In an interview with Kumasi-based Angel FM monitored by MyNewsGh.com, the first time MP said the fact that he has been elected by the people to represent their interest in the country.

Some residents of Patasi who had their houses flooded following a heavy downpour of the world in their 2020s, and they have been unable to do anything about flooding situation because they are "deviant and have built on waterways".

"I'm not an engineer so they can not ask me anything about their roads because my intervention would be immaterial; they destroyed the road themselves so they should go to the Urban Roads Department; they can not do whatever they like in this country ", Hon. Kankam fumed.

The worried landlords in the area Kennedy Kankam to become their MP and have vowed to vote against him if dares stand for the post again in 2020.

The Assemblyman for the Patasi Electoral Area, Hon. Patrick Appiagyei who also spoke in an interview with Angel FM accused of the MP of hoarding his share of the Common Fund while his constituents are suffering.

The Nhiaeso Constituency is home to some of the most elite in society, having a lot of so-called "first clbad" communities, but ironically has some of the poorest roads in the Kumasi Metropolis.

A fortnight ago, residents of Ahodwo-Daban vowed to demonstrate against Hon Kennedy Kankam over the poor nature of their roads.
