Member of Parliament for Banda and first deputy Minority Whip, Ahmed Ibrahim, has said the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) should not be happy with the problems the current government New Patriotic Party (NPP) is facing.
According to the first deputy whip of the Minority, the current government is not interested and thinking of winning the 2020 Presidential and Parliamentary election.
“They have failed, so they are thinking about rigging the elections that is why they started with the agenda of sacking Charlotte Osei and the deputies”.
Mr. Ahmed Ibrahim noted that it was for the fear of them not performing and them knowing they are going to lose next year’s elections.
“Why is it that they are not campaigning in Ghana, Minister of Information Kojo Oppong Nkrumah and Majority Leader Osei-Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu, they are educating people in America and the United Kingdom about, Representation of People Act (ROPA).
He further questioned President Nana Akufo-Addo how many constituencies has he visited in Ghana?
Again, as a government who wants to retain power in 2020 any bad policies when Ghanaians complain they do it more, they are not ready for democracy, he stated.
“We had flooding in Ghana and Ghanaians were crying, meanwhile NADMO is crying out for relief items, but you pack two million Euros and you take it to France, towards rebuilding of a cathedra Notre-Dame.Convert the money into cedis do you know the amount of money it is almost thirteen million Ghana cedis”.
As to whether the action of government is not base on the fact that, it will get donor support from France, he responded in the interview that, it should not be at the expense of the very people who elected, “you”.
Kumasi your strong hold the market just got burnt you have not even gone there to visit them let alone to give them some relief items.
“If you can give France this amount of money, then Kumasi disaster people are there and nothing has happened to them”, he lamented.
