K. B Asante, Kwesi Jonah & Lord Commey’s assessment of the NPP and President Kufuor on the occasion of the 2nd anniversary of the December 08, 2004 election
Friday December 08 marked exactly two years after the election that ushered the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) and President John Kufuor into its second term. The opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) is in court though, over the results of that election.
The day passed almost unnoticed, but at the Castle, friends and family of the President made merry as he celebrated his 68th birthday.
Two years after ‘winning’ that election, the NPP, according to independent analysts has been unable to satisfy the broad mass of the population including (even) its own supporters. This is in spite of the fact that the same analysts and commentators agree that there has been improvements to the respect of people’s freedoms (one fact many people agree to, though some insist that there are people who are suffering quietly) and positive macro economic policies (but which are not been felt by the people).
But with many more promises made to Ghanaians by the party and President Kufuor, in the midst of mounting scandals some of which are (un)successfully pushed underground with the help of an increasing number of radio propagandists, dailyEXPRESS sought the views of three personalities on the performance of the government.
