NPP has fulfilled 70% of their promises – John Boadu

General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), John Boadu has made his assessment of key commitments and propositions of the ruling NPP in which he believes the party has fulfilled 70% of their campaign promises.

He said the Akufo Addo administration has begun fulfilling its campaign promises, adding that he will fulfill every single promise he made on the campaign trail in the 2016 election.

He stressed, “when we came into office, we were met with huge debts and no money. It is for this reason that we put in place the appropriate measures to strengthen our monetary system, so the development we promised the people can be met.” John Boadu exclusively told Kwame Tutu on Anopa Nkomo on Accra based Kingdom FM 107.7.

‘The Government of President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo is absolutely on course. We are systematically working to deliver on each of our promises’, John Boadu emphasized.

He also reiterated his government’s commitment towards the provision of the requisite infrastructure for businesses of the transport unions and transport owners to thrive.

He noted that the government has ensured that the country’s finances have been placed on a solid footing, and are gaining strength to ensure the fulfillment of his government’s promises.

According to John Boadu, the NPP’s ability to deliver on so many promises in just two and a half years is an indication of what the party can do for Ghanaians if maintained in power.

NPP has enviable record of expanding economy - John Boadu

The General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), John Boadu, has alluded that the NPP’s opportunity of being in office for less than 3 years has an enviable record of increasing the size of the economy which has unprecedentedly brought comfort to the Ghanaian populace. He noted that there was the need for all well-meaning Ghanaians to ensure that the party stayed in power for several years as that was the surest way of rebuilding the nation. ‘President Nana Addo inherited a tattered economy from the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and in less than 3 years, he has expanded the economy’, John Boadu told Kwame Tutu on Anopa Nkomo on Accra based Kingdom FM 107.7 in an exclusive studio interview. He has asked the Ghanaian electorate to make a dispassionate comparison of the economic performances of the two leading political parties to propel an excellent decision to maintain the NPP in 2020. The ruling party’s General Secretary reiterated that governance was about social inclusion, good governance, creating jobs for the people, ensuring better incomes and housing for workers, as well as consolidating the economic gains made so far, and not resorting to propaganda and deception. ‘The NPP government would continue to implement social interventions that would inure to the benefit of Ghanaians, and mentioned the port reforms, the Free Senior High School policy, reduction of the benchmark values of imports, payment of the National Health Insurance subscriptions, capitation grants, among others,’ he noted. John Boadu, therefore, urged Ghanaians to be alert and cross-check facts, and not to rely on figures that did not have any credibility, especially when it’s coming from the NDC. The NPP General-Secretary was of the conviction that the NDC has discredited record on the management of the economy and they could not pose credible facts to challenge the Nana Addo led government, hence they have resorted to lies and propaganda to throw the dust into the eyes of Ghanaians.

Mahama Is Peerless When It Comes To Dabbling In Corruption – John Boadu

General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), John Boadu has disclosed that the alleged acts of corruption being recorded in the Akufo-Addo led government pales in comparison to what occurred under the erstwhile Prez Mahama administration. He says President Nana Addo has taken bold actions to deal with corruption, a feat former Prez Mahama could not boast of when he was in office. Speaking on Okay FM’s 'Ade Akye Abia' program on the recent Public Procurement Authority (PPA) scandal, the NPP scribe added that he was very optimistic the NPP government will end corruption in the country."It is very annoying to realize that a government and the President is trying very hard to end corruption, but you have few individuals who dabble in corruption, he said."...former President Mahama was himself corrupt so there’s no way he (Mahama) can ever discuss corruption let alone have the temerity to fight it should he even in the unlikeliest situation be elected into office again," he added. He has asked Ghanaians to remain calm until the Special Prosecutor and CHRAJ boss are done with their investigations. The suspended Chief Executive of the PPA, Adjenim Boateng Adjei has been the subject of scrutiny and investigations in the past as records suggest a Justice Adade committee set up to investigate a report by the Chief Internal Auditor of Ghana Water Company Limited (GWCL) in 2003 recommended he should be prosecuted for misusing public funds. According to the report, Mr. Ajenim Boateng Adjei and 3 others were recommended for prosecution for misusing "an amount of GHC72.5m so they should be investigated and prosecuted for causing financial loss to the state.” President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo on Thursday, August 22, 2019, suspended from office, with immediate effect, Mr. Adjei after he was unmasked in an exposé over the alleged sale of state contracts. Mr. Adjei, per Investigative journalist, Manasseh Azure Awuni's latest piece, “Contracts for Sale”, was said to have established his own company under the name Talent Discovery Limited incorporated in June 2017 which has won some government contracts through restrictive tendering. In the 46-minute video, it also emerged that the company was engaged in the sale of contracts and was ready to sell one worth a ¢22.3 million to a non-existent entity during an undercover investigation. A statement signed by Director of Communications at the Presidency, Eugene Arhin noted that President Akufo-Addo has subsequently, referred the allegations involving conflict of interest to the Commission on Human Rights and Administrative Justice (CHRAJ), and those relating to potential acts of corruption to the Office of Special Prosecutor, for their prompt action.
