Boakye Kyeremateng Agyarko, a former Minister of Energy, has kicked against any future appointment under the Akufo-Addo-led government following his dismissal as a minister in August 2018. “I am pursuing my own presidential ambition, for which a lot of people kicked against right from the beginning. I’m I not deserving of being the flagbearer of the NPP?” the 66-year-old first Energy Minister under the Akufo-Addo’s government quizzed. BackgroundIn August 2018, Boakye Agyarko was dismissed by President Akufo-Addo following revelations that the renegotiated AMERI deal was fraught with corruption. “The President wishes Mr Boakye Agyarko well in his future endeavours,” this was contained in the letter issued to sack Boakye Agyarko.
