Kennedy Agyapong, MP for Assin Central, revealed that he was preparing to leave Parliament and focus on his affairs, which bring him a lot of money.

He revealed to Adom TV on Tuesday that he was under such pressure and that it would be prudent to make such a decision as he prepared to retire full-time from active politics, reports MyNewsGh.com.

Omanheheme Kwabena Asante, the host, asked him if he aspired to become president of Parliament, leader of the majority or minority. He replied "No! I want a better job to go and do and relax and you talk about being a speaker. President, they worry you every day … I'm not ready »

Pushed to admit he wanted to be a majority or minority leader at home, he rejected the question: "What do I want it to be. Young man, you want me to talk, but I will not say anything. I do my business and what do you say? I have no interest in anything … business is my priority, "he revealed on the show.

The new party of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), who spent nineteen years in Parliament, found that he had tremendous success in education within his constituency, stressing how much he was difficult to find people who can read and write when he became a member of Parliament.

According to him, he has made education a priority and builds schools, awarding scholarships among other interventions that have paid off as the region can now boast of hundreds of university graduates.

"Starting from the hypothesis, I realized that education was weak. Under the Kufuor era, we needed drivers proficient in English and mathematics, we could only get one. I made it a priority, I built school buildings and scholarships because it was difficult to get a university degree, but now you can see the number of schools and from hospitals that I've built in the area, as well as hundreds of university graduates, "he's touted.

He said, however, that it was time to say hello but that pressure was being exerted on him to reconsider his decision to challenge in 2020.
