Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, general secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), said the ruling government had lost its leadership and was leading Ghana into the abyss.

He said that the ruling party, the new Patriotic Party (NPP), had lost its attention and abused its functions, hence the reason the party joined the planned demonstration "Kum Yen Preko".

He told Frontline's host on Rainbow Radio 87.5Fm Kwabena Agyapong that the protest would tarnish Ghanaians' demand for better leadership from the NPP.

He said that Ghanaians live the experience of poor governance under the NCP and that because of these economic difficulties, they have worsened.

For him, the NPP has no sense of priority and the reason why Ghanaians voted for them was left to the dogs with everything upside down.

He made specific reference to the new chamber saying that the NPP had completely lost the sense of direction.

Nketiah warns Ghanaians may suffer a serious crisis if they fail to stand up against the government's poor leadership and demand a priority, including the right to life, health, safety and security. Education, better infrastructure, including roads.

He added that the second cycle of the free high school was facing serious problems and that instead of asking the government to put in place measures to remove the dual-track system, he planned to build a new room of a cost of $ 200 million. This should be the number one priority and we will develop the educational infrastructure in Ghana. "

"All these challenges are facing the Ghanaians and yet we have a government that gives priority to a new House of Parliament."

He also lamented the lack of ambulances in the country and the lack of hospital beds, adding that "the $ 200 million equivalent to more than 1.7 billion GHc, which could be used to d & # 39; Other important activities in the country ".

"Kum Yen Preko" is a protest organized by the Coalition for Social Justice (CSJ) on 9 July to protest what it describes as difficult economic conditions.

The organizers said the march was directed against "misery and oppression" in Ghana under the Akufo-Addo-led administration.

They say the march is a replica of the president's protest that he led in 1995 in Ghana.

"Nana Addo instituted" Kum yen Preko "and we will manifest the same way in the face of the same oppression and the same difficulties as those in which he led the protesters in 1995, when the former President Rawlings wanted to apply the value-added tax to Ghana, "said Sammy Gyemfi. the organizer of the march told reporters a week ago.

He added that the protest was also inspired by President Akufo-Addo's "unfulfilled" promises, which led to his victory.

"We had so much hope in the Akufo-Addo administration to transform Ghana after making all these campaign promises in 2016, but it seems that all these promises have become 419," he said. added.
