The National Democratic Congress (NDC) Constituency Secretary for Sunyani East has labeled President Nana Akufo-Addo as the most insensitive head of state Ghana has ever had, citing his mismanagement of the country's economy.

Mr. Atta Kusi, who was speaking on Power FM's Battleground program on Wednesday night, argued that Ghana was better off under the leadership of John Mahama before he was voted out by Ghanaians in favor of Akufo-Addo.

Addressing the skyrocketing prices of goods and services coupled with numerous taxes that are crippling businesses in the country, the NDC man explained that the country was heading in the wrong direction despite the many promises of Akufo-Addo and his ministers to fix the country's challenges.

He noted that since assuming office in January 2017, Akufo-Addo has showcased his cluelessness in good governance, leaving the citizens with bad governance riddled with unrestrained corruption among top officials who have nothing to offer.

He told host Oheneba Boamah Bennie that Ghana's woes are a result of the insensitivity of Akufo-Addo and his top appointees who, he alleged, had put themselves and their families first to the detriment of the suffering taxpayers who put them in office to serve with dignity.

"The NPP today is full of corrupt and evil people... If you go to every sector of the economy, the level of thievery and pilfering is scary, and we the citizens are the ones suffering from the arrogant and profligate lifestyle of these non-performing appointees," Kusi stated.

"Just imagine the hardship the people are going through all because someone who is paid and cushioned to steer the affairs of the country is underperforming."

"Today, about 194,000 people have completed junior high school but did not have access to secondary education because their parents were not financially strong enough to foot the initial bills under the free SHS policy, yet millions of dollars have been pumped into the national cathedral, which remains a hole till now," he recounted while urging Ghanaians to reject the New Patriotic Party (NPP) led by Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia as its flagbearer.

Mr. Kusi went on to say, "If I were a member of the NPP, I would always cover my head in shame all because of Akufo-Addo and Bawumia's incompetence."

"Corruption has been normalized under this government to the point that 12 million dollars meant for the Pwalugu irrigation project cannot be accounted for, yet they are telling us to allow them to govern us again. They think Ghanaians are fools," he posited.

"People are losing their capital due to the depreciation of the cedi against major trading currencies. How much is the price of cement today? A bag of cement was about 18 cedis in 2016, but it is 125 cedis in Sunyani currently," he said while reminding Ghanaians of the many promises to improve the lives of Ghanaians by Akufo-Addo.

"They promised stable fuel prices, but Ghanaians cannot buy fuel today. We have to reject these thieves who have captured everything that belongs to the state and return the NDC and former president John Mahama to government to put Ghana on the right path," Kusi urged.
