Rumour circulating in the media is that Hon. Kennedy Agyapong has
bought a Private Jet as he had promised himself, just like he did for
the Rolls Royces in 2010. We decided to go back 5
years ago and bring you the story of how he bought a Rolls Royce for
8billion old cedis and struggle he had with customs.

Following the purchase of the specially manufactured car, officials
of the Customs Excise and Preventive Service asked revenue agencies to
probe the source of NPP Member Parliament for Assin-North, Kennedy
Agyapong’s wealth.
Kennedy Agyapong drove off his nearly 8 billion cedis diamond black/silver Rolls-Royce Phantom
Saloon car manufactured by Rolls Royce Motor Cars in London, United
Kingdom from the Tema Port in May 2010. Port officials wondered how,
where and when the NPP MP got his money.
Mr. Agyapong paid the manufacturers whopping 249,708.00 pounds
sterling, that was equivalent of five billion, four hundred and ninety
three million, five hundred and seventy thousand old cedis at the time
for the vehicle.
The opposition MP paid two billion, one hundred and fifty four
million, ninety seven thousand old cedis as custom duty before the
lavish vehicle was cleared from the Tema Harbour by Fame Shipping Agency
Limited. The Value of the car and the amount spent on custom duty means
that the Ghanaian MP paid a total of seven billion, six hundred and
four million.
The car was made in 2010, under Mr. Agyapong’s strict instructions
and the amount spent to clear it from the port got some Customs
officials and other security agencies interested in the source of money.
The car was purchased at the time there were media reports that Mr.
Agypong’s media empire was crumbling as a result of his inability to pay
his workers’ salaries.
The custom made diamond black/silver car has SCA681S05AUX01690 as its
chassis number. Special features on the car included a short circuit TV
which tells the driver what the distance ahead is, a DVD changer, soft
leader upholstery among other features.
He registered the number KEN 50-10 to show that it was his 50th
birthday. Years on, in 2015, he confirmed that he took a loan to finance
that car and the loan had been paid as of 2015. He has also said
CUSTOMS and the IRS were head over heels with him trying to find a
loophole in his dealings but as hard as they tried, they could not find
any.
