The New Patriotic Party (NPP) says President John Dramani Mahama has failed to implement policies to resolve the numerous challenges facing the country.
Communications Director of the party, Nana Akomea said it would be sarcastic for President Mahama to be described as the best candidate in the presidential race for this year’s elections because the flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) has not offered credible leadership.
According to him, President Mahama has failed to fulfill his promises to tackle the energy crisis, which has affected many businesses and individuals for the past four years.
“In September 2012, President Mahama promised to fully implement the Single Spine Salary Structure (SSSS). Here we are today CLOGSAG members are on strike about their pay. Dumsor has been with us for four years now, and as we speak many places in Accra have no power,” Nana Akomea told Hello Fm, a Kumasi-based radio station, yesterday.
The NPP Communications Director stated that CLOGSAG members would not be on strike if the President had been prudent in the management of the scarce resources of the country by not doling out monies, cars and buildings to his cronies, including Akua Donkor of the Ghana Freedom Party (GFP).
“How do you get money to do important things when you are busily showering goodies on Akua Donko, buying her cars and renting expensive apartments for her,” he quizzed.
Nana Akomea disclosed this while reacting to comments made by the NDC Deputy General Secretary, Koku Anyidoho that President Mahama’s achievements were unprecedented.
“Is it infrastructure? Every government undertakes infrastructural projects, and even colonial government built infrastructure for this country and Koku wants to use this as the yardstick. That’s a pity,” he noted
According to the NPP Communication Director, the President has disappointed Ghanaians by failing to address the challenges of the country to improve the lives of the citizenry.
Mr Anyidoho said despite the numerous crises, President Mahama had executed massive infrastructural projects to the admiration of Ghanaians.
According to him, the NDC leader had created an atmosphere of peace and tranquility and implemented a lot of policies and programmes to improve the lives of the citizens in the country.
The NDC member said the President had exhibited quality and inspiring leadership which is unparalleled in the country.
He argued that President Mahama had calmly delivered on his promises to revive the country’s economy and preached against violence.
