Time To Rewrite The NPP Manifesto Again

At a lecture at a lecture at the University of Cape Coast, Vice President Paa Kwesi Bekoe Amissah-Arthur once again shredded the NPP’s manifesto promises into pieces.

The lecture themed: ‘The Economy: Strengthening Teaching and Research in Economics for Nation Building’ was one he delivered to Economics students of the university

Mr Amissah –Arthur in his lecture showed mastery skills as he described the manifesto of the New Patriotic Party as unrealistic, adding that it is meant to deceive and misdirect the electorates.

The Vice Prescient described as reckless the economic programmes contained in the manifesto of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP).

He bemoaned the lack of gratitude by the NPP in not recognizing the economic gains made in the last eight years by the NDC in their manifesto.

Mr Amissah -Arthur said not even the “physical manifestations” like the massive infrastructure developments  that have taken place in the cities  and across all the regions  found their way into the manifesto of the opposition party.

He added that “we did an analysis of that paper and we noticed that in the first part there are some very populist policies.”

From the NDC point of view, he claimed that the NPP wants to introduce  an unfortunate political streak sustained majorly by lies, character assassination, false alarm, wild allegations, and lately visual simulation, all in the desperation to deceive and misdirect the judgment of the electorates.

He stated that when you take a look at the NPP manifesto there is no philosophical underpinnings in their manifesto  compared to that of the NDC party.

The Vice president stated that for the NDC to move from a budget deficit of 12% in 2012 to about 6% today means that, there is fiscal consolidation .

Vice President Kwesi Amissah Arthur said  looking at the intents of NPP and their preaching,  it's a reckless way of spending public finances and someone needs to stop them in  their tracks “and the only way we can stop them is to vote for H.E. John Dramani Mahama in &th December 2016.”

He stated that the NDC is seeking to provide an environment that will help grow small scale and medium enterprises and to also roll out policies that will create direct employment opportunities for the youth.

He said this would be done through the provision of direct credits to the informal sector adding that “lot of our unemployed graduates shall be employed in that sector going forward.”
