The Minority would continue to put the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) government on its toes, Member of Parliament for Ashiaman Ernest Norgbey has pointed out.

According to the lawmaker, Ghanaians are in agreement with the continuous exposure of government’s corrupt activities by the Minority.

He further added that in the 2016 Presidential and Parliamentary election, corruption was what the then opposition NPP party used against the then ruling National Democratic Congress government that got them out of power.

Comparatively you would realize that the NPP government under the leadership of President Akufo-Addo is more corrupt, than they taunted the NDC government led by former President John Dramani Mahama.

“We would continue to push the agenda of exposing the rot in this government, the AMERI deal, army worm, procurement issues for Ghanaians to know they cannot trust this government”, he said in an interview.

“The Minority is really doing well, since this government came to power have you seen a single school block, hospital and road? Nothing”.

We would continue to question this administration looking at what is happening in our society, the unemployment rate is so bad, they are giving us more issues to talk about ahead of the 2020 Presidential and Parliamentary elections, we are just waiting for them to hand over issues to us, he pointed out.

Mr. Samuel George Nartey recounted that after the defeat of the NDC in the Presidential and Parliamentary elections in 2016, he noted that they were in a state of despair because of he lies that had been told and pedaled by many in the media.

Post election when calm had returned, members of the NDC realize that a lot of things had been said about John Mahama and his government that were lies, it started with the unity walks to bring back unity within the party, he said.

Again we have the Professor Kwasi Botwe committee that went round to listen to the grievances of the people, there had been a strategic plan to bring back the enthusiasms   within the NDC, it started with our branch elections we had a massive turn out.

“For the constituency elections, it was something else, now looking at what is happening in the various regions”, he said emphatically.
