Speaking on Net 2 TV, Agyapong dismissed claims that his comments were driven by bitterness, insisting that he was speaking out in the interest of national development.
He maintained that Ghanaians deserve answers on key government projects, including the Agenda 111 hospital initiative.
The former NPP flagbearer aspirant also alleged that corruption remains a major challenge in Ghana's political system. He claimed that the practice of awarding public contracts in exchange for kickbacks is not limited to a single political party.
Agyapong further alleged that both the NPP and the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC) have been linked to questionable procurement practices.

He claimed that his wife was once asked to pay a percentage of the value of a public contract before it could be awarded.
He warned that attempts to dismiss his concerns or portray him as bitter would not deter him from speaking publicly about issues he believes affect the country's development.
Neither the NPP nor the NDC has publicly responded to the allegations.
