NPP gov't has not abandoned campaign promises - MP

Mon, 15 Oct 2001 Source: .

Nana Kwame Asante-Frimpong, Member of Parliament (MP) for Kwabre, has said that the New Patriotic Party (NPP) government has not abandoned its campaign promises to Ghanaians.

The government under the leadership of President John Agyekum Kufuor was committed to pursuing the welfare of Ghanaians but needed time to clean the stables since the previous government left behind a pile of debris, he said.

Nana Asante-Frimpong told chiefs and people of Hemang, Ntri-Buoho, Afrancho and Bronkon in the Kwabre District on that the past government kept Ghanaians in the dark and behaved as if all was rosy but the NPP government has come out with the true picture and has joined the Heavily Indebted Poor Countries (HIPC) initiative.

He indicated: "If people are not seeing signs of progress, commitment and provision of social amenities that does not mean the NPP is not working. The serial murders which has come to a halt, price stability, increases in the producer price of cocoa, reduction of inflation, are all indicators that the government really means business."

The MP told the people to have a second look at the consideration of giving car loans to MPs, saying that it was only through the provision of good vehicles for them that they could work effectively and meaningfully.
