Tamale, Sept 16, GNA – The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has described the government as corrupt incompetent, uncaring, greedy and hypocritical government that must be voted out of power and appealed to the people to vote the government out of office in 2012.

It said for the past three years, the youth had been forced to do three years of wait-and-see and they are now suffering with no jobs and that while the people suffer, those in power are suddenly becoming rich with big cars and putting up mansions.

Mr. John Krugu, the Deputy National Organizer of the NPP, said this at a press conference in Tamale on Thursday.

He said the government had only three months left in 2011 yet the “Action Year” declared by the President had not been fulfilled.

He said the only action people could see were the springing up of big houses being built by government appointees.

Mr Krugu alleged that these houses are being built with the 10 billion-dollar loan approved by Parliament, adding that if the 10 billion dollars were shared equally among Ghanaians, each region would have one billion dollars and each district would receive 60 million dollars.

“We have solid information that the 2012 budget that would be read in two months time will contain false and deceptive allocations for SADA. We are told that they will give as much as 200 million dollars for SADA”, Mr. Krugu alleged and cautioned Ghanaians not to be fooled by that because the government had no intention of spending even 20 million and that it was a mere propaganda.

He said the NDC was a party of propaganda, lies and hypocrisy saying that when Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo and the NPP brought a comprehensive programme to transform the north christened the Northern Development Authority, the NDC stole it to deceive the people without its vision.

“Where is the promised better Ghana, where is the much talk about SADA and where is the one time premium health insurance?”

Mr Krugu said President John Atta Mills cut a sod for a sports stadium in Bolgatanga in 2009 but that has not come to fruition as well as the Fulfulso road that Vice President John Mahama promised when he was looking for votes.

Mr. Krugu said the government had woefully failed to make use of its previous experience in governance to accelerate the development of Ghana not even after inheriting a vastly expanded economy from the NPP.

He appealed to Ghanaians to substitute the current administration and replace it with Nana Akufu-Addo who has good vision for the country with education being the top priority.

Borrowing words from NPP flagbearer, he said “it is not natural resources that build nations but people and that it is the people of Ghana that the NPP intend to use in building the country.”
