The outspoken member of parliament of Asin central.Hon. Kennedy Agyapong has
said that he has 147 houses in the country. He said he owns real estate properties in Accra,Tema and Kumasi. He said that he rented out the properties to fund a comfortable lifestyle.
“..Oh ,how, I rent them.. only a fool will occupy 147 homes…. Real estate, you don’t make that much money but it makes you comfortable….,” He stated this in an interview with Joy News.
Speaking on investment made, he said venturing into farming in Ghana is reserve for poor minded individuals. He advise the youth especially university graduate not to go into farming.
He said if you want to be poor, one of the business you have to look at engaging in the country is farming. He explain that whenever he hears people who are supposed to do something better for their lives say they are going into farming, he just laughs.
“When you wake up in the morning and you pray to God let me be poor, then you go into farming,” he said.
“I challenge the government; what are the inputs for you to go into farming? They are just talking. I’ve been there and I’m telling you, if i go to university, I will not go into farming. Hell no! he exclaim.
He said , “If you make money in Accra and you tell me you are going to farm.. I failed at farming not because of my management but because of litigation”.
He further cautioned businessmen and women not to establish business in the village because folks in the village are clever in terms of thievery.
“The moment you establish the business in the village, they think you are stupid (the villagers)…You think you are going to create job for them (but they think) you are stupid.” the MP said.
