Communication Team Member of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Richard Manuribe, says Akufo-Addo’s tenure has been characterised by hopelessness, corruption and leadership paralysis.
He said every sector under President Akufo-Addo has declined leading to a high cost of living and punitive economic woes.
He added that claims by President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo that he knew how to revive the economy and not dead people was all political talk.
In his opinion, the President has failed in all indications of restoring the country’s economy and therefore cannot claim to know how to revive the economy.
He also accused the NPP of deceiving Ghanaians that a chunk of the funds the government has borrowed was injected into the construction of roads. According to the Chairman of Richard Manuribe, only 1.6 percent of over GH¢820 billion have been used for the construction of roads in the country.
“Despite being the luckiest and most resourced government in Ghana’s history, the Akufo-Addo/Bawumia NPP government has the least to show in terms of socio-economic development. This is because the NPP has used all your money mainly for consumption. This is contrary to the President’s claim that his government has used “a large amount of the money we borrowed on road construction,”Richard Manuribe told Accra-based Original FM 91.9.
