The opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) has scored the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) 14% in the delivery of promises it made to Ghanaians in the leadup to the 2016 general elections.
The former Deputy Minister of Education Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa who addressed the media on Monday stated that the NDC after a detailed analysis arrived at the conclusion that the Akufo Addo government had delivered 86 out of its 631 promises.
The North Tongu MP argued that the level of fulfilment of the NPP’s promises does not compare to that of the NDC.
“You are given four good years of the destiny of the people and all you can do is 14 percent. And even this we have been so generous. You scored an F.”
He further accused the government of “mind-boggling” intellectual dishonesty because it was not being candid with citizens.
“You don’t even have the courage to apologise for it and try to see you make amends but you think you can lie your way through by understating the number of promises that you make.”
The Akufo Addo administration in February scored itself 78 percent in the fulfillment of its promises.
Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia who led the presentation asserted that the government had delivered 114 of its promises while 189 additional promises are in the process of being fulfilled.
Mr. Ablakwa challenged the NPP to perform better to ensure positive competition among the two leading parties.
“We would wish that our opponents perform when they are in government so we will be challenged to think harder and perform better when we get the opportunity so it becomes a positive competition to the top.”
