In a bid to showcase the achievements of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) government over the past almost eight years, Vice President Mahamoud Bawumiah and other party executives are facing difficulty in accurately detailing the administration’s accomplishments.
With a staggering debt of GhC658.6 billion ($53.1 Billion) burdening the nation, the effort to provide a comprehensive account of the NPP’s tenure has proven to be a daunting task for the party’s campaign team.
During a recent public appearance, Vice Chairman of the NPP, Omari Wadie, struggled to articulate the government’s accomplishments in terms of health infrastructure.
When questioned about the number of hospitals built by the administration since 2017, Wadie faltered and failed to pinpoint any specific projects completed by the government.
His attempts to reference ongoing Agenda 111 initiatives were dismissed as incomplete, leaving him unable to cite any notable achievements in the field of health infrastructure.
Wadie’s response was met with criticism and ridicule from fellow panelists, further highlighting the challenges faced by party officials in accurately portraying the government’s achievements.
This incident is not isolated, as other prominent party members, including former Minister for Roads and Highways, Francis Asenso Baokye, and Ashanti Regional Minister Simon Osei Mensah, have also struggled to provide a comprehensive list of government projects when pressed for details.
These instances of public figures failing to adequately showcase the administration’s accomplishments have drawn significant scrutiny and criticism.
As the NPP continues its campaign efforts, the issue of accountability and transparency in detailing the government’s achievements remains a key challenge for party officials.
Critics argue that the inability to accurately showcase tangible accomplishments raises questions about the administration’s track record and transparency in governance.
