The Member of Parliament for Nhyiaeso, Stephen Amoah, popularly known as Sticka, has criticised former Adansi-Asokwa Member of Parliament, Kobina Tahir Hammond, over comments questioning the source of wealth of New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer hopeful, Kennedy Agyapong.
The comments that sparked the controversy were sent via a text message by KT Hammond during a one-on-one interview with Sticka on Asempa FM on December 18, 2025, where he raised concerns about the origins of Kennedy Agyapong’s wealth as part of discussions surrounding the NPP flagbearership race.
KT Hammond’s remarks did not sit well with Sticka, who described the comments as unfair and inappropriate, especially given Hammond’s long-standing association with Kennedy Agyapong within the party.
Reacting to the interview, Sticka accused the former lawmaker of engaging in what he described as “hate speech” against the former Assin Central MP.

“Respectfully, KT Hammond, this is hate speech, how can you say someone should come and answer questions about how Kennedy Agyapong made his money?”
He questioned why Hammond, who has served as a minister and held senior leadership positions within the NPP, would raise such concerns publicly if he truly believed any wrongdoing had taken place.
“He has been a friend to Kennedy Agyapong. If Kennedy had stolen money before and KT Hammond has been a minister and a leader in the NPP, why did he sit down and not ensure that Kennedy was arrested?” Sticka asked.
Sticka further defended Kennedy Agyapong’s background, insisting that the outspoken former lawmaker rose from humble beginnings through legitimate means.
“What I know is that Kennedy Agyapong started as a poor, humble beginner, Kennedy has never done anything illegal because he has never been arrested before.”
“Have you heard of the NDC inviting or arresting Kennedy Agyapong before?” Sticka questioned.
According to the Nhyiaeso MP, Kennedy Agyapong has consistently supported the NPP and contributed significantly to job creation through his business ventures.
“All I know is that Kennedy Agyapong has been helping the party over the years and has opened businesses where many people are working,” he added.
