National Patriotic Party [NPP] 2016 running
mate Dr. Mahamadu Bawumia has described President Mahama’s led administration as
a bad choice for the state.Speaking to residents of Savulugu in the
Northern Region as part of his campaign tour, Dr. Bawumia accused the ruling
government of causing untoward hardship in the country;
“The problems
we are having today are from three particular related issues, that is
mismanagement, incompetence and corruption …..Those are the three problems in
Ghana today that is why we need a change from the mismanagement, incompetence
and corruption…. all these three things lead to unemployment which we are
suffering from now… The Mahama government has been a very bad experiment for
Ghana …. This government has become a nightmare for Ghanaians and this is why we
need to vote for Nana Addo Danquah Akuffo Addo to change the tried and tested
person who has no integrity and vision…
…We are going to build
a new economy and that is going to create jobs , we have the plan to solve
unemployment … you will see a major change in the agricultural sector,
industrialization and the one district, one factory policy we are going to
reduce taxes for companies to survive”.
Meanwhile, Vice President
Paa Kwesi Amissah-Arthur in addressing students of the Cape Coast polytechnic
had this to say: “In the NPP’s published manifesto, they have put in about
63 proposals of which eight of them are revenue proposals to reduce revenues and
when I calculated the revenue loss that their manifesto proposes I get something
like 6.2 billion Ghana cedis, if they were running the government this year from
the reductions in tax rate and so on. In addition, they have also introduced 21
billion of new expenditures, so together with the 6.2 billion Ghana cedis in
revenue loss and an increase in expenditure projects; we are talking of an
additional 27 billion cedis loss to the state”. |
