Dr. Arthur Kennedy, a leading member of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) has described as unfortunate for a staunch party member to campaign against his own party to remain in opposition. According to him, in as much as he agrees with Kennedy Agyapong for an in-depth investigation into the alleged corrupt cases involving the party�s national chairman, Jake Obetsebi Lamptey, devoting such a huge amount to see the party in opposition should be turned out. The Assin Central Member of Parliament, Kennedy Agyapong has been hunting some national executives of the NPP to �vomit� some monies he personally gave to them during the 2012 election. Ken also called Jake Obetsebi-Lamptey and his cohorts thieves for keeping lots of motorbikes and other materials he personally imported for the NPP�s 2012 campaign. According to Mr. Agyapong, none of the current corrupt executives deserved re-election. The outspoken NPP MP in an interview with NEAT FM threatened to devote US$20 million towards forming his own party to dilute the NPP�s chances of regaining power in the 2016 elections, if the current crop of leaders are retained their positions. But speaking to Asempa FM from USA, Arthur Kennedy opined that, �I don�t agree with Kennedy Agyapong. If you are in a party and you campaign for your candidate and your candidate loses you don�t have to leave. What he (Ken Agyapong) said was wrong...and I will personally talk to him not to do that�. Adding that, �It is the interest of Jake and the others that we know the truth because the NPP don�t want to have somebody who is a thief as our national chairman or leaders. Jake should clear the air�. Nonetheless, he warned whoever wants to see Kennedy Agyapong exit the party to be cautious. �Nobody is bigger than the party but we should also know that we are dealing with humans in the party�.
