National Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Johnson Asiedu Nketia has described policies of the Akufo-Addo-led government as disastrous.[ads2]
According to him, the policies of the current NPP government are corrupt and disastrous which have led the country to a severe economic hardships.
In a Facebook post, the former longest-serving NDC General Secretary believes the current situation of the country provide useful lessons for the improvement of the country’s governance.[ads3]
“The hardships and corruption emanating from the disastrous economic, social, political and developmental policy choices of the Akufo-Addo and Bawumia NPP administration provide useful lessons and insights that must improve our governance systems and practices for the benefit of the future generation.
“Particularly these bitter lessons make a solid case for active citizen awareness and participation in the choice and/or implementation of policies.”[ads4]
He warned that, “If citizens opt to sit on the sidelines or pursue narrow political agendas, they ultimately bear the consequences of bad governance, as is currently with the dubious debt exchange programme and as revealed by the audit report on the COVID-19 expenditures of the government.
“Citizens must be interested, vocal, and insistent on how they prefer to be governed. It’s their country and their future that is more at stake with every government action.”[ads5]
