Vice presidential candidate of the opposition New Patriotic Party Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has asserted that President John Dramani Mahama lacks understanding of the so-called “Transformational Agenda” he claims to be pursuing.
He explained that President Mahama’s continuous exposition of transformational agenda does not reflect the situation on the ground.
Addressing the party Supporters gathered (Mini Rally) at Ajumanko Lorry Station the Constituency as part of his tour of Central Region,Dr. Bawumia wondered why President Mahama would incessantly talk about “Transformational Agenda” when he has collapsed most of the social intervention programmes the former President Kufuor introduced and mismanaged almost all the sectors of the economy.
He added, “before you became president,NHIS was functioning but today NHIS has collapsed,where is the transformation?,the School Feeding Programme,Free Maternal Care,National Youth Employment (NYE) Programme were all functioning but today they have all collapsed so where is the transformation?”
“Teachers and Nurses Trainees allowances have all been scrapped. Mass Cocoa Spraying programme has also collapsed under President Mahama, this President doesn’t understand what transformation is else he would have ceased from saying it,” Dr. Bawumia noted.
Dr. Bawumia accused President Mahama and the ruling party National Democratic Congress administration of ballooning the nation public debt from GHC 9.5billion to GHC110billion.
He noted that former President Kufuor led New Patriotic Party administration had a total of GHC 20billion,but brought massive developments and introduced several social intervention progrmmes to for Ghanaians.
However,he said President Mahama administration had collected GHC 248 billion in loans and taxes, but said they have failed to ulitilized the huge monies, all the social intervention programmes to collapse.
Dr.Bawumia said he would not cease to describe President Mahama and NDC incompetent because they lack vision to transform the country. He said under NPP Government led by Nana Akufo Addo Ghana would witness massive developments and introduction of One district -One factory and One million Dollars for every Constituency policies as well as the creation of Coastal, Northern and Middle Belt Development Authorities.
He appealed to the people of Ajumanko Enyan Essiam Constituency to vote for the NPP parliamentary Candidate Mr. Ransford Kwesi Nyarko and Nana Akufo Addo during the upcoming general elections.
