The New Patriotic Party, after studying the highlights of the ruling party’s manifesto, has accused the President of the Republic of being empty on ideas to develop Ghana.
Instead, the President steals ideas from his political opponents only to be found wanting when it comes to implementing them. The NPP has further said President Mahama and his National Democratic Congress have no intention to deliver on their manifesto promises if Ghanaians make the mistake of re-electing them for 12 straight years this December.
Addressing a press conference in Accra today, the Communications Director of the party, Nana Akomea, said, the NDC “steal our policies and cannot implement them. They even steal the title of our manifesto. So they have no deep attachment to the principles necessary to drive the promises they give. To them, politics is all about ways and means. Nothing to do with actually making lives better.”
According to Nana Akomea, President Mahama, in putting together his 2016 Manifesto, chose to either steal ideas from the NPP or simply repeat promises first given in NDC’s 2008 and 2012 manifestos, which he failed woefully to implement when he had the mandate to do just that.
Nana Akomea mentioned some few examples in, what the NPP described as its initial comments on the NDC manifesto. Below is how the NPP summed up the serious trust deficit in what John Mahama says and what and how he delivers:
