The National Organiser of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Henry Nana Boakye, has criticised former Anyaa-Sowutuom MP, Dr Dickson Adomako Kissi, over his comments regarding the composition of the party’s national executives.
Dr Kissi had argued that, unlike the National Democratic Congress (NDC), the NPP’s national executives lack parliamentary experience — a shortcoming he believes weakens the party’s strategic direction.
But Nana Boakye, popularly known as Nana B, described the remarks as misplaced during an interview on Adom FM’s Dwaso Nsem.
While acknowledging that the current executives may not have parliamentary backgrounds, he argued that they possess expertise from diverse professional fields, which makes them competent and capable.
“If Dr Kissi’s argument is anything to go by, was he ever an MP before his election in 2020?” he questioned.
“We need to be measured in our language. These same ‘experienced’ people he’s referring to have also lost elections before, so what exactly is his point?
“I was Deputy Director of the National Service Scheme, so I have experience in corporate governance. The General Secretary managed a huge institution like the Youth Employment Agency. John Boadu, for instance, was never an MP but served successfully as General Secretary — with a wealth of experience across various party roles. We in the NPP have our own unique strengths too.”
