Outspoken New Patriotic Party Member of Parliament for Assin Central, Kennedy Ohene Agyapong has denied media reports that his wife has been awarded a juicy contract at the Energy Ministry through sole sourcing.
The Daily Post Newspaper, last week, reported that the Akufo-Addo government has awarded contracts to Mrs. Agyapong’s company to the tune of one million Ghana cedis through sole sourcing.
The Newspaper claimed documents in its possession revealed, Stella Wilson’s Imperial World Ventures, landed the GH¢100,260,000.00 contract through sole sourcing at the Ministry of Energy to supply 150W LED streetlights.
But Kennedy Agyapong told Adom TV Tuesday that the street light contract was not sole-sourced, adding that the contract went through limited tendering.
“My wife’s contract was not sole-sourced. It was a restricted [limited] tender. She qualified for it, the reason she was awarded. Those accusing her should desist from that because that won’t stop her from doing the right thing.
“That publication from that newspaper is a diabolical plan by the NDC to tarnish my image and that of my wife”, he said.
According to him, his wife [Stella Wilson] has already delivered 50 percent of the contract work even before the mobilization period, something he says calls for commendation rather than condemnation.
But a former Deputy Communications Minister, Felix Kwakye Ofosu commenting on the issue said the contract awarded Mr. Agyapong’s wife did not meet the criterion for which sole-sourcing is awarded.
According to him, sole- sourcing may be allowed when national security [non-economical] considerations are paramount.

This man is corruptfully subtle , cunning and tricky. He comes offensive to cover up his dirty deals. Nana and his ***barred word*** party should prepare their handing over notes, 2020 is just a blink away. This country is now like a family and friends business. Peace FM is used as a medium of peddling falsehood and propaganda. God is watching
Typical Ghanaian politician.***barred word*** man.You were vocal on anything the previous government did including similar issues.Now look at your shallow answers.You see your face.Fear politician indeed.

HUSBEE NO GET WIFEE GO GET.
tHE QUESTION IS, WAS IT SOLE SOURCED? Knowledge of that is critical is condemning the man. Does a contract like that qualify for soul sourcing? Are we getting value for money? Y'all stop just commenting without considering the intricacies of the matter. Our country deserve better than some of these pointless and inaccurate reportage and blame -games.
GHANAIANS, YOU TALK TOO MUCH. KEN WIFE IS TAX PAYER. 2SHE IS DOING PHYSICAL WORK 3 SHE IS USING GHANAIANS TO DO THE WORK.4 CREATING EMPLOYMENT. EX PREZ MAHAMA SENT ALL HIS MONIES TO DUBAI, PAY TAX AND CREATED EMPLOYMENT IN DUBAI. KENEDY AGYAPONG AND MAHAMA WHO IS USEFUL IN GHANA. IT IS THROUGH KENEDY WE HEARD THAT OF WAYOME, AKONFEM, AND ALL THE DUBIOUS CORRUPTION IN GHANA. DURING MAHAMA"S TIME.GOD BLESS KENEDY AND HIS WIFE. THEY NEED MORE CONTRACTS
Look I am NPP but he who comes to equity must come with clean hand. Kennedy Agyepong has accused everybody in this country of corruption, Prez Kufour, Rawlings, army generals, police chiefs, MPs, presidential staffers etc. One would have expected that he does what is right. Why should the supply of LED lights be sole sourced? Is it urgent? If your wife truly merits this then why wasn't it open up for competitive bidding? If Ibrahim Mahama had done this you would have been screaming fire and brimstone. Please stop portraying yourself as a selfless nationalist because you are also in this for your stomach. God is watching.
