NDC claims ownership of & # 39; Planting For Food & Jobs & # 39 ;. . . We have funded it. – Omane Boamah | Policy

The introduction and implementation of the "Plant for Food and Employment" initiative has always been seen as the original idea of ​​the Nana Akufo-Addo government, but a former minister of the former government John Mahama says that this policy was funded by the National Democratic Act. Congress (NDC).

Dr. Edward Omane Boamah, former Minister of Information and Communication, said, "The NDC administration has not explicitly stated that it has launched the" Plant for Food and Employment "policy.obviously, the source of funding was that provided by the NDC administration"

Pontifying on Gold Radio& # 39; S & # 39;Alhaji and Alhaji & # 39; Dr. Omane Boamah wondered why, even after the predecessor of the Nuclear Power Plant (NDC) had funded the "Plant for Food and Employment" project, the Akufo-Addo administration still could not ensure the implementation of the program, but ratherroar on the roofs for an exceptional harvest & # 39; in the field of plantain agriculture.

"They talk about planting for food and creating jobs and that, obviously, the source of funding is that provided by the NDC administration. But you see, how can you grow corn and then shout on the roof applauding yourself if you harvest pineapple?He wondered.

He claimed that the administration of nuclear power plants headed by President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo had embezzled funds intended to "Plant for welfare and food" to focus only on plantain, an aspect of the entire program, leaving the rest of the program to collapse; making the whole program unsuccessful.

"We heard them last time shouting on the roofs of this plantain, we had an exceptional harvest, which meant that planting food and creating jobs had worked; in the meantime, they had never told us that they were investing in the "plantation for food and employment" in the plantain sector."

The doctor expressed his repulsion at the "level of arrogance and insensitivity" shown by the Akufo-Addo government towards "a mere warning of the minority in Parliament" that the economy was evolving. in the wrong direction.

"A simple question and questions were asked and these questions, one could have expected that the Vice President, Dr. Bawumia, who asked more than 170 questions, most of which were useless questions, would have had the presence of mind and the humility of answering only five,he slammed.
