Former First Lady Nana Konadu Agyeman Rawlings
has described the National Democratic Congress (NDC) government as the most
corrupt administration under the 4th Republic.She indicated that “at
first we thought ex-President Kufuor’s administration was topping the list but
with the rise in corrupt practices which have led to severe poverty, there is no
doubt that this government tops the list.
“Businesses have collapsed and
there is total hardship and poverty all over the place which has come about due
to corrupt practices on the part of the present NDC government, Nana Konadu
said.
Bombshell
She threatened to expose the
mind-blowing corrupt practices under the NDC government especially as the
general elections draw closer.
The ex-First Lady, who is also the
flagbearer of the National Democratic Party (NDP), spoke on a wide range of
national issues during an interview with King Edward of Hello FM in
Kumasi.
Rawlings Vrs Mahama
She added that “the present NDC
administration is stealing like nobody’s business. Mismanagement and corruption
were minimal during Mr. Rawlings era.
Bloated
Figures
She lambasted the current NDC administration of bloating
the cost of government projects to enrich themselves, as majority of the
population wallow in abject poverty.
Roads and hospital projects, which
are supposed to cost 50,000 Euros, are now being constructed at a staggering
amount of 350,000 Euros,” the NDP leader said.
She told Ghanaians not to
consider the so-called road, hospital and school projects being undertaken by
the government but think about the cost of those projects.
Jabs
NDC
Nana Konadu stated categorically that the NDC government has
not initiated any new programme to improve the lives of the masses since it
assumed office eight years ago.
She disclosed that every government is
mandated to construct roads, schools and hospitals.
Nana Konadu said
“what new thing has the present government introduced,” she said, urging the
electorate to critically assess their living conditions and vote for positive
change this year.
Collapsed Businesses
Businesses
that were once making giant strides are now either collapsing or relocating to
neighbouring Cote d’Ivoire or Togo due to the trend of bad
leadership.
Stolen Ideas
Nana Konadu accused the
NDC government of continually stealing new ideas and policies of the NDP, saying
that she had decided not to declare the ideas of the NDP publicly to stop the
NDC from stealing them.
She said the NDP, when voted into political
office, would boost salt production, transform technical and vocational
education and decentralise the agricultural sector to boost food
production.
Montie 3
Nana Konadu said the
four-month prison term slapped on the Montie 3 by the Supreme Court was
appropriate, saying that the convicts had insulted respectable people in the
country for many years.
“Nobody was checking them to stop the insults and
I am surprised that people now have voices to cry for them.” |
