Mr. Yaw Osafo Marfo, former Minister of Education, Youth and Sports has noted that the National Democratic Congress (NDC) failed to tell Ghanaians the truth about the sound socio-economic foundation laid by the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in its eight-year term.

He said upon this disservice to the people, they were able to win the 2008 election to form a government to create economic hardships for Ghanaians who are now yearning to vote the NPP back to power to restore their hopes.

Mr. Osafo Marfo, who is also the former Member of Parliament for Oda, made the assertion when he addressed NPP members and supporters at the launch of the NPP campaign and to introduce Mr. Eugine Sackey as the NPP parliamentary candidate for Adeiso in the Upper West Akim District, at Adeiso.

He told the NPP supporters that it is now time for them to unite and find ways and means of explaining and selling the party’s agenda to Ghanaians, especially on the free school education, job creation, construction of roads to link poor communities and others, which are being propagated by the flag-bearer, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.

The former minister said the NDC government has no better future for the youth who cannot get jobs, whilst traders complain about low market turn out “because there was no money in the pockets of workers.”

He appealed to Ghanaians to vote for the NPP to free them from the hardships. Mr. Kennedy Agyepong, MP for Assin North said if Ghanaians vote for the NPP in the forthcoming election, they would see the difference in good governance as compared to the bad one being experienced under the NDC and their false promises.

He told the NPP supporters that they should not “sit down unconcerned while the NDC government mismanages and squander the tax payer monies”.
