Former Member of Parliament for the Bantama constituency, Henry Kwabena Kokofu
On this November 10, 2019, former Member of Parliament for the Bantama constituency in the Ashanti region, Henry Kwabena Kokofu, dismissed claims that he had been marginalized by the ruling New Patriotic Party.
The claim that Kokofu had been neglected by the Akufo-Addo government despite his contributions to the party’s victory in the 2016 elections, was made by the National Communications Officer of the Democratic National Congress (NDC), Sammy Gyamfi in a press conference.
However, the former MP refuted this claim in an interview with Accra-based Peace FM, saying that the president had given him two appointments since he took office from John Dramani Mahama.

Henry Kwabena Kokofu, a former member of Parliament for the Bantama constituency in the Ashanti region, has denied reports that the ruling government has been unfair to him when it comes to appointments.
The National Communications Officer of the Democratic National Congress (NDC), Sammy Gyamfi, reportedly stated at a press conference that although Kokofu worked hard to bring the government to power, he has not yet been given an appointment.
However, on Friday’s edition of the Peace FM morning show ‘Kokrokoo’, Kokofu denied this claim by insisting that President Akufo-Addo has given him two appointments.
“As we sit here, I am a member of the forestry commission board of directors, deputy director general of the Ghana Integrated Iron and Steel Development Corporation, so the NDC should do their research well because if you use me as an example , their debate collapses. It is incorrect to say that they have not given me an appointment, “he said.
