The Minority in Parliament has launched a fierce criticism of the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC), accusing the party of misleading Ghanaians with false promises made to secure victory in the 2024 general elections.
During the debate on the second batch of President John Dramani Mahama’s ministerial nominees on Tuesday, January 21, Minority Leader, Alexander Afenyo-Markin, condemned the NDC’s campaign rhetoric.
While expressing doubts about the government’s ability to fulfill its promises, Afenyo-Markin assured that the Minority would hold the government accountable for its commitments.
He cautioned that electoral victory does not equate to unchecked authority, emphasizing that the Minority would rigorously monitor the government’s actions to ensure transparency and accountability.
The Minority Leader also criticized the NDC’s campaign promises as unrealistic, warning that Ghanaians would soon recognize the ruling party’s true intentions. He questioned the government’s ability to meet the high expectations set during the election period.
“We will hold your feet to the fire. You think you campaigned and got it handed to you on a silver platter? You will see. You call us a micro Minority, but you will see,” he stated.
Afenyo-Markin concluded by reaffirming his caucus’s commitment to tracking every promise made by the NDC during the campaign, ensuring they are not left unfulfilled.
“Today, you are in government, and we will follow through on every single promise you made while on the campaign platform,” he added.
