Things would have been worse with the NDC – Korsi Bodja

As the New Patriotic Party (NPP) marks its first year in government,many scholars and political analyst have given varied verdicts of the Nana Akufo-Addo led administration.

Korsi Bodja, the NPP Volta regional director of election has said that, the plight of Ghanaians would have been worse had the National Democratic Congress (NDC) continued in power.

"imagine parents were still paying fees for their wards in Senior High School (SHS) and teacher and nursing trainee allowances were not restored as promised, children would have been sold by their parents to raise cash".

According to him,the Free Senior High School policy has saved parents the burden of borrowing money to pay school fees as well as buy the needed items for school.

He added that social intervention programmes initated by the Nana Addo led government has brought a lot of relief to households.

According to him, the NDC left a lot of debt in almost all sectors of the economy making it difficult for the government to fully implement it’s manifesto promises

"NDC couldn’t even pay its own women organizers it gave the School Feeding Programs to and they have the guts to even organize press conference to demand for the arrears their own government left, it is a shame" he said.

Narrating his experience in the 2016 election to GhanaWeb, Mr. Bodja indicated that it took the vigilance and coordination of the NPP to win the elections.

He recounted how they had to counter the many attempts of the NDC to rig the elections

"There were people(contractors) whose role was to bring people from neighboring Togo, give them house numbers, get them registered on our Electoral roll and keep their voter Identification (ID) cards for election day but we took steps to prevents these from occurring" he said.

Mr. Bodja asked Ghanaians to remain hopeful and be patient with the government as it will not only deliver on its promises but also prosecute functionaries of the erstwhile administration who ‘stole’ monies that were meant for the development of the people.
