The ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) has fulfilled 70% of its campaign promises, the party’s General Secretary has said. John Boadu said the Akufo-Addo administration is on course to fulfill all of its promises made during the 2016 general elections.

According to him, the NPP government has taken appropriate measures to better the lives of Ghanaians since assuming office.

"When we came into office, we were met with huge debts and no money. It is for this reason that we put in place the appropriate measures to strengthen our monetary system, so the development we promised the people can be met,” he said in an interview. “The Government of President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo is absolutely on course. We are systematically working to deliver on each of our promises.”

Mr. Boadu further disclosed plans by government to provide an uplift to local businesses in the transport sector. He said government is committed towards the provision of the requisite infrastructure for businesses of the transport unions and transport owners to thrive.

This, he said, will be achieved through a solid national financial footing, which the government has already started doing.

He said the NPP government has so far managed to achieve the majority of its since assuming office, adding that the party will do even more when retained in 2020.

This means the current 2019 NDMW of GHC 10.65 will increase to GHC 11.82 effective next year. Read more: https://yen.com.gh/132496-akufo-addo-solving-problems-ghanaians.html
