The Former Ashanti Regional Chairman of Ghana
Journalists Association (GJA) Listowel Yesu Bukarson has described the
Mahama-led National Democratic Congress (NDC) government as the worst government
the country has witnessed over the years.He complained that Ghanaians
have been faced with serious challenges within the eight –year rule of President
John Mahama, saying the country is in shambles.
‘Are you happy today, me
am not, because our country and our economy are in shambles, this is the worst
government we have ever had, go back to the annals,’ he said.
Bemoaning
over the poor state of the economy, Mr. Bukarson questioned businesses lost
through the erratic power supply period.
According to him, most
businesses have collapsed due to mismanagement of the economy.
He
wondered why the NDC government has not been able to solve pertinent issues
bedevilling Ghanaians.
Speaking on Abusua FM’s Church bells hosted by
Ike-Da Unpredictable, the former Ashanti regional GJA boss added that ‘look at
how media houses and businesses are collapsing because of “dumsor”, look at the
fuel bought by media houses for their generators…look at how many newspapers
which do not have sales, TV stations which do not have adverts.
Do you
know how many people who have lost their jobs, how many lives have perished
because of that, do you know how many people have struggled, go to town
today’.
He also expressed disappointment over social interventions such
as GYEEDA, SADA that have collapsed in the North.
’It’s not about tribal
politics, but we Northerners are sincere, that is why I feel bitter about the
President’s governance. Anytime I see him I will point it out to him that
Ghanaians are suffering, people are really struggling in the North, when you
communicate with people, they tell you that previously they could pay their
children’s school fees through the sale of two guinea fowls, but ever since
President Mahama assumed office, they have to sell six fowls to pay school
fees,‘ he fumed.
The defeated parliamentary candidate for Builsa North
constituency called on Ghanaians to vote massively for the Flagbearer of the
opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo during December
polls to change the fortunes of the country.
‘Tomorrow if Nana Addo is
President by January 7, which I know he will be, if after one, two, three years
he is not performing, and if we are where we are today, I will personally speak
against it,’ he hinted. |
