NPP's policies are making govt unpopular-NPP MP

The Ghanaian Voice carries that it is the view of the Hon. P.C. Appiah Ofori, MP for Assikuma/Odoben/Brakwa constituency that his own party, the New Patriotic Party is pursuing certain programmes and policies which are inflicting hardship on the people that will make the government unpopular and threaten the nation’s infant democracy being built.

In a five-page document the NPP MP is said to have attacked certain loan agreements contracted by the ruling NPP because the conditionalities attached to them are not in the best interest of the country.

In a memo dated August 15, Hon Appiah Ofori cited Tema Oil Refinery, Electricity Company of Ghana and Ghana Water Company as being the pain in the neck of the economy.

He writes, “in other words some people connected with these companies should continue to enrich themselves, be inefficient, wasteful and the generality of Ghanaians called upon to make good the loss”.

He further described the Kufuor government’s handling of the economy as pouring water into a leaking tank.
