A picture that went viral on social media has sparked conversations among internet users, many of whom are questioning the lengths to which politicians are willing to go in order to gain power.
In the past, there were politicians who would stir banku, others who would pound fufu, and still others who would board trotro and do things that they normally wouldn’t do but for the fact that they were politicians.
Kennedy Agyapong, who represents the constituency of Assin Central in Ghana’s parliament, can be seen in a photo wearing a white apron and holding a serving tray while he distributes food to attendees of an event.
Although the specifics of what happened have not been revealed, the photo appears to show one of the women in the picture carrying a takeaway box with food on a stretched-out tray so that she can pick it up.
Many people have been perplexed by the sight of the MP in such a state, looking all humble like a servant, because of the MP’s reputation for being a loud, no-nonsense man who lacks even a modicum of humility as a result of his statements and lifestyle choices.
Kennedy Agyapong is one of about eight people, including Vice President Bawumia, Alan John Kwadwo Kyerematen, and others, who want to be the leader of the New Patriotic Party in the 2024 elections.
