President Akufo-Addo has said he is not moved by attacks against his government by the Assin Central MP Kennedy Agyapong.

Speaking to journalists at the Flagstaff House after his first six months in office, the president said he has been in the same political party with Mr Agyapong and he is, therefore, not surprised about some of his comments.

“His comments do not irritate me, we can have different views on different matters and that is fine…” the president said.

The maverick politician had recently accused the president of not appointing many people from the Central Region in his administration.

“Ask these MPs seated here, their names were collected with the promise to appoint them to boards of state institutions, they are here, asked any of them if they have had any such positions. The MPs have been neglected, if you’re not a minister then forget it, that is NPP for you.

"So party supporters must go easy on demands from MPs as they don’t hold any position. It is not easy for MPs at all. But if we’re able to speak such truths for our mistakes to be corrected, then it will be easy for us to win 2020, but when we remain quiet then we’re doomed,” he said.
