Hon. Kennedy Agyapong, the MP for assin central is considered to be one of the most wealthy Ghanaians today.
Life was not always rosy for him and for the first time he has narrated how he moved from rags to richest in an interview he had with YFM.
In the interview, he disclosed that he was born and bred at Assin Dompem a village just a kilometre away from Assin Fosu.
In the year 1968, he had the ultimate chance to school in Kumasi to school in (that’s where he had his primary education) because his father was a teacher there.
Right from elementary school, he went to Adisadel College to further on. Growing up he never had a good time with his father as the last thing he would have to get slapped by his father.
Speaking on his real struggles he went through to become the man we see him to be today he said; after completing his senior secondary school education, he went to join his mother to sell on the streets.
He sold on the streets; wick (it’s used in lanterns) P.K chocolate, Robb etc…, From there he graduated into hawking on the streets selling led bags i.e used for manufacturing of local guns and aluminium buckets.
He added that he got the opportunity to travel outside the country to Germany by the help of his stepfather where he worked as a restaurant attendant.
He moved to the United states where he worked at a bakery and later as a gas station attendant.
