In a video shared on X, she narrated that her son gained admission to the University of Ghana Medical School (UGMS), but she could not afford the GH¢22,000 admission fee.
She explained that they met Kennedy Agyapong when only three days were left before the admission deadline. However, the politician and businessman paid the fees, enabling her son to enrol and eventually become a doctor.
“Through Kennedy Agyapong’s help, my son has become a doctor. My son gained admission to the University of Ghana, but I had no hope, so I prayed to God for help. We went to meet Ken Agyapong, and he enquired about my constituency and my son’s documents. After going through the admission letter, he called my then MP, K.T. Hammond, to inform him of my son’s financial challenge. K.T. Hammond did not say anything comforting to us.
“My son needed GH¢22,000 for his admission fees. When we met Ken Agyapong, only three days were left before the admission closed. Ken Agyapong asked my son to text him. My son sent the message, and he responded by sending the money the following day so he could pay the fee,” she added.
The woman praised Kennedy Agyapong for his benevolence. The former MP is currently campaigning across the country in his bid to become the 2028 flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP).

"When systems delay, humanity must act. Three days remained. GH¢22,000 stood in the way. Kennedy Agyapong stepped in, and a doctor rose. Thank you so much, Hon Ken."
@BraPhile said:
"Before the 2024 elections, Bawumia toured sick beds with cameras and promises for optics. We’re still unsure who was helped. In contrast, Kennedy Agyapong quietly paid a GH¢22,000 medical school fee. Real impact doesn’t need a cameraman."

"So because of that we should vote for him?🤣🤣🤣🤣."
@PhilipsBrown4 said:
"As a citizen, I see so many humanitarian interventions from his end. For me, he is not presidential material based on his ill-media archives. If Hon Ken had demonstrated a little tolerance in the media space, he would been a perfect match to counter NDC. So sad!"
