The opposition National Democratic Congress has scored the Akufo-Addo led government an F, saying the administration has only achieved 14 per cent of their 2016 manifesto promises.
According to the NDC, claims by the Vice President, Dr Mahammudu Bawumia that the government had achieved 78 per cent of their promises are mere exaggerations.
On 11 February 2020, Dr Bawumia declared that the Akufo-Addo government had achieved 78 per cent of its manifesto promises when he addressed participants at a Government Townhall Meeting and Results Fair in Kumasi, Ashanti Region.
But dissecting the Akufo-Addo government’s manifesto promises as against its achievements on Monday, 15 June 2020, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa said three ministries of the government (Youth and Sports; Chieftaincy and Religious Affairs; as well as Local Government and Rural Development) scored zero in their ratings.
According to him, the government had only executed 86 of its 681 promises with five months to the December 7 elections.
“You are given four good years of the destiny of the people and all you can do is 14 per cent. And even this we have been so generous. You scored an F…you don’t even have the courage to apologise for it and try to see if you make amends but you think you can lie your way through by understating the number of promises that you made.”
