‘Incompetence’ under NDC ‘unrivalled’ – Lord Hamah

Ghanaians witnessed unprecedented incompetence in the last eight years that the National Democratic Congress (NDC) was in power, a young outspoken member of the party, Lord Hamah has said.

“The NDC record in government is a scandal,” Mr Hamah wrote in a tirade, adding: “We need to accept that to move forward.”

“For eight years, especially the last four years, we witnessed a kind of political incompetence unrivalled in Ghana's history,” he observed.

Related to this, he said, “was the intoxication that took over the heads of youthful government appointees.”

He said under Mr John Mahama as president, “there was no collective governance.”

The NDC, Mr Hamah noted, “became a slavish whore to state power.”

“Key power brokers who were fattening on the foliage of state life did not even have any idea on the location of the national party office, not to talk of their constituency offices!” he added.

According to him, the 13-member committee – which he described as a corpse-dressing committee – formed by the NDC to investigate the party’s loss in the 2016 elections, is “only meant to rehabilitate a leadership that has failed Ghana.”

“The claim that the present NDC leadership is social democratic is not scientific. It is based on self-proclaimed righteousness backed by a deadly cocktail of incoherent pseudo revolutionary principles.

“How could you come to terms with the fact that in 2016 JM stabbed the people of Ghana in the back by selling out ECG by a certificate of urgency in parliament ratifying the concession agreement with MIDA?

“The entire leadership of the NDC needs to be wiped out. The December 2016 polls did part of the work in cleaning up the party, the rest should done at an early Congress....!!” he said.
