National Patriotic Party [NPP] 2016 running mate Dr. Mahamadu Bawumia has described President Mahama’s led administration as a bad choice for the state.
Speaking to residents of Savulugu in the Northern Region as part of his campaign tour, Dr. Bawumia accused the ruling government of causing untoward hardship in the country;
“The problems we are having today are from three particular related issues, that is mismanagement, incompetence and corruption …..Those are the three problems in Ghana today that is why we need a change from the mismanagement, incompetence and corruption…. all these three things lead to unemployment which we are suffering from now… The Mahama government has been a very bad experiment for Ghana …. This government has become a nightmare for Ghanaians and this is why we need to vote for Nana Addo Danquah Akuffo Addo to change the tried and tested person who has no integrity and vision…
…We are going to build a new economy and that is going to create jobs , we have the plan to solve unemployment … you will see a major change in the agricultural sector, industrialization and the one district, one factory policy we are going to reduce taxes for companies to survive”.
Meanwhile, Vice President Paa Kwesi Amissah-Arthur in addressing students of the Cape Coast polytechnic had this to say: “In the NPP’s published manifesto, they have put in about 63 proposals of which eight of them are revenue proposals to reduce revenues and when I calculated the revenue loss that their manifesto proposes I get something like 6.2 billion Ghana cedis, if they were running the government this year from the reductions in tax rate and so on. In addition, they have also introduced 21 billion of new expenditures, so together with the 6.2 billion Ghana cedis in revenue loss and an increase in expenditure projects; we are talking of an additional 27 billion cedis loss to the state”.
