of party building, party rebuilding, party reconciliation. We are not saying say he's only person that has been hurt.

[00:03:28]>> Sure.

[00:03:29]>> But we are saying say in a party like this, you know, when concerns are raised, we shouldn't be so dismissive about it. The party is run by human beings. The party is not run by robots.

[00:03:39]The party is not run by program computers. Oh, they are so mechanical.

[00:03:44]Even program computers make mistakes. AI sometimes can make mistakes depending on how you pump it. And he said party mean a member to me hurt the party now. The party which also run by human beings and not angels can also hurt a member. But would he be on radio and arguing forth and back and forth? No.

[00:04:02]Please, let's get it through.

[00:04:22]>> [clears throat] >> 2024 MPP will be doing 34%.

[00:04:37]>> Mhm.

[00:04:37]>> I know NDC with Muhammad will be doing 63%. Let's assume Muhammad will not even be going.

[00:04:48]percent.

[00:04:49]>> Yes.

[00:04:49]>> So, why do you think say as a moment like this, you know, we cannot forgive each other where irrespective of who is right or who is wrong and come together Who does it benefit?

[00:05:05]>> Mhm.

[00:05:05]>> [clears throat] >> I I get you a bit, but but I mean, knowing Honorable Ken like you do, do you think say and from how he spoke yesterday, you know, are you amenable to any form of reconciliation?

[00:05:26]>> Mhm.

[00:05:34]My personal view.

[00:05:35]>> Okay.

[00:05:43]>> Is this right after the contest?

[00:05:44]>> Yeah.

[00:05:45]>> Anything number, everybody could read any meaning into this.

[00:05:55]Mhm.

[00:05:56]>> I mean, as for the assembly, it was just an opportunity to say that MPP Daniels hold us to a higher standard. And then when we have an opportunity to finish a project, we should have finished. Other than that, when you question the NDC or criticize them, Daniels will fire at you crying about Kennedy ordinarily has always been criticizing both MPP and NDC. But the reason why that became an issue was because we have just moved from a very tense election. And that should presuppose that we should admit that all is not well. And if all is not well, what do we do? We need to provoke the reconciliation battles.

[00:06:29]>> Mhm. But but there is such a thing called anti-party conduct.

[00:06:36]Uh I mean even a simple dipstick survey a lot of more party members would have issues with the party. Would have issues. In fact, Nanseya polling station elections chrono ya titing same from a lot of polling stations.

[00:06:59]But but do you think they should all adopt the the honorable Ken approach? Then you guys will have no party. No.

[00:07:09]He's he's holding the party to ransom too much. And I've read a petition crying one of the young guys in the party in Accra said party no in taking it through the disciplinary process. You think that all of that any any necessary for now?

[00:07:28]Mhm.

[00:07:29]>> [clears throat] >> Yes.

[00:07:33]That's true.

[00:07:36]Absolutely.

[00:07:44]Yes.

[00:07:46]Yes. Yes.

[00:07:52]Mhm.

[00:07:54]Mhm.

[00:08:07]Okay.

[00:08:19]Mhm.

[00:09:02]Mhm. [clears throat] In fact, I mean I'm making this argument before 2016 elections and more paramount national chairman or general secretary, first vice chair, still I will win the elections and he honorable can can go and you can still win. I'm arguing and I don't know.

[00:09:49]>> Obi, it is it is not a reconciliation argument.

[00:09:53]And I mean for lack of better ways, if you ask me, uh it is not a wise conversation or argument.

[00:10:02]I didn't even make a sound.

[00:10:04]Considering the plan and the fast it presents and the dynamics that it presents, we are at a crossroads where we need numbers.

[00:10:13]Opa Muo Kwabena Tapong, chairman, at that time what was the mood of the nation?

[00:10:18]The mood of the nation before Abapa Muo Kwabena Tapong Kwah, the mood was telling say "We need a binder and open the news law."

[00:10:25]>> Mhm.

[00:10:25]>> Opa Muo Akufo, what was the mood of the nation then?

[00:10:28]Can you say the same mood today?

[00:10:31]Uh-huh? Can you say the same mood today?

[00:10:34]When you compare all the dynamics or knowing the indicators, can you say all the mood today?

[00:10:38]The mood today requires that the NPP needs to be united as one accord and as stronger as never before as compared to them.

[00:10:48]At that time, you know here, the season then was to demonstrate that we are a party that are we are very disciplined.

[00:10:54]This [clears throat] time around, there's no really about discipline. The dynamics is more on unity than discipline.

[00:11:00]And when you are focusing on a united dynamic, the conversation should also be a very softer. For me, if you ask me, those are my comments on it.
