The Minority Spokesman on Finance, Mr Moses Asaga, has alleged that the mass of Ghanaians have regretted voting the National Democratic Congress (NDC) out of office in the last general elections.

This is because the people found the cost of living and the prices of goods and services more bearable last year than what pertain at the moment.

Mr Asaga, who is also the Member of Parliament (MP) for Nabdam, said this when he addressed the constituency delegates’ congress of the NDC at Tongo. The congress, in an election, retained the old executive under the chairmanship of Mr P.V. Kuug, with Mr E. Aduko and Ms Veronica Kpeong as Secretary and Treasurer respectively.

The rest are Messrs Sumaila Panka, Organiser; Stephen Kin, Youth Organiser; Yizukkoni Tindana, Propaganda Secretary, and Ms Assibi Balemba, Women’s Organiser.

Mr Asaga noted that the claim by the Kufuor administration that the cedi has been stabilised and inflation has dropped is artificial and intended to satisfy the International Monetary Fund.

He said the reality of the situation is that the broad masses of the people are facing difficulties, especially high prices charged by the utilities for their services.
