(SOURCE) JOY ONLINE:------------------------------The National Democratic Congress has more than doubled Ghana’s debt in four years but it has very little or nothing to show for it, New Patriotic Party Member of Parliament for Obuasi, Kweku Kwarteng, has said.

According to him, after government increased Ghana’s debt from $8 billion dollars in 2009 to $17 billion in 2012; after enjoying oil proceeds, the first government in Ghana’s history, after enjoying windfalls in cocoa prices and gold prices the only evidence NDC has to show for these huge inflows are power cuts, water crisis, gas shortages and unemployment.

The Obuasi MP said his constituents have for over ten months not had water flow through their taps and there has not been any official explanation for it.

He said the whole country has been plunged into darkness with government sources and spokespersons providing contradictory dates as to when the power cuts will come to an end.

He made these assertions on MultiTV and Joy FM’s news analysis programme Newsfile on Saturday.

What is worse, Kweku Kwarteng added, the country is operating a huge budget deficit of $8.7 billion up from $6.6 billion in 2008 but with nothing to show for the expenditure.

He said whilst the citizenry are suffering, government and other state institutions are blowing the country’s money through unnecessary overspending.

According to him, the presidency alone over spent over GHC600 million without consulting Parliament.

Kweku Kwarteng also accused the government of completely running down the Tema Oil Refinery (TOR) with the view to privatising it and has failed to account for the TOR recovery levy which was imposed by the NPP to offset the TOR debt incurred as a result of subsidy on fuel prices.

NHIS is on a verge of collapse. Some hospital won't even accept it due to nonpayment from the government. If only the Beninians know how phony this government really are & how bad things are getting.

Mahama persuaded President Yayi Boni(Benin) to come to Ghana and meddle in politics. We all know that the NHIS is failing and yet Yayi Boni sent in his people just to come to Ghana to tell us that our NHIS is fantastic. This Boni was the same man who was going all over the world telling people that Ghana's election was free and fair. He also tried to persuade Akuffo Addo to accept he results of the elects. Certainly Boni is very discredited. Both Mahama and Boni should be ashamed of their actions.

Are these Benin people blind or deaf about what's happening now? Dr's are in strike because they are not being paid by the NHIS. These people should ask the Dr's who are offering the program or the average Ghanaian if the NHIS is working for them. Don't go hung around politicians who will paint a perfect picture for you mean while they might not even know what's actually going on. Ghana has no money to run this NHIS thing.

Yes it is a good policy but very poor implementation by ndc cants. They sure show you the health policy but not the true figures on the ground.
