FULFILL YOUR CAMPAIGN PROMISE TO VICTIMS OF MICROFINANCE SCANDAL IN BRONG/AHAFO…NDC MAN TELLS AKUFFO ADDO
The NPP government is almost eighteen (18) months after the victory in the 2016 polls and yet the President has not taken any step to fulfill the campaign promises made to the good people of Brong/Ahafo.
I welcome the President His Excellency Nana Akuffo Addo to the B/A and also takes the opportunity to remind the President of his campaign promises to the good people of B/A especially the victims of the microfinance scandals in B/A including DKM, God is Love, Jastar Motors, Little Drops, Care for Humanity and others that immediately the NPP wins the 2016 elections the NPP government was going to pay all the monies to the customers of the defunct microfinance companies
The people of B/A were told m by the then candidate Akuffo Addo and Bawumia that some of the microfinance companies such as DKM and God is Love Fun Club were fully owned by the Former President John Mahama and former first Lady Lordina Mahama but as it stands now Nana Addo and the NPP has not been able to point to the Ghanaian public a single evidence which shows that those microfinance companies were really owned by the Former President and his wife. In fact the former President during the B/A turn of the NDC unity walks even dared the NPP government to imprisoned him and the wife if really they were responsible for the microfinance scandals
All these points to the fact that the NPP and Nana Addo only took advantage of the peoples plight for electoral fortunes and went back to sleep after the victory.
Mr President the people of B/A especially the people of Sunyani, Techiman, Kintampo, Nkoranza, Brekum are very hurt and disappointed in the double standards posture of the NPP government for refusing to honour this particular campaign promise
Mr President the people of B/A voted massively for the you and the NPP because they thought you were caring for their plight not knowing that they were falling for deception. The NPP government will go down in the history of Ghana as the most deceptive government ever.
The people of B/A expects nothing from the NPP government but a concrete solution to the myriad of microfinance scandals that the NPP rode on to win the 2016 elections.
In conclusion the people of B/A want to see the impact of this super incompetent substandard NPP government and it must be now or Never.
Signed
Charles Akowuah Tuffour
