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.

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.

However, speaking in an interview on Spear FM, Damongo, Ken Agyapong stated emphatically that he won't criticise Mahama and the government because he has no reason to do so.

"I have heard they are saying I'm not attacking Mahama because government owes me and I want to be paid that is why I'm not attacking Mahama's 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," Kennedy Agyapong said.

"Ten months, even if it was cassava you planted, it would not have been ready for harvesting."

The former MP said that his concentration is on his campaign to lead the NPP as flagbearer, and not on Mahama and the government.

"I won't criticise Mahama, I'm focusing on my primaries - Ken Agyapong. I'm not saying that when there is something wrong we should not say, but me, I'm focusing on my primaries," he emphasised.
