Kennedy Agyapong, the former Member of Parliament for Assin Central, has once again demonstrated his commitment to community support through a generous act of philanthropy. During a recent visit to Ahafo Goaso, Agyapong gifted roofing sheets and GHC7,500 to Mr. Francis Manu Dankwah, a visually impaired elder of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), to assist him in completing his house.
Agyapong’s gesture came after he received a heartfelt letter from Dankwah, who lost his sight to glaucoma but remains a devoted supporter of the NPP and is determined to finish his home. Moved by Dankwah’s request, Agyapong took immediate action, announcing his support publicly on X (formerly Twitter).
“One of our loyal party elders, Mr. Francis Manu Dankwah, lost his sight to glaucoma but never gave up on finishing his home. All he needed was a roof,” Agyapong stated in his post. He elaborated on his commitment, saying, “During my visit to Ahafo Goaso, he handed me a letter asking for help. I responded with 5 packets of roofing sheets and GHC7,500 to get it done. Leadership is not talk, it’s action. Let’s step in when it matters.”
The news of Agyapong’s generosity quickly spread across social media, eliciting an outpouring of gratitude from Ghanaians who praised his compassionate response to personal needs. Many highlighted this act as a reflection of his character and dedication to helping those in his community.
However, the act did not escape political scrutiny. While numerous supporters hailed Agyapong as a proactive leader, some critics argued that his focus on charity should not overshadow the need for clear policies and developmental agendas, especially as election season approaches. They emphasized that voters are looking for comprehensive solutions rather than isolated acts of generosity.
Despite the mixed reactions, it is evident that Kennedy Agyapong’s willingness to address individual needs has distinguished him in Ghanaian politics as a figure who not only speaks about change but also takes tangible steps to implement it. His actions resonate with many who believe that true leadership involves both empathy and action.
As the political landscape continues to evolve, Agyapong’s approach may influence how constituents view their leaders and their responsibilities toward community welfare. For updates and more stories from Ghana, stay connected through our social media platforms.
