Eastern Regional Communications Director of the ruling government, Mr David Prah says the New Patriotic Party (NPP) has performed much better in its three (3) years of administration than the erstwhile National Democratic Congress (NDC’s) 8 years.
According to him, with the “planned policies and pragmatic government interventions rolled-out, Ghanaians are now better off under the Akufo Addo led government.”
In an interview on Rite FM, the Communications Director explained that within just three years, the NPP can boast of so many projects that hitherto had even not existed.
“We’ve a 4-year mandate to deliver on our campaign promises but I can confidently tell you that much has been achieved even with 3 years . . . The NDC should not think that we’ve been idle, by the time we are done with our first term, the country will see massive infrastructural transformation.”
“Is the NDC trying to tell us that they have not seen what government is doing and the positive projections we have made so far as a government?” he rhetorically asked.
To him, Ghanaians are better off under an NPP government than that of the NDC.
“The NPP, under Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, promised among other things, to change the education system, to introduce free senior high school education, to change the management of the economy from the focus on taxation to the focus on production, to change from most districts with no factories to a philosophy of one district-one factory, to change from a situation where most villages in the north have no dams to a position of one village-one dam, to change from the predominance of sole-sourcing from public procurement to tendering in procurement, to change from the abolishing of teacher trainee allowances to the restoration of teacher trainee allowances”, he said.
According to Mr David Prah, under the NDC administration, there was high unemployment rate, a high fiscal deficit of 9.3 per cent of GDP in 2016 coupled with a high public debt which pushed the debt-to-GDP ratio to 73.1 per cent.
He further described NDC as the enemy to national development.
“NDC have nothing good to offer Ghanaians, all they think about is their selfish interest without any proper policy and they cannot compare themselves to NPP in terms of developmental projects so these should tell you the kind of people we are dealing with and we must know that they are enemies to our development” he lamented
