The former President John Dramani Mahama, who made public several policy decisions to be contained in the “People Manifesto 2020” to be pursued in the event that the NDC is able to wrestle power from the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP), pledged to lead a government of “integrity”, “dignity”, honesty” and “truth”.
Mr Mahama, described as regrettable, the abysmal performance of the Akufo-Addo government, saying though it has “Benefitted so much”, it has “Shown so little”.
He went on to accuse the NPP government for massaging the economic figures just to look better, saying “they are skewing the books to show economic numbers thatare better than the reality”.
According to the former President, he is committed to lead a government that will work to ensure every Ghanaian benefits from the resources of the country, instead of the present dispensation of “nepotism” where few people in a “systematic” and “state capture” agenda, are looting from the people.
“Ghanaians look forward to the NDC stepping up to the plate and rescuing power from this government that promised so much, but has delivered little.
a government that said it will provide inclusive government, but has practiced the worse form of nepotism”.
Mr Mahama, said his successor has managed to divide the country like never before and deprived a good number of Ghanaians their sources of livelihood with the collapse of banks and other financial institutions in the name of financial sector clean up.
In his view, the government should have implored different measure to “cost effectively” resolve the sector’s so-called challenges.
He went on to accuse President Akufo-Addo of presiding over a government that is intolerant of opposing views, intimidating and gradually introducing the “culture of silence” while ensuring the closure of opposition media stations.
