The governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) has been
accused of subjecting Ghanaians to hardship.
According to the Director of Elections of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Mr Elvis Afriyie Ankrah, the Akufo-Addo-led government has failed to advance the development of Ghana because members in the government complain a lot.
“Talk is too cheap for NPP. When they were in opposition, they were always talking and ranting about unnecessary issues and now we have handed power over to you and you are still complaining. I think NPP is still in their campaign mood. Always complaining and comparing their term to us,” he said on Asempa FM’s Ekosi Sen, Thursday.
