Former Government Statistician, Grace Afua Bediako has bemoaned the practice in the country where political promises derail already marked down plans by the state.
According to her some of the promises made are off the roof and excessive despite the fact that the state takes pain to put in place plans.
“Most of the objectives and gargets we plan are set-aside and priorities given to political promises which change our plans despite the fact that we have policy framework in place”.
She further pointed out that the practice throws away the framework for national development and as a nation we need to take a critical look at it if we want a sustainable development.
Mrs. Bediako made this remarks when she participated in a forum organised by the Ministry of Parliamentary Affairs that brought together Independent Governance Institutions in Accra on the theme, “Independent Governance Institutions and the 2020 elections in Ghana some reflections”.
