Businessman and former Assin Central MP and New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer hopeful, Kennedy Agyapong, has said he has no justification to subject President Mahama and his government to criticism barely 10 months into his second administration.<\/p>\n

Allegations have been raised within political circles that the straight talking NPP flagbearer hopeful could be in bed with the Mahama administration as he seeks payments for government contracts he may have been handed in the recent past NPP administration, hence he is cautious to criticise the Mahama administration.<\/p>\n

However, speaking in an interview on Spear FM, Damongo, Ken Agyapong stated emphatically that he won\u2019t criticise Mahama and the government because he has no reason to do so.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have heard they are saying I\u2019m not attacking Mahama because government owes me and I want to be paid that is why I\u2019m not attacking Mahama\u2019s government. Ten months in government and what do you expect Mahama to do that you want me to criticise him? We have to be fair,\u201d Kennedy Agyapong said.<\/p>\n

\u201cTen months, even if it was cassava you planted, it would not have been ready for harvesting.\u201d<\/p>\n

The former MP said that his concentration is on his campaign to lead the NPP as flagbearer, and not on Mahama and the government.<\/p>\n

\u201cI won\u2019t criticise Mahama, I\u2019m focusing on my primaries \u2013 Ken Agyapong. I\u2019m not saying that when there is something wrong we should not say, but me, I\u2019m focusing on my primaries,\u201d he emphasised.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
