Kwasi Kwarteng, the spokesperson for the Kennedy Agyapong presidential campaign, has clarified the identity of the individual who allegedly benefited from a $500,000 AU Village house purchase and an additional $50,000 provided by Agyapong to support the acquisition of office space.

Speaking on UTV on December 16, 2025, Kennedy Agyapong alleged that he had purchased a $500,000 house for an individual who later insulted him, claiming he was not qualified to contest for the presidency because he could not express himself well in English.

The claim was initially linked to the former Member of Parliament for Abuakwa South, Samuel Atta Akyea.

However, in a subsequent interview, Atta Akyea denied ever benefiting from such support.

Responding to the denial, Kwasi Kwarteng, in an interview on UTV on December 17, 2025, clarified that Agyapong’s claim did not refer to Samuel Atta Akyea but rather to a former Member of Parliament for Adansi-Asokwa, Kobina Tahir Hammond (KT Hammond).

“What Ken said was not about Atta Akyea but rather KT Hammond. As a lawyer, you can’t miss due diligence. From what was said and what you listen to carefully, it was not Atta Akyea but KT Hammond,” Kwarteng stated.
