Akufo-Addo prudently introduced series of far-reaching reforms – Owusu-Bempah
A Deputy Communications Director of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) Ernest Owusu-Bempah has said President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has prudently utilised the nation’s resources to benefit Ghanaians.
He intimated that the government has introduced a series of far-reaching political reforms including the Planting for Food and Jobs, One District One Factory, Free Senior High School, huge investment in infrastructure amongst others.
Unlike the Akufo-Addo administration, he said, the main opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) mismanaged the economy when they were in government even without a major crisis like the Covid pandemic.
In a statement, the Director of Caproate affairs at the Ghana National Gas Company Limited said “We haven’t forgotten about how the Mahama government willfully misapplied $175 million loan facility secured in 2012 which was to provide seven district hospitals? We also can’t forget about the over GH200 million SADA funds invested in trees burnt down while guinea fowls mysteriously flew to nearby Burkina Faso without a trace.
“How these NDC fanatics are able to put Akufo-Addo and Mahama in the same basket beats my imagination.
“We’re talking about the Akufo-Addo administration that has prudently introduced a series of far-reaching political reforms and policies inclusive of Planting for Food and Jobs, One District One Factory, Free SHS, huge investment in infrastructure amongst others.
“It is quite clear to even kindergarteners that the New Patriotic Party (NPP) are better managers of the economy than the National Democratic Congress(NDC).
“The NDC cannot be better managers of the economy. The data from the Bank of Ghana, Ghana Statistical Service, International Monetary Fund(IMF) and the World Bank since 1992 clearly shows that the various NPP administrations has done better in tackling recessions and show a more consistent economic performance.
“The NDC, by contrast, has always being the party that disproportionately presides over a shrinking economy. NDC propagandists must hang their heads in shame. Mahama’s NDC can’t do any better. We know Mahama and what he is made of. We know what he did with the economy between 2012 – 2016.”
His statement was reacting to the criticisms by the NDC and former President John Dramani Mahama against the government to the effect that the New Patriotic Party (NPP) administration has failed the country.
