Kennedy Agyapong, has a way of ruffling feathers to attract attention to himself. Anytime, he raises objection about any deal, as far as the New Patriotic Party (NPP) government is concerned, it is not an expression of love for the country, but because he was denied the contract.
The man has mastered the art of blackmail, he has criticized everyone, and every political party in this country, yet he has benefited more than any single individual, since he joined mainstream politics, when he was elected in 2000 to represent the people of Assin North Constituency in the Central region.
Kennedy Agyapong, has had more than his fair share of the proverbial national cake. He is the single largest supplier of electricity poles to the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG).
When the NPP assumed the reins of power, he wanted an existing contract, Margins, had with the National Identification Authourity (NIA), given to him. When the deal did not materialize, he was all out in the media, accusing Ken Attefuah, of corruption.
Greed cannot even aptly describe the man, who thinks he is smarter than the 25 million Ghanaians.
Yesterday at Parliament, answering a question from the National Democratic Congress (NDC) MP for Ashaiman, Ernest Norgbey on the method of procurement in the award of a ¢100 million contract to imperial world ventures for the supply of streetlights., the minister of Energy, John Peter Amewu, indicated that no law had been breached in awarding the contract on the basis of restricted tendering.
The humongous amount is tells a reprehensible tale of graft and insensitivity to the plight of ordinary Ghanaians, who pined away in penury and deprivation, while a few corrupt individuals with access to the invaluable resource have a field day.
Imagine some other Ghanaian, had won this contract, what Kennedy Agyapong would say, the unprintable words he would use on the person and the government or sector minister.
We find disturbing Kennedy Agyapong’s, misplaced swagger of authourity, even when he is eating with both hands.
Commenting on Adom FM on Tuesday, on the US$12million contract the government of Ghana, has signed with Zipline to enable government fly blood and other health essentials to deprived areas, Kennedy Agyapong said “What we desperately need are drones that can be flying common sense to all those at the Jubilee House”.
According to him “First things first; before you take the drone to deliver the drugs, you need to check the quality of the drugs and the facilities or the hospitals. I think it’s not a priority. Until we have state of the art hospitals, clinics and polyclinics that can deliver and prevent us from travelling outside for healthcare, then the drones are not a good idea,”
By this same logic, are all the roads in good shape, before his wife’s company is given 100 million Ghana cedis contract to provide street lights?
Such pretensions as if he cares for the country, can only be diversionary intended to create the impression that he is not part of the create, loot and share, when the contrary is the case.

what writer is saying is that if this contract has gone to any other person than wife of KENNEDY AGYAPONG he will criticized, and it is true he is self centered person, everything is about him and nobody else. he is the most greed person in ghana
The wife did same work under ndc, because ndc try to cancel the contract and they realise the state own them huge amount of money so they rather gave them more contract to supply electrical materials to the state, this is not news unless you don't know, the man has always says he doesn't need small contract and they should give small contract to the new mps
I must say this is Critical and fair analysis of the mans greed and hypocrisy. How can such a contract qualify for sole sourcing? Just take tine to look at grounds for soke sourcing in the procurement law. Its a shame the way both political parties abuse and rape the procurement law provisions on sole sourcing.
The article boldly fits into what this Honourable stands and acts for.Sure,what he does is nothing but blackmail.We are wiser now,so he should be told.
Shame on peacefm. Am sure Kwame sefa is part of this ***barred word*** article
