"About 85 per cent of Ghanaian businessmen do drugs" - Ken Agyapong

Maverick Politician Kennedy Agyapong has alleged that most Ghanaian businessmen are drug dealers.

In his estimation, about 85 percent of indigenous businessmen are drug barons.

Ironically, Mr. Kennedy Agyapong, a successful businessman and a hothead politician of the opposition New Patriotic Party, is not insulated from the drug tag. For many years, Mr. Agyapong’s political opponents, particularly in the National Democratic Congress, have equally painted him as a drug dealer although none of his accusers have proven the allegations.
