“Who even gave me money, and in which account was it paid? Check all the bank accounts and see which of them were deposited. Or did I carry the money from Jubilee House?” he questioned.

Agya Koo’s remarks come in light of his recent appearances in the Ejisu Constituency, where he actively campaigned for the successful NPP parliamentary candidate, Kwabena Boateng.

Agya Koo was rejected by some Ejisu residents during the campaign period and heckled in Bonwire. In a video on social media, Agya Koo was seen in Bonwire standing next to a billboard with Kwabena Boateng’s picture.

However, residents expressed their dissent, stating their preference for Kwabena Owusu Aduomi as they accosted Agya Koo.

In the end, Boateng secured 55.8 percent of the vote, while Aduomi secured 43.3 percent.

Agya Koo also recently refuted claims that he kept money meant for Kumawood stars who supported Akufo-Addo in 2016.
