Member of Parliament for Assin Central, Kennedy Agyapong who recently went to the Us for a brain tumor surgery has treated himself to a brand new Mercedes Benz following the success of the surgery.
After having a successful brain tumor surgery in the United States, Kennedy Agyapong took it upon himself to replace one of his numerous cars by splashing over US$150,000 on a new Mercedes S-Class.
Conversing on Oman FM, he disclosed that he used the leftover cash from brain tumor surgery to acquire the vehicle, and the process he went through before getting the car has taught him lessons on the importance of paying taxes.
“My hospital bills in America had leftover funds so I decided to treat myself by buying a Mercedes Benz S-class… as I speak to you, I have paid 80,000 dollars in advance but I have yet to receive the car to pay the balance,” he said.
“What got me angry, I went there (to the dealership) and we arrived at 138,000 dollars plus tax of over 8.5% tax. The same tax you are refusing to pay here. Where in Ghana do people pay tax on car purchases?
After working the amount and tax, it came up to 151,000 dollars. They now told me to pay an extra 10,000 dollars because of scarcity and for their efforts to get me a car. I asked, ‘are you mad? Why did you not add it?”

Another sound from heaven is on earth, as over 2.8 billion podcast traffic (websites) are connected to “Kadosh” song by Gospel Minister Prosper Germoh.
Kadosh is an irresistible sound from Heaven that is an outpouring from a heart that has been at the place of waiting for eleven whole months now and this is just one of the songs from the album, “Eternal Echoes” an album that is inspired by the word of Prophecy for this year, “The Gathering Clouds
“Kadosh” is an Hebrew word that means “Holy” and I use it to describe my Lord Jesus Christ who is worthy of all my worship. You can find the Word, “Kadosh” in the Book of Revelation 4:8 and Isaiah 6:3
There is more to this song that words can not explain to the fullest.
Just after my nomination at The African Entertainment Awards USA
alongside big African song ministers like Sinach, Mercy Chinwo, Nathaniel Bassey, Frank Edwards, Ada Ehi, Deborah Lukalu, Tim Godfrey, Joe Mettle and Benjamin Dube, I started praying to God thanking Him for the great step and how far He has carried me and I also ask Him to give me songs that will lead billions around the world to worship Him for who He truly is and immediately, He dropped the album title, “Eternal Echoes” in my spirit. As I prayed further, the songs started budding out. Kadosh is just one of these songs in this album and so there is more that will introduce this new era and lead this generation into true worship to Jesus Christ the King.
Talking about “Kadosh ”, I received it in a vision around 5AM singing in a big program and had angels backing me up in that program and uncommon things were happening as the song was going on. I got both the full lyrics of the song and its melody. Jesus is Holy ,He is faithful and just.

Egypt are through to the final of the TotalEnergies Africa Cup of Nations after beating hosts Cameroon 3-1 on penalties at the end of a goalless 120 minutes in Yaounde on Thursday.
Goalkeeper Mohamed Abou Gabal was the hero for the Egyptians, saving from both Harold Moukoudi and James Lea-Siliki in the shoot-out at the Olembe Stadium before Clinton Njie blazed wide with Cameroon’s last chance to keep their dream alive.
Salah, usually the fifth penalty-taker for his country, was not needed as Egypt advance to a final showdown against Senegal at the Olembe Stadium on Sunday.
That will see Salah come up against his Liverpool teammate Sadio Mane, with the Pharaohs chasing a record-extending eighth African crown while Senegal continue their search for their first title.
Cameroon, meanwhile, see their hopes of AFCON glory on home soil ended in cruel fashion, and they must still get through a third-place play-off against Burkina Faso this weekend.
Cameroon captain Vincent Abubakar pass up a glorious chance to open the scoring early in the second half when a dreadfully short back-pass by Martin Hongla sent him clear.
After trying to knock the ball round Andre Onana, the Cameroon goalkeeper successfully stopped him just outside the box.

Aboubakar also struggled to make an impact, although the hosts had dominated the first half and almost went ahead in the 18th minute when Michael Ngadeu rose to head a corner off the woodwork.
Samuel Oum Gouet also saw a long-range piledriver clip the left upright in the second half.
Meanwhile the Egyptians went down at every opportunity, regularly looking to eat up time and frustrate their opponents.
Usually they eventually stood up again unscathed, although centre-back Mahmoud Hamdy El Wensh needed a bandage on a first-half head wound.
At least they ended the game with 11 players, but coach Carlos Queiroz — whose assistant was serving a ban here — was shown a red card as the end of normal time loomed after losing his temper on the touchline.
This was Egypt’s third extra time in as many knockout ties, after they needed penalties to beat the Ivory Coast in the last 16 and an extra half-hour to get the better of Morocco in the quarter-finals.
Extra time passed with penalties always seeming inevitable, and Aboubakar was the only successful taker for Cameroon as they go out.

We are happy, it’s true, but we have not yet reached the final objective: the coronation.

A very essential player in our team and who remains the centerpiece for us”.
