Former Minister for Environment, Science, Technology and Innovation, Prof. Kwabena Frimpong-Boateng, has responded to accusations from the General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Justin Frimpong Kodua, who claimed he was deliberately seeking to tarnish the party’s image.
Speaking on Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen show, Prof. Frimpong-Boateng said, “I don’t know the General Secretary. I have never met him before, and I am just waiting for an official communication from the party.”
He continued, “Some people brought me statements from the General Secretary. He is very funny, and if he claims he is a lawyer, he should be careful. I don’t know when he became a lawyer or when he completed law school.”
Prof. Frimpong-Boateng also addressed allegations that someone had “contracted” him to make certain statements.
He described such claims as “very sad” and emphasized his consistency over the years, saying, “I have been very consistent. Whatever I have written or complained about the party over the years, I will bring it outside for everyone to read so they know I have been genuinely concerned.”
He added, “A party in which some people have suffered should not be destroyed by young ones. If they want to destroy it, they should quit, and the real party will start.”
The comments come after Mr. Kodua accused Prof. Frimpong-Boateng of calling the NPP a “fake party” and questioned when he reached that conclusion. Mr. Kodua alleged that the remarks were intended to create division and distract from the party’s internal primaries.
In response, the NPP has confirmed that it has invoked relevant provisions of its constitution to begin processes to expel Prof. Frimpong-Boateng.
This follows his statements on Accra-based Channel One TV on January 12, 2026, where he described the party as a “fake party” and stated he no longer considers himself a member.
