2021 Budget: NDC Twisting The Facts With Their Usual Propaganda
Political activist, NPP Abanga has asked the opposition NDC to stop twisting facts with their propaganda with the 2021 budget read by the Minister of Parliamentary Affairs, Hon. Osei Kyei Mensah-Bonsu on behalf of the Finance Minister-designate, Hon. Ken Ofori-Atta.
According to him, the NDC has decided to twist the budget and make it look like the government is asking the good people of Ghana to pay for the freebies they enjoyed during the peak of the Covid-19 pandemic.
"I find this distasteful and an attempt to paint the government of the day black in the eyes of Ghanaians, which must be condemned by all”, he said in statement copied to Peacefmonline.
NPP Abanga further iterated that; "Even though the government knew it was going to have dire consequences on our finances and the economy as a whole, the President made it clear that he knew how to recover the economy and not people from death, hence the tough decision to bring some reliefs to the people of Ghana.
Nevertheless, the NDC kicked against these freebies, because, they thought it will destroy their chance of winning power in the 2020 elections, so I am at a loss how they are all of a sudden acting like they care for the good people of Ghana."
He also urged Ghanaians to disregard the NDC propaganda but help the President to move Ghana to the promised land.

Read the full statement below;
Over the past few days, there have been some conversations about the 2021 budget, which was read by the Minister of Parliamentary Affairs, Hon. Osei Kyei Mensah-Bonsu on behalf of the Finance Minister-designate, Hon. Ken Ofori Atta. In this budget, the President in his own wisdom and having so much love for the country, introduced some new taxes to help the economy recover from the shocks and attack of the Covid-19 pandemic, which has engulfed even some world great economies into negative growth.
But in an attempt to score some cheap political points, the NDC has decided to twist the content of the budget and make it look like, the government is asking the good people of Ghana to pay for the freebies they enjoyed during the peak of the Covid pandemic. I find this distasteful and an attempt to paint the government of the day black in the eyes of Ghanaians, which must be condemned by all.
We all know that the free water, Lights, and other freebies are given by the President, was because of the economic struggles Ghanaians were facing during the pandemic and not for the sake of the 2020 elections as the NDC is making it look like. Even though the government knew it was going to have dire consequences on our finances and the economy as a whole, the President made it clear that he knew how to recover the economy and not people from death, hence the tough decision to bring some reliefs to the people of Ghana. Nevertheless, the NDC kicked against these freebies, because, they thought it will destroy their chance of winning power in the 2020 elections, so I am at a loss how they are all of a sudden acting like they care for the good people of Ghana.
It's worthy to note that, this tough decision by the government will help us recover the economy and bring back life to normalcy when the Covid-19 pandemic is finally over, hence, Ghanaians need to support the President to achieve this feet. Ghanaians must not give listening ears to the NDC because anything they say is full of propaganda and lies. The President care for the average Ghanaian, especially the youth and want to build a strong economy for the country so tye youth can have decent work to do.
We should therefore disregard and reject the propaganda of the NDC and help the President to move Ghana to the promised land. With God/Allah, we know this too shall pass and Ghana will get back to winning ways.
God bless President Nana Addo God bless NPP God bless Ghana
