Kennedy Agyapong, a well-known politician and businessman from Ghana, claimed to own 257 homes there.
In an interview with the media, he said that a chance encounter with a young girl from Dubai served as the catalyst for his decision to engage in real estate.
Mr. Agyapong, who is also a candidate for the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) flagbearer position, recalled how the little girl suggested he put his money, which were originally earmarked for buying a private plane, in real estate.
He was first surprised by the insight of such a young person, but he finally accepted the advise, leading to the purchase of multiple homes not only in East Legon but also across the entire nation.
“Now I have established enough businesses, it was a young girl who advised. I actually deposited one billion to buy a jet. One day a lady came from Dubai, she was into real estates. She went with me and inspected some of the lands that I have.
“And she said honorable I am a young girl but I hear you want to buy plane and other things and these lands that you have, why don’t you use the money to develop it. In fact I felt so bad that this young girl gave me a smart advice, and I took her advice irrespective of her age, ” he added.
However, he has disclosed his intention to proceed with the purchase of a private jet after establishing a paint company.
” I have a paint company coming up, then I am done with that I will get a jet. My houses in East Legon is not up to 100 but other places put together are 257, for lands, I have them everywhere.
