Popular Ghanaian businessman and politician, Kennedy Agyapong, has donated a set of wheelchairs to the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital.
He made the donation on April 30, after he visited a Kwame Nkrumah University of Science & Technology (KNUST) student who got stabbed during the Ashanti Region leg of the New Patriotic Party's Thank You tour.

The student, a member of the Unity Hall "jama group" at KNUST, was stabbed by unidentified individuals while performing jama songs at the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) Thank You Tour event in Bantama on Tuesday, April 29, 2025.
Reports indicate that the student was stabbed following a money dispute between his group and another unidentified group involved in the NPP-affiliated event at the Bantama Pentecost Church.
The Thank You tour has now been halted following the incident. Kennedy Agyapong and some key NPP members have pulled out of the confusion-riddled tour.
According to Kennedy Agyapong, who withdrew from the tour citing security issues, his donation to the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital was inspired by his visit to the stabbed victim.

He made a post about his gesture, accompanied by a caption which read,
"During a recent visit to Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital to support a student who had been stabbed, I witnessed a critical shortage of hospital beds."
"I initially planned to donate beds, but due to supply challenges in Kumasi, I consulted with hospital management. They advised that wheelchairs would be just as essential in improving patient mobility and care. Today, I am proud to donate these wheelchairs to support the hospital and its patients."
