NDC Rates NPP Government 14% in Manifesto Promises Fulfilment

The opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) has shot down suggestions that the current Akufo-Addo government have performed decently in light of their campaign promises made.

According to the NDC, the NPP government has only accomplished 14% (86 out of 631) of the campaign promises made prior to the 2016 general elections.

In a presentation by North Tongu MP, Samual Okudzeto Ablakwa, at press briefing today, the opposition described the current government performance as woeful.

“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.”

The Akufo-Addo government in February had rated 78% their performance with regard to delivering campaign promises. Thus, the NPP said they had fulfilled 114 out 189 promises made.

However, Okudzeto Ablakwa in response 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.”

He said the NDC had wished the Akufo-Addo government would perform well, so that the party is challenged to perform better when they assume position of power eventually. However, he said that has not been the case per the performance analysis.

The NDC announced a website, www.nppfailedpromises.com, which contains its attempt at fact-checking the NPP’s manifesto promises.
