Mahama Writes: ‘Tragedies of the Akufo-Addo Government’

Flagbearer of the Opposition New Democratic Congress, John Dramani Mahama has in a recent write-up, chided the current Akufo-Addo administration for ‘poor governance’ and increasing the country’s debt.

Mr Mahama said, contrary to assertions that the pandemic led to an ‘unplanned’ increased in government expenditure, Ghana’s ‘huge’ fiscal deficit was ‘created even before the COVID-19.’

John Dramani Mahama also said President Nana Akufo-Addo has taken Ghana’s democracy 28 years back.

According to him, state institutions that ought to be independent are being oppressed by the NPP administration from doing their constitutionally mandated duties.

'Tragedies of the Akufo-Addo Government'

The tragedy of the Akufo-Addo administration is not only the collosal debt it has saddled Ghanaians with. It is not only the huge fiscal deficit he has created even before #COVID-19.

It is not only the hundreds of projects he has abandoned causing taxpayers money to go waste.

It is not only his poor infrastructure record.

This particular tragedy is in the destruction and politicization of our institutions. A judiciary that lacks impartiality, an oppressed Parliament, a pliant Electoral Commission, an Auditor General hounded out of office, a misused military, anticorruption institutions in bondage, an intimidated media, and a terrified moral society.

These constitute the tragedy of the four years of Akufo-Addo’s administration.

He has set our democracy back twenty-eight (28) years. This is what makes it a patriotic duty for all patriotic Ghanaians to join hands to rescue our nation.
