The immediate past Chairman of NPP-Germany, Mr
Alhassan Yakubu Tali has reminded President John Dramani Mahama and the NDC that
Ghanaians are not prepared reward eight years of mismanagement, unprecedented
corruption and reckless borrowing with another four-year term.Addressing
a meeting of NPP supporters in Dusseldorf over the weekend, Mr Alhassan Tali
noted that the Mahama-led NDC government has brought nothing but economic misery
and untold hardships to a vast majority of Ghanaians saying “people who delude
themselves into thinking that NDC can win these elections are either taking
Ghanaians for granted or oblivious to the suffering of the people”.
The
former Chairman expressed the conviction that vile propaganda will not help
President and his failed policies this time because most Ghanaians have come to
the realisation that the NDC government has failed to deliver the promises it
made in 2008 and 2012.
According to Mr Alhassan Tali, President Mahama
started his second term in 2012 when the country had very favourable economic
conditions including high prices for export products, revenue from oil and
received more in terms of tax revenues more than any other government since
independence.
He explained that apart from the massive tax revenues,
President Mahama and the NDC have borrowed more than all governments and has
increased Ghana’s debt stock from Ghc 9.5 billion in 2008 to Ghc 105 billion as
at May 2016 and said despite these massive resources the NDC has very little to
show other than misery, deprivation and neglect especially in the North where
the President claims to have from.
Mr Alhassan Tali noted that ordinary
Ghanaians are now being asked to pay for the failure and incompetence of
President Mahama in the form of increase taxes on utilities such as electricity,
water, kerosene and gas as well as social services including health care and
education.
He reminded Ghanaians that although the NPP under President
John Agyekum Kuffour did not receive even a third of what the NDC inherited in
terms of tax revenues and grants, the NPP was able to introduce very critical
social intervention programmes including the NHIS, NYEP, Capitation Grant, Free
Maternal Care, LEAP among others.
Mr Alhassan Tali assured Ghanaians that
an Akuffo-Addo led government will continue the legacy of President by creating
jobs for the teaming youth , provide an enabling business environment and reduce
the rather exorbitant taxes at the sea ports. He called on Ghanaians to vote for
Nana Akuffo-Addo and the NPP to make Ghana work again
