NPP has enviable record of expanding economy – John Boadu
The General Secretary of
the New Patriotic Party (NPP), John Boadu, has alluded that the NPP’s
opportunity of being in office for less than 3 years has an enviable record of
increasing the size of the economy which has unprecedentedly brought comfort to
the Ghanaian populace.
He noted that there was the need for all
well-meaning Ghanaians to ensure that the party stayed in power for several
years as that was the surest way of rebuilding the nation.
‘President Nana Addo inherited a tattered
economy from the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and in less than 3 years,
he has expanded the economy’, John Boadu told Kwame Tutu on Anopa Nkomo on
Accra based Kingdom FM 107.7 in an exclusive studio interview.
He has asked the Ghanaian electorate to make a
dispassionate comparison of the economic performances of the two leading
political parties to propel an excellent decision to maintain the NPP in 2020.
The ruling party’s General Secretary reiterated
that governance was about social inclusion, good governance, creating jobs for
the people, ensuring better incomes and housing for workers, as well as
consolidating the economic gains made so far, and not resorting to propaganda
and deception.
‘The NPP government would continue to implement
social interventions that would inure to the benefit of Ghanaians, and
mentioned the port reforms, the Free Senior High School policy, reduction of
the benchmark values of imports, payment of the National Health Insurance
subscriptions, capitation grants, among others,’ he noted.
John Boadu, therefore, urged Ghanaians to be
alert and cross-check facts, and not to rely on figures that did not have any
credibility, especially when it’s coming from the NDC.
The NPP General-Secretary was of the conviction
that the NDC has discredited record on the management of the economy and they
could not pose credible facts to challenge the Nana Addo led government, hence
they have resorted to lies and propaganda to throw the dust into the eyes of
Ghanaians.
