Kennedy Agyapong, who just announced his intention to run for his party’s flagbearership and maybe become Ghana’s president, has made a serious promise concerning his future if Ghanaians elect him to lead them.
The stalwart and firebrand of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) has stated unequivocally that he will never accept a salary as President of Ghana.
“When I become President, I won’t draw salaries from the state…no, I don’t need a salary from the state because excuse me to say, I wouldn’t be able to pay ‘chop money’ or take good care of myself when I withdraw salaries from the state…,” he said recently on Net 2 TV.
In addition, when he becomes the country’s leader in the near future, the business mogul and anti-corruption advocate has stated that he will establish presidential scholarships for Ghanaian youngsters.
“I will establish what we will call a presidential scholarship with my salary. I mean my salary will be used to fund the scholarship for the poor but needy in society, especially in the rural areas…,” he added.
