I Was A Kenkey Seller � K.T. Hammond

Former Deputy Energy Minister, K.T. Hammond says he is not ashamed to have hawked kenkey (a maize staple) as a child. The Adansi-Asokwa Legislator and British-trained Barrister, also said beside selling Kenkey, he also hawked salt for his mother. Mr. Hammond made the "proud" concession on Aempa FM�s Ekosii Sen political programme Tuesday, after he was confronted and taunted by his political arch-rival in his Constituency, Evans Amankwah during the programme. Mr. Amankwah called into the programme after Mr. Hammond insinuated that the Kumasi-based business man was fraudulently claiming he was a lawyer. After giving evidence of his law credentials, the former NDC Parliamentary Aspirant for Adansi-Asokwa then started to recount K.T. Hammond�s childhood history to show that he really knew what he was talking about. In a riposte, K.T. Hammond said he felt proud to have hawked kenkey and salt to help his mother while growing up in the Ashanti region.
