He informed Johnnie Hughes that Alan Kyerematen is also guilty of egregious economic mismanagement because he was a major member of Vice President Dr Bawumia's Economic Management Team.

"Kennedy Agyapong; is he the same man who called for the mass murder of Ewes and Ga’s and the man who brandished the photograph of Ahmed Hussein-Suale an investigative anti-corruption journalist on television and called for people to attack him and do him war for reward. Is he the same man who now wants to be president? The man who once said there are no wise men in the NPP? Is he the one they want to present as their candidate?"
He claims that in six years as Minister of Trade and Industry, Alan Kyerematen has accomplished nothing.
"What was the growth rate of the manufacturing sector we delivered to him and what is the growth rate now? When we delivered it to him in 2016, it was expanding at 7.9%, and when he departed, it was growing at 4.5%. There is a sudden massive drop, and if it is about Dr Bawumia, don't go too far," the National Communication Officer stated.
Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, former Trade Minister Alan Kyerematen, and Assin North Member of Parliament Kennedy Agyapong have been tipped as frontrunners in the ruling NPP's flagbearer campaign.
