In a scathing address at the launch of the Party Youth Manifesto, Lawyer Opare Addo, National Youth Organizer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), accused the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) of bribing the media to conceal their incompetence and corruption. Apexnewsgh reports
According to Addo, the government is pumping millions of cedis into the media to create a distorted reality, downplaying the hardships faced by Ghanaians. He cited examples of the government’s extravagance, including the President’s use of a private jet at $17,000 an hour, while citizens struggle with basic needs like healthcare and employment.
Addo highlighted the stark contrast between the government’s priorities and the people’s concerns. He mentioned the scandalous importation of condoms worth 3.9 million cedis, the disappearance of 12 million cedis worth of fertilizer, and the appointment of friends and family to high positions, despite the country’s economic struggles.
The NDC Youth Organizer condemned the government’s response to criticisms, including a 400% increase in salaries and allowances for the Ghana gas cylinder manufacturing company, and a $40 million expenditure on tourism capacity building. He emphasized that the NPP’s actions demonstrate a callous disregard for the welfare of Ghanaians, particularly the youth.
“The President responds by hiring a private jet at $17,000 an hour. When we tell them, young people struggle with our jobs, they answer you by appointing your friends and family into high places. We cry about increasing food prices every day, they answer by blowing 3.9 million on the importation and buy of condoms. We complain that times are hard and there is no food on the market. We wake up to a scandal of 12 million worth of fertilizer vanishing. We complain about higher rents, and they respond by installing elected conditions in a two-bedroom house. And as if that is not enough, the owner of the two-bedroom house is appointed board chairman, just to tell you that they don’t care about you. We criticize them. We criticize them for price increases, and they increase the salaries and Allowances of the Ghana gas cylinder manufacturing company by a whopping 400% this is what the ekufado Mahmud is giving to all of us when we cry more. They top it up by playing $40 million on capacity building for tourism. Young people cry for daily bread, and they give us daily scandals”.
