NDC is a failure, Ghana deserves better – Afenyo-Markin
Minority Leader, Alexander Afenyo-Markin says the National Democratic Congress (NDC) government has failed to deliver on its lofty campaign promises and has instead worsened the living conditions of ordinary Ghanaians.
Speaking at the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) National Delegates Conference in Accra on Saturday, July 19, he noted that “The NDC’s betrayal is glaring. New levies on fuel have sparked pump prices, crashing ordinary Ghanaians.”
He criticised the NDC’s handling of illegal mining, also known as galamsey, accusing the government of paying lip service to a problem it publicly declared a crisis.
“Their pledge to end galamsey has crashed into chaos. The president calls it a national emergency, yet refuses to declare a state of emergency,” Afenyo-Markin said.
He also condemned what he described as dangerous attacks on the judiciary by the ruling party saying “They have vowed to reset our nation, but it has become a brazen assault on our judiciary—starting with the shameful vilification of our Chief Justice,” he stated.
The Minority Leader alleged that the NDC was scheming to exploit Ghana’s mineral resources for political purposes.
“Their promise of change is a sham, with schemes afoot to funnel our mineral wealth to their cronies,” he charged.
Touching on the recent Ablekuma North by-election rerun, Afenyo-Markin claimed it was marred by acts of violence carried out by individuals linked to the NDC.
“Worst of all, the questionable Ablekuma North rerun where NDC-affiliated thugs attacked our candidate Nana Akua Afriyie and former MP Hawa Koomson,” he added.
The Minority Leader went on delivering a blunt assessment of the NDC’s leadership insisting “The message is clear—NDC is a failure, Ghana deserves better.”
