Ken Agyapong also contended that anyone willing to be President should be able to show their fund raising skills therefore it's important for the aspirants to show how they can mobilise revenue.

He said a lot of them are being hypocritical about the amount and that they can be able to raise it.

The vociferous MP also said the huge amount tests the fund raising competence of the aspirants.

He said the eight aspirants that are fighting the National Executives Council (NEC) of the NDC that they can't pay are all liars.

Speaking on Adom TV's "Badwam" show, he said: "All of them are liars, Kojo Bonsu, Bagbin, Sylvestre Mensah are allsayin they can’t pay? They should pay, it should show that they can pay be President".
