The Ashanti Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party, Mr. Bernard Antwi Boasiako, has questioned the sincerity of former president Mahama’s statement, purporting that Preisdent Akufo-Addo, has solely appointed his family members to occupy key positions in his government.
Ex-president Mahama is on record to have said that current developments where family members of President Akufo-Addo have been appointed to occupy key government positions makes a mockery of the NPP's criticisms of him [Mahama] when the party was in opposition.
But Mr. Bernard Antwi Boasiako has refuted the claims of the former president stating that it doesn’t interest President Akufo-Addo to fix only his family members at positions Mr. Mahama would consider as “juicy”.
According to the Regional Chairman, every member serving Ghana under President Akufo-Addo was properly assessed before given a position.
“I can bet my last penny that even if President Akufo-Addo decided to surround himself with toddlers from his family, they would be much competent than ex-president Mahama when it comes to governance and protecting the public purse”, he said.
Mr. Boasiako went on to state that through the able stewards President Akufo-Addo had surrounded himself with, the NPP government has been able to roll out the free Senior High School program.
Speaking to Peacefmonline.com, he asserted that in the last ‘18 months, the Akufo-Addo government has created several jobs in the following sectors :
1. 100,000 NABCO
2. 15,000 YEA Police
3. 19,000 GES plus additional 8,000
4. 20,000 Cocobod pollination.
5. 30,000 Forestry Commission
6. 1300 Agric Extension Officers
7. 3000 Arabic Teachers
8. 1500 Drainage Management
9. 627 at Ghana Airports Co. Ltd
10. 40 at Ghana Civil Aviation Authority.
11. 1450 at Local Government Service.
12. 103 at DVLA
13. 623 at GHAPOHA!
14. 5,679 at NBSSI.
15. 6475 at Ghana School Feeding.
16. 600 M&E Assistants at YEA.
17. 56, 991 Codapec Spray Gangs at COCOBOD.
What did Mahama do? He surrounded himself with his brother, the entire extended family of his wife, close friends and sycophants. He was always in the company of people who knew nothing about governance and hardcore thieves. Their main strategy was to always to steal from Ghana”, Mr. Boasiako said.

Chairman, save your breath Mahama himself knows he is no match to Nana Addo.He is only doing propaganda for NDC to consider him
There is no way Ghana can make any meaningful headway in the economy with NPP in power. Corruption in now worse than ever. They are now creating unnecessary positions in the civil and public service just to steal. They fill in these positions with incompetent party members, and relatives just to steal . The public purse is now being emptied instead of protecting it.
NPP or NDC politics both parties have akrofoo in them. Some atta ayi type some diplomatic robbery.
Ghana politics. Yet they run to church & praise almighty God. Wotumi remember life has so many necessities. Right now you look more like a grown ***barred word***.
Holy gangsta, in 2009 what was the inflation,idi*t! ndc took Ghana from lower middle income group in 2009 to HIPC in 2017 what are you talking about? when you took ghc1.20 -$1.00 in 2009 and left it miserable in ghc4.5 -$1.00 in 2017 and you expect a m*gic wand to reverse it to where you took it in 2009?it is depreciating because of ndc mismanagement of 8 years, the shocks you left is what Ghanaians are experiencing now! Nkwase*fuo, you think this your cheap propaganda is funny and will help you? Do you know how long it took America to clean out the debris of the world Trade Center? the economy that the ndc left was like the debris the terrorists attack left at the world Trade center! ndc are not the ones to talk about inflation not at all,because you are a disaster in economics. Ndc has no shame! one thing about your ndc party not being attractive is (1) lies (2) deceit (3) propaganda (4) equalization (5)***barred word*** (6) unpatriotism (7) anti-Ghana and (8) untruthful

Oseadeayo Nana Addo Dankwah Akufo Addo is a gentleman, well brought up from an elite home so has no time to respond to uncivil people, but we those who were also born from compound houses like them will face it off one on one! saaaa!
You this Chairman Wontumi, you talk anyhow because you just feel like talking. Competent my ***barred word***. Look at how the US Dollar and other currencies are stamping over the Cedi and how things are ***barred word*** up in the country. The most annoying one is the Double Track educational system. What the fuck is that?? 2020 dey come so be there and talk anyhow you like...***barred word***
wuntumi or whatever you called yourself the last time i could remember before the incompetent Mahama was leaving power we were leaving well and though some of us were complaining of hardship but we were far far better than the states you and your competent men has brought us. in fact some of us have regretted voting for NANA. we should have manage the incompetent Mahama like that. you guys should wake up and work and stop making noise. people want to kill themselves because of the hardship we are in now.
Wasn't it Nana Addo and his people who coined the phrase 'family and friends government?' so what is wrong with Mahama using it as a yardstick to judge Nana Addo? those who live in a glass don't throw stones, hahahaaaa!
if mahama can stoop so low and put out such a statement,then it is within wontumi's right to give an appropriate response. mahama could not give even one example of akufo addo's relative he has appointed in his government.he makes such a sweeping statement which the journalists take and run with. mahama really needs to be advised to speak and act like a statesman. so far his behaviour and conduct have been as disappointing as his FAILED PRESIDENCY.
