NDC Washington Proud of Mahama's Performance

NDC Washington Metro Branch is Proud of President Mahama's sterling Debate

Performance.

The NDC Washington DC branch wishes to congratulate President John Dramani

Mahama for acquitting himself very credibly during the Presidential Debate

in Tamale, Ghana. The event which was watched by thousands of Ghanaians in

the Diaspora because it was streamed live via the Internet, saw the

President displaying an in depth knowledge of all the sectors of Ghana. We remain

very proud of the President's performance, we are encouraged that the

President clearly outlined the achievements and plans of government in the

agricultural, educational, health, energy, manpower (employment) sectors as

well as the NDC led administration's successful management of the economy. As

the president stated the NDC led government has reduced inflation to a

single digit and increased economic growth by double digits, governments’

investments in agriculture remains unprecedented. In education government has

not only established two universities, it has built 1700 elementary schools,

renovated hundreds of SHS schools increased salaries of teachers and the

capitation grants for SHS institutions.

It is our view that the President's in depth knowledge of the issues, as

compared to the NPP flag bearer who when asked for the source of his data

simply referred to the Internet as his source which shows clearly which party

is serious about the development of Ghana. The NPP's plans for education

is impractical and confused, all the NPP Presidential candidate could speak

to was Free SHS, he could not address the issue of teacher remuneration and

training, nor could he address the glaring deficits in infrastructure that

exists in Ghana's educational sector. Again and again the NPP flag bearer

was found wanting when faced with facts and figures, this was the case in

the areas of the National Health Insurance Scheme and the larger Health

sector, Agriculture, Energy and the Economy.

President Mahama remained cool, calm and presidential all through the

debate. His statements were backed with reliable figures which were from

official sources. Notwithstanding the unpresidential conduct and comments of Nana

Akuffo Addo, President Mahama maintained his composure and properly and

professionally addressed the problems of Ghana. The President will continue

to advance the Better Ghana Agenda, and we the NDC Washington Metro Branch

remain proud of the President performance.

Mr. President, NDC Washington Metro Branch congratulates you. We wish you

the best come December 7 and we confidently await the one-touch victory.

Eye Zu! Eye Za!

Signed

Francis Agbodzah

(Secretary), NDC Washington Metro
