The opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) flourishes on lies and propaganda according to the North East Regional Secretary of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP), Lawyer Sulley Sambian.

He observes that since the NDC has made lying its habit and therefore resorts to it anytime it is faced with the realities, the governing party will continue to expose them with facts and figures to counter the falsehood peddled.

Addressing the media on Wednesday to set the records straight on a number of allegations levelled against the party and Vice President, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, the NPP scribe wondered why the NDC believes lying is the only way it could be seen as a responsible opposition party.

Lawyer Sulley Sambian said at the event covered by MyNewsGh.com” the NDC is known to be a political party founded on lies. They glorify propaganda. It did not come to us as a surprise when in their press conference they decided to engage in outright lies”

The NDC at an earlier press conference, had claimed that a number of health facilities in the region had been closed down due to the unavailability of drugs for healthcare delivery.

But the NPP at their press conference discounted the claims indicating that it was an outright lie told by the NDC in pursuance of a cheap political agenda as the facts on ground contradict what was put out.

“Wulugu Health centre that so much cacophony was made by the NDC was built by His excellency, President John Agyekum Kufuor. It was deserted in 2009 by his Excellency President John Evans Atta Mills and John Mahama. In 2017 it was renovated and refurbished by His Excellency Alhaji Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia. The Wulugu Health centre is operational and the staff are actively going about their professional duties. The Health centre is stocked with medicines and medical equipment for health care delivery. The media can also contact the medical superintendent in charge, Mr. Chris Agyeman for details. Mr. Agyeman even mentioned some names of persons who visited the facility for treatment even on the very day the press conference was addressed by these junior incompetent ones”, he revealed.
