 T he 2020 Presidential Candidate of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) has criticised the Akufo-Addo government for being unwilling to listen to the concerns of the people amidst the dire economic situation in the country. Describing the governance of the incumbent administration as “a tragedy” Mr. John Mahama said “we have a government completely unwilling to acknowledge the problems and even begin the processes to address them.” He noted that instead, the government assumes the issues can be “wished-away through sloganeering, public relations, populism, divisive rhetoric, and plain political deception.” Speaking at a public lecture to climax his ‘Thank You’ tour on Wednesday, the former President observed that these actions and inactions of the government have been detrimental to the country’s development. “The most pressing problem is the impact of the ailing economy on livelihoods, prospects and dreams.

Suspended member of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) now a social commentator Bernard Allotey Jacobs has advised Alan John Kwadwo Kyerematen to withdraw from the NPP flagbearership race or forfeit to become speaker of Ghana’s parliament in 2024. According to Mr Jacobs, it will be very easy for Dr Mahamudu Bawumia to lead the NPP to victory in 2024."The NPP should select Vice-President Bawumia as its flagbearer in 2024 for a one-touch victory.” “The only person who can worry Bawumia is Alan John Kwadwo Kyerematen but I think Alan should adopt Joe Biden of America’s style. The leadership of the party must quickly set in to talk to him to withdraw from the race. So they appoint him speaker should they break the 8-year chain, or else what happened in 2008 that cost their victory is likely to happen again,” he told Don Kwabena Prah on Happy FM’s Epa Hoa Daben. Meanwhile, other fractions in the NPP are seriously lobbying for Alan Kyeremanten to lead the party in

One district, One factory is a scam - Chief Biney The Deputy National Organizer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Chief Biney has asserted that the NPP ‘s One District, One Factory (1D1F) flagship program is a deception to the country. In an exclusive interview with Kwame Afrifa Mensah on the ‘Epa Hoa Daben’ show aired on Happy 98.9 FM, he divulged that the incumbent government is only presenting existing factories as projects under the 1D1F. “One district one factory is a scam. They only visit existing factories and claim they have built factories”, he said. He believed that the number of factories built as propounded by the Government was false. In his submission, he admitted that his district, Ekumfi had benefited from the One District, One Factory project. However, he declared that just one project could not account for the factories in every district in the country. However, a story published by Graphic Online on May 7th 2019 stated otherwise.

Member of Parliament for Ningo Prampram, Sam Nartey George has accused President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo and the seat of government of endorsing what he says are illegal and irresponsible actions being showcased by heads of the country’s Electoral body. This follows a supposed meeting held by some Electoral Commission officials at the Airport City Escape Hotel in Accra Saturday. Mr. George, who had earlier secured a court injunction against a planned workshop by the EC in his constituency said the move was a violation of the country’s laws and impropriety. The MP who had stormed the place with some other party members to ascertain the details of the said meeting expressed disappointment in the leaders of the commission whom he claims acted with approval from the presidency. His displeasure was based on the argument that the EC and officials present at the location were flouting government’s directives against the holding of any political or public gatherings in the wake of the fas

Prof Baffour Agyeman-Duah, Dr Kobby Mensah and Dr Etse Sikanku were unanimous in their approvals of how the government has handled the crisis since the first case of Covid-19 was reported in Ghana in the latter part of March this year The commendations by the experts come despite contrary views from a section of the public, particularly from the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), that  some the decisions by the President have been poor. According to Prof Agyeman-Duah, who is a former UN Senior Governance Advisor, after closely monitoring the President’s management of the crisis, he is convinced the President checks all the boxes for a bold and courageous leader – the type societies need in a time of crisis. “When he began, when he m
