Senyo Hosi blasts Kennedy Agyapong for calling farmers “fools” and turning around to promise farming
The outspoken Assin North MP is on record as having called wealthy people in Accra, who may be considering farming, fools!
Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Chamber of Bulk Oil Distributors and well-known social activist, Senyo Hosi, has reprimanded member of Parliament for Assin North constituency in the Central Region and New Patriotic Party (NPP) presidential candidate hopeful, Kennedy Ohene Agyapong, for insulting people who intend to pursue farming and yet, turning around to say he will feed the African continent through farmers should he be elected President.
The outspoken member of Parliament for Assin North is on record as having called wealthy people in the country’s capital, Accra, who may be considering farming, fools.
“If you make money in Accra and you tell me [Kennedy Agyapong] that you are going into farming, you are a fool. If you are going into farming, you would just be praying to God to make you poor and you will be poor” Kennedy Agyapong is on record to have stated in an interview on Joy News about a year ago.
In a post on his Facebook wall today 27 October 2023, Senyo Hosi expressed utter dismay at the claims by Mr Agyapong that in the event that he is elected president of the Republic, he will feed the entire African continent through Ghanaian farmers.
“Politicians never cease to amaze. We sure are gullible and small-minded, with an extremely short memory. Dear Kennedy, you call hardworking and daring Ghanaians who venture into agriculture FOOLS and turn around to now say Ghana will feed Africa under your Presidency? How do you wish to achieve that? By nurturing more fools?
“You have been a Parliamentarian and an extremely influential politician since 2001. How did you use that influence and voice to reshape policy and the Agric space to ensure Agric works for the Ghanaian? I am just reminded: you used your voice to call those who dared to help feed the Mother Ghana you wish to lead, Fools!” Senyo Hosi posted on his Facebook wall.
“I am happy to note that the Volta region is not part of your ‘azaa’ story. I am shocked you added Accra to your plans. Did you not plan to have us the Ewe and Ga people lynched? Oh, maybe it is to make our lands available for your plans. I am Ewe and Ga. M’awu, I die finish.
“I have had my challenges in agriculture, and I have learned many lessons. One thing I am certain about is the fact that agriculture is winnable but only with the right policies, many of which you could have influenced to make agriculture win. But your wisdom was only limited to discouraging and insulting and now you wish to lead who?” he added in his post.
“You called us fools but today, when you wish to be President, you say agriculture is the way, and we must be confident to venture into it. Look hard and all around you. There are only two fools here – you and you. I Pray those whose gullibility you feast on, wake up” Senyo Hosi further wrote on his Facebook page.

HEH! KENNEDY, GYAE RUFF! #ShowYourselfDown
I just came across an article on Citinewsroom.com and I nearly fell off my seat. Did Kennedy Agyapong really say, “If you vote me today or elect me as President of Ghana, I will use the five regions of the north, Afram and Accra plains to feed the whole of Africa”?
Politicians never cease to amaze. We sure are gullible and small-minded, with an extremely short memory. Dear Kennedy, you call hardworking and daring Ghanaians who venture into agriculture FOOLS and turn around to now say Ghana will feed Africa under your Presidency? How do you wish to achieve that? By nurturing more fools?
You have been a Parliamentarian and an extremely influential politician since 2001.

I have had my challenges in agric, and I have learnt many lessons. One thing I am certain about is the fact that agric is winnable but only with the right policies, many of which you could have influenced to make agric win. But your wisdom was only limited to discouraging and insulting and now you wish to lead who?
You called us fools but today, when you wish to be President, you say agric is the way, and we must be confident to venture into it. Look hard and all around you. There are only two fools here – you and you. I Pray those whose gullibility you feast on, wake up.
PS: Stop calling yourself some self-made business tycoon. Your wealth is rooted in public money and political patronage. The many fat contracts awarded you directly and indirectly from the times of Kufour to date for little gratitude and in response to your bullying and threats, made the you we see today. You are and would have been nothing but for the same NPP you wish to showdown with.
Show gratitude to those who have privileged you. If you wish to know who a true tycoon is, look for Kwabena Adjei (Kasapreko), Edward Effah (Fidelity), Ibrahim Mahama (Engineers & Planners), Dr. Ofori Sarpong (Special Ice), Togbe Afede, Tony Oteng Gyasi (Tropical Cable), Kofi Abban (RigWorld), Kwame Bamfo (Sikkens), John Osei-Wusu (JP), Dan Okudzeto (Allied Oil), Andrew Takyi-Appiah (Zeepay), etc.
Those who know, know. Massa, Gyae Ruff!
NB: I beg start showing up in court and stop running away from my case. Tell your lawyer to stop the delay tactics for as my Ga people will say, ‘kɛ okɛ oyaa Korle, oba ya’ (whether you like it or not, you will go into the Korle).
