NPP Lies Revealed

HUMPHREY MENSAH- REVEALS THE NPP LIES

There are very few people worth shedding tears for; those that are won’t make you cry and Professor Atta-Mills and the NDC is worth crying for.

I believe an authentic leader should be able to aspire to inspire before they expire and Professor Mills is that type of a leader. He is determined to take the country forward and I will appeal to all Ghanaians to vote massively for Professor Mills and the NDC come December for BETTER GHANA. He is ready to take mother Ghana to the next level. Most of the NPP gurus refer to the Professor as poodle forgetting that he was vice president and Veep has to help the president to initiate the policies of the country. These are all NPP LIES. No one can go back and make a new beginning, all we can do is begin now, and make a new ending. In the nutshell, is not how you start, but how you finish.

The NPP has been perpetuating that the Professor is a loser therefore he is not going to win. I will like to take this opportunity to assure Ghanaians that NDC has a better and a credible candidate than the NPP. NDC will welcome any kukrudites who would like to compare the two candidates and let’s see who is more credible, trustworthy, honest, transparent, and who has what it takes to take the country into the next level. Professor Mills has a proven record. Ladies and Gentlemen, never take someone for granted, hold every person close to your heart because you might wake up one day and realize that you have lost a diamond while you were too busy collecting stones. The NPP took the electorate for granted; they are busy amassing wealth for themselves and their families whiles citizens are hungry, dying of simple curable diseases like cholera, guinea worm, malaria, tuberculoses, diabetes etc. The NPP propaganda is busy insinuating fallacies and lies about the great party NDC and their able professor John Evans Atta-Mills.

VOTE ATTA-MILLS for BETTER GHANA. Please do not listen to the LIES OF THE NPP. The NPP is using the taxpayer’s money to fund Akuffo Addo’s campaign. I believe we all know what happened on June 4 in Washington DC, between 12noon and 2pm at the park Hyatt Washington, 24th and M street NW, the Whitaker Group coordinated a luncheon for Nana Akuffo Addo. It is a shame and really sad that the NPP is taking the electorates for granted.

VOTE THE NDC FOR A BETTER GHANA.

Today’s complex world calls for leaders who manage at the boundaries of the public and private sectors to bring about social change. Electorates I can assure you that Atta- Mills and the NDC will bring the kind of CHANGE you need. The Kukrudites (NPP) are pathological liars, cheaters, looters, corrupt, and callous. When you hear the NPP campaign team speaking ill about the great party NDC, please know that it is the pain of seeing a fumbling, clumsy, corrupt NPP marching systematically to the beat of 2008 Electoral defeat. They have done all within their shabby power to make NDC vanish from the political scenery of Ghana without success. They have collapsed any business known to be NDC sympathizer, fired all department heads known to be NDC members and most of all witch-hunting. NDC is still alive and kicking. We all saw what happened at the national theater when the affable John Dramani Mahama was outdoor. NDC is a formidable party for the people. VOTE ATTA-MILL FOR CHANGE. Reject NPP LIES. Now that they see steadily getting into shape to beat the NPP like a drum in December 2008, you will see pathetic declarations from people like failed Osafo Maafo, the disgraced Arthur Kennedy, disappointed Jake Obetsebi Lamptey, and their gay national organizer Lord Commey.

We are calling all Ghanaians to totally reject the NPP government come December elections. Vote for NDC for better Ghana. I believe by now Ghanaians have realized the level of deceit and bogus political agenda exhibited by the NPP government and take steps to halts those falsehoods. I therefore call on all the electorates to reject the NPP and their false propaganda intended to attract public awareness and remain empty on the ground. NPP LIES… They always boost of the implementation of the National Insurance Scheme and the Capitation Grant, but the fact of the matter is, majority of Ghanaians are not benefiting from the programs as were being taunted by the government’s propaganda machinery. Your parents must be NPP card holder to benefit from these programs. It takes almost a year before one could obtain NHIS card while Ghanaian children in private and even public schools in most of the regions are not enjoying the so-called capitation grant and so-called the school-feeding program so NPP LIES. How can you say that you are sharing the national cake equally. I don’t think Ghanaians should look undaunted while the government propagates falsehoods at the detriment of the people (we no go sit down make NPP cheat us everyday, daa bi da).

The kids of Ghana, the children and the youth are the only fragile legacy for this nation and we cannot stay unconcerned as their lives are in very serious danger. There is a need for transparent and decent political administration to provide social services to the people and that it is time for the nation to seriously invigorate its potentials and develop its resources to enhance the well being of the people. Atta-Mills and the NDC will provide that that transparency which he has already promised. Professor Mills will not preach virtue and practice vice meaning he is a man of his words. He is an astute and fine politician reject NPP LIES and VOTE ATTA-MILLS AND THE NDC FOR A BETTER GHANA. The NDC has developed a human centered social policy that would ensure the welfare of the citizenry and I am humbly appealing to Ghanaians to totally reject the NPP and vote massively for the NDC to ensure unity, stability, and development.

Professor Atta Mills and the NDC have an unambiguous and intrepid vision for Ghana’s economic future: a vigorous and fast growing economy which would change the economy into "middle-income status" in less than two decades. A vibrant and emergent economy is better able to adjust to unfavorable developments in the global economy, provide employment to the population, and to better wage the war on poverty. A primordial economic objective in an Atta Mills Presidency will be to significantly increase public savings and to set ambitious targets for public investments especially in productive infrastructure (energy, telecommunication, water, and road, rail, air, maritime transport) which tend to "crowd in" private sector investments into directly productive activities.

Professor Mills will rejuvenate or revitalize the educational system in order to produce the human resources needed to meet the challenges of the new millennium, wherever these challenges are found. Professor Mills will create and implement a National Education Strategy. Provide affordable education to ALL Ghanaians. Professor Mills will build a Ghana Health Service which provides a high standard of service to every citizen. NDC Government will support Primary Health Care. However equal emphasis will be placed on preventive as well as on curative medicine.

EYE ZU…EYE ZA…… VOTERS REJECT NPP LIES AND VOTE ATTA-MILLS AND THE NDC FOR A BETTER GHANA.
