The National Democratic Congress (NDC) advised the government to focus on improving the lives of Ghanaians as it had promised and refrain from "telling stories" to cover its failures .

According to the NDC, the administration headed by Akufo-Addo has worsened the state of the economy and collapsed businesses because of its poor policy and its poor implementation.

At a press conference in Accra, Sammy Gyamfi, NDC's communications officer, accused Vice President Alhaji, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, of indulging in intellectual dishonesty even though Ghanaians were living in poverty. difficult living conditions.

"As the head of the government's economic management team, we know that Mr. Bawumia is aware that the fate of Ghanaians has worsened since coming to power. Food prices have gone up abnormally, which is corroborated by the media last week. All he said in last week's plenary session was intellectual dishonesty, "he said.

The press conference followed statements by NPP Secretary General John Boadu last Sunday that the NDC would only be in power to destroy the good initiatives of NPP governments.

Mr Gyamfi said that the NPP was engaged in falsities about the economy, just as they had done in the opposition, saying that "the NPP needs to know what it is. is in power to improve the lives of Ghanaians and not overload him with talks and numbers. "

Describing the government as "ignorant of the management of the economy," Gyamfi said it was time for the NPP to listen to Ghanaians and use it to ease the concerns that are gradually crippling the country. .

"The policies of President Akufo-Addo and his team have unfortunately failed Ghanaians. We are at the stage where businesses and Ghanaians as a whole are suffering. This is not a conclusion NDC. That's what the Ghanaians say. We are only saying what is currently happening in our country, "said the communications officer.

Mr. Gyamfi pointed out that the poor performance of the nuclear plant "can not be compared to the success of former President John Mahama, who, through his policy and vision, continued his investments in the oil and gas sector. , generating higher oil revenues than the GH. 3 billion in 2018 against 900 million GH in 2016 ".

Citing corruption cases involving government appointees who were prosecuted and imprisoned under the Mahama-led government, he insisted that President Mahama's fight against corruption was flawless and should be emulated by the NPP government.
