Kennedy Agyapong speaks about sister’s design role

In a video seen by YEN.com.gh, Kennedy Agyapong explained to a group of students that his sister played a pivotal role in the interior design for the launch of the Despite automobile museum.

In the speech meant to motivate the students, Agyapong recounted that his sister was not a brilliant student, yet managed to grow up to become a very successful interior decorator.

“My younger sister, Betty, when you tell her let's go to school, she will fall sick for over one week. She dropped out at elementary form three,” he said.

Agyapong added that despite her academic shortcomings, his sister recently provided the interior decoration for the launch of the Despite museum, indicating that struggling in school does not impede future success.

“Recently, when Mr Despite unveiled his new house with a museum, can you believe that the interior decoration was done by my sister, who never attended a university. The lighting and all that was needed was done by my sister,” he said.

Kennedy Agyapong to raise $7m for NPP

Previously, YEN.com.gh reported that Kennedy Agyapong pledged to support the NPP with $7 million if they would organise elections using the bottom-up approach.

Agyapong made the promise while speaking at the NPP Constituency Chairmen Caucus conference, held on Saturday, June 21, in Kumasi.

He said the party should stick to its election roster, which starts from the lowest level to the highest, rather than a proposed change to hold the Presidential primary first before the lower-level elections.
