NPP Member of Parliament defends NDC

The New Patriotic Member of Parliament for Atwiama Kwabigya, Mr Kwesi Ankomea Kyeremanteng, has stated that although the former National Democratic Congress (NDC) government committed some errors whilst in power, it is however, not fair for anybody to claim that they did not do anything for the country.

The NDC, in line with its ideologies and party manifesto did what they could but that was not sufficient to take the nation out of the wood, he said. Addressing the congregation of the Salvation Army Church of which he is a member at Osino in the Fanteakwa District of the Eastern Region over the weekend, Mr Kyeremanteng, asked Ghanaians not to condemn wholesale the performance of the former government.

He contended that there were serious problems the NDC could not solve, adding that the current government was making efforts to rebuild the nation's fortune and put it on the road to economic recovery.

He said the problems left unsolved by the NDC government are those currently engaging the attention of the government of the NPP, some of which, he said, required painstaking attention. Mr Kyeremanteng therefore, said as untrue assertions being made to the effect that President Kufuor had failed in tacking the problems.
