Kennedy Agyapong
Member of Parliament (MP) for Assin-Central, Kennedy Agyapong, has denied promising to pay GH¢5,000 each to five renowned Ghanaian highlife musicians every month.
It was reported that five veteran hiplife musicians — AB Crentsil, Nana Kwame Ampadu, Jewel Ackah, Obuoba J. A. Adofo and C. K. Mann — were promised an amount of GH¢5,000 each as monthly salaries from the benevolent legislator.
The reports claimed that Mr Agyapong said the action was part of his package to the development of music in Ghana.
But speaking on Adom TV’s Badwam programme, the politician disclosed that there was a miscommunication between him and Bice Osei Kuffour (Obour). According to him, he rather promised to pay GH¢1,000 each to the renowned musicians, an amount which will sum up to GH¢5,000 for the five musicians.
“I think there was a miscommunication somewhere. I met Obour at Flagstaff House last night and told him my GH¢5,000 is ready but the issue is that I never promised to give each of them GH¢5, 000,” he said.
