In the midst of the controversy surrounding the ailment of Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, maverick Member of Parliament for Assin Central, Kennedy Agyapong has stated that he was not privy to the Vice President’s situation until Yofi Grant, Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Investment Promotion Centre (GIPC) told him that the second gentleman of the land collapsed.
It was reported in the Herald newspaper that Mr. Agyapong, who was in London to attend a memorial service of Joseph Ayi Ankrah, father to Ray Ankrah, the Financial Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the United Kingdom (UK) tried to visit Dr. Bawumia, but was not allowed.
While refuting the claims by the newspaper, the legislator said he did not visit the said hospital, to talk of being prevented from seeing Dr. Bawumia, adding that he was on a shopping spree.
But chiding the outspoken NPP leading member, the host of Badwam stated that it was out of place for Mr. Agyapong to be shopping while the Vice President had been hospitalised instead of visiting the latter.
Ken Agyapong however refuted the claim and noted that even if he was aware of the situation, it would not have been out of place to go shopping because Dr. Bawumia needed rest because he’s been working very hard.
