Dennis Miracles Aboagye, a former aide to former Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, has said the John Mahama-led NDC government is burdening Ghanaians.
Miracles Aboagye shockingly claimed that Ghanaians cannot even find electricity to run their businesses.
He also called on NDC communicators to stop attacking the NPP based on what he described as political agendas.
According to Dennis Miracles Aboagye, the government needs to fulfill its campaign promises to the citizens, highlighting the hardships Ghanaians are facing.
Speaking on Channel One TV, Dennis Miracles Aboagye stated, “We are struggling; that is our reality. Our reality is that we are struggling. Our business people cannot find the dollars to do business, and you are telling them about NPP. Didn’t they vote against the NPP? Stop this government is burdening Ghanaians; we can’t even find electricity to run our businesses.
We need to run businesses on gensets. Do you know how much it costs? You think that the 36 million Ghanaians they should keep quiet and suffer because you have moved the country from where it was under NPP from three to four, so we should clap for you”.
He added, If they wanted four you think they would have voted for you? You promised them 10, and we are basically benchmarking the NDC against themselves. It is the promise that you made to us that we are asking you to fulfil. Why are you bringing in the NPP?
We are saying that you promised a Big Push, do it, you are saying NPP, you promised Women Development Bank, do it, you are saying NPP”.
Also, Joseph Kpemka, a former Deputy Attorney General, has argued that the economic challenges that led to the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) defeat in the 2024 elections still remain unresolved by the NDC-led Mahama government.
Mr Kpemka noted that the Mahama government has recorded several positives, but the fundamental thing about food costs that took out the NPP still persists.
According to him, under the NPP, Kenkey was selling at a certain price, and he quizzed whether there has been a difference in the price of Kenkey now.
Speaking on Face to Face on Channel One TV, Joseph Kpemka stated, “We’re just 7 months into the Mahama government. Of course, he has recorded a number of positives. But I can tell you the fundamentals that took us out, which are bread and butter in the urban centres and rural areas; very little change has happened”.
“You may have indicators that are positive agreed. You may have indicators that have risen, agreed. But the fundamental thing about the cost of food, if under NPP we bought kenkey at a certain price, the question today is it better? Are we buying it at a cheaper cost?”, he quizzed.
He added, “Or we’re maintaining it, or it’s going higher. The basic and fundamental needs of the people are the things they use to judge you. You can talk about the micro and macro indicators that will not directly affect the poor person or the ordinary person. Go and find out the cost of fertilisers in rural areas, and whether they can afford them. There’s no subsidy.”
Also, Abena Osei Asare, the former Minister of State at the Ministry of Finance, also shared a similar sentiment, saying that ordinary Ghanaians are still struggling under rising costs of living.
According to Abena Osei Asare, despite claims by the government, the economy is on a recovery path Ghanaians are still struggling.
She asserted that Finance Minister Ato Forson’s confidence does not reflect the economic reality faced by citizens.
