Head of Policy Monitoring and Evaluation Unit at the Presidency has advised President John Mahama to ignore what he calls diversionary tactics by the NPP.
Dr. Tony Aidoo said the criticisms by the NPP over the policies of the current government are baseless and only intended to frustrate the president.
Dr Tony Aidoo said President Mahama must remain focused to tackle the problems facing the country deliver the ‘Better Ghana Agenda’.
He told host of XYZ Breakfast Moro Awudu that President Mahama has begun his tenure on a good note.
“Yes he has started well…it’s a deliberate exposure of old problems which are raised now. The energy situation has been there…but as the President has said by the middle of this year we would be on top of the energy issue,” Tony Aidoo said.
But the Deputy Communications Director of the NPP, Yaw Buabeng Asamoah, said the Mahama administration is mismanaging the economy.
“When the NDC came into authority they suspended Single Spine implementation for one year within which they could have abandoned it, but they did not.
“Now the current record deficit of 8.7 billion cedis that we are seeing now only 1.9 billion cedis was used for the wage problem…so where is the rest of it, 600 million cedis went to the office of President and 700 million cedis went for so called social protection problems,” he said.
