“The NDC is going all out to ensure transparency and accountability,” Mr Mahama said as he bemoaned the “corruption, nepotism, and hardship” which he said had characterised the NPP government.
He said Ghanaians are fed up with the dishonesty of the Akufo-Addo government that “promised a lot and has delivered very little”, adding that his government will continue to provide the illuminating vision for Ghana unlike president Akufo-Addo whose government has brought back the culture of silence amongst journalists and critics of the NPP government.
Raising serious concerns about some challenges in the country, Mr Mahama posited that president Akufo-Addo has divided the country.
NDC, he noted will fix the problems of the government and ” put Ghana back on track”, and reiterated his commitment to transforming the lives of Ghanaians through better policies the party’s manifesto committee is putting together.
“I am very ready to work with [ you Ghanaians]… to rescue power from the government,” Mr Mahama pledged.
