Mr Agyapong, who made the presentation at the palace of the Swedruhene, said about two months ago, he made a similar donation to the victims and promised to seek assistance from other well-meaning Ghanaians to support them.
The MP also asked Nana Botwe, Swedruhene, who received the items, to give part of it to other victims in the Gomoa East.
He said the problems facing the displaced persons could be solved by the collaborative efforts of government, organizations and individuals.
The MP appealed to well-to-do people in the country and foreign philanthropists to go to the aid of the affected persons.
Nana Asiedu Kobina Botwe II, Swedruhene, expressed appreciation to Mr Agyapong and Ken City Ghana Limited for the kind gesture and appealed to Ghanaians to assist the displaced persons.
He asked the people in the Agona West Municipality, Gomoa and Agona East districts not to politicise into the donation made by the MP.
Nana Botwe stated that it was being done on humanitarian grounds to support the people who have been hit by the flood, which occurred in June 20 this year.
He also thanked the MP for keeping his promise to return to assist them after donating 50 bags of rice, 30 boxes of cooking oil and 20 bags of sugar to the displaced persons at Agona Swedru, Nyakrom and urged others to learn from his example.
Nana Essieni, Nifahene and Nana Kobina Nyakoh, Wawasehene and other leaders of the Swedruman Council of Chiefs were present.
