... Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, the New Patriotic Party’s running mate to Nana Akufo-Addo, has remarked that the John Mahama government seems to be more committed to themselves and schemes that will make their pockets fatter than in delivering on their core mandate of developing the nation and reducing the hardships of the people.
Dr Bawumia observed that this seems to be the reason why there is always money for scandalous schemes and projects that obviously end up enriching officials and cronies of the government, but there is always none when it comes to money for development and social investment.
Nana Akufo-Addo’s running mate made the comments in Offinso in the Ashanti Region on the first day of his three-day tour of the region.
He said “the NDC came to meet a debt of GHS9.5billion, which had been accrued from1957 to 2008, but in only 8 years the NDC has moved our debt from GHS9.5billion to GHS110 billion. 90% of Ghana’s debt has, therefore, been accrued just in these last eight years. Again, when one sums up all the taxes and loans, the NPP accrued onlyGHS20 billion for all the work we did. The NDC in eight years have had GHS248 billion from loans and taxes.”
Dr. Bawumia wondered why after so much resources, the NDC had still succeeded in making times hard for the ordinary Ghanaian and ended up collapsing almost all social intervention programmes.
“Despite all these resources, however, this government cannot pay what it has to pay to the National Health Insurance Authority (NHIA), it cannot sustain the School Feeding Programme, National Youth Employment Programme or Free Maternal Care programme; they have cancelled Teacher Training and Nursing Training Allowances, they are owing contractors and cannot pay the School Feeding Grants too,” he said.

Press Statement
The Movement for Democracy and National Unity ,The Forum for Truth and Social Justice, United Cadres Front and The Socialist Forum is calling on all the National Security Agencies to stop the planning and carrying operations and attacks on politicians by sabotaging them at home and trailing them abroad, and using security personnel to harass them before, during and after the elections.
Ghana needs peace and unity before during and after the 2016 elections .We cannot understand why our National Security Agencies want to be engaging in acts that are like to undermine our democratic credentials and undermine the state.
Credible information to us show that Mr Baba Kamara, the National Security Co-ordinator, Mr Pius Awelinga, Director the Bureau of National Investigations (BNI) and Mr J.C. Ackon, Head of the External Research Department which is Ghana’s foreign intelligence agency, are secretly travelling around the world mobilising military equipment, holding secret meetings with defence attaches’ and information counsellors at Ghanaian Embassies to support a dirty tricks campaign against leading politicians.
We have sighted documents that show They have been instructed to investigate the business and political links of Dr Papa Kwasi Nduom, the leader of the Progressive Peoples Party, Mr Martin Amidu, a leading member of the NDC ,Mr Sylvester Mensah ,Campaign Coordinator of the Greater Accra Campaign Committee of the NDC and Dr Ekow Spio Garbrah Minister of Trade and Industry.
Another document titled restricted and confidential signed by Mr JC Ackon in particular authorises embassy personnel to infiltrate the political overseas branches of the opposition CPP ,NPP and PPP.
There has been of late a concerted effort to undermine the credibility of opposition leader Nana Akufo Addo , Dr Mahamadu Bawumia, Former Presidents Kufuor and Former President Rawlings using all kinds of surrogate groups and clandestine operations. This will not augur well for the peace and security of the nation.
Currently these Security Capos, who have already secretly visited the USA and Canada, are in the UK holding meetings with security officials with a high profile meeting scheduled for Tuesday to discuss ways and means to undermine and discredit persons considered a threat to President Mahama and launch attacks.
We believe that our Security capos have no need to be engaging in such subversive acts and we wonder why they will be prepared to risk the peace of the nation. Already we are hearing some members of the armed forces and the security agencies are not very happy about these travels.
We call on Parliament, the National Council of State and the National Peace Council to sit up and call these security capos to order .This is not a time for our Security Agencies to be working in anybody’s individual interest. They must put Ghana’s interests first, stop their clandestine activities abroad and return home and work to ensure we have peaceful elections.
Ghana‘s peace and security is not a football to be kicked about!

Our manifesto will be judged by the people. It is true when people are in power they loose touch with the people. Ask what your manifesto has done. In the past 8 years you could not create jobs, ask people if they are able to pay school fees, whether people can afford a meal for their families and you have a nerve to say NPP 'S manifesto is not good. All you have done is create loot and share with impunity. Don't worry come December 7 you will see who has been clever. Nana Addo will put a lot of you guys behind bars. Vote Nana Addo to clean the rot ndc has brought upon this country. Nana Addo b3ba, change is coming

You misappropriated our money to rebrand buses with your images, and when we complained, you called our bluffs and vowed to do even more. You then proceeded to use our money to rebrand the whole of Ghana with your giant billboards and campaign posters. Every nook and cranny of this country has been rebranded with John Mahama's campaign billboards and NDC Parliamentary Candidates for the various Constituencies.
Well, President Mahama wants every Ghanaian to see him everywhere, hence his decision to mount those giant billboards which are very expensive. Okay, we want to tell him that YES we see those billboards, but we also see CORRUPTION. We see those billboards, but we also see INCOMPETENCE. We see those billboards, but we also see SUFFERING. We see those billboards, but we also see MISMANAGEMENT.... Samira Bawumia added.
