NPP practised ‘kweku ananse’ governance

The governing National Democratic Congress (NDC) says it is not interested in the opposition New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) ‘kweku ananse’ style of governance.

Kweku Ananse is a folkloric villain in Ghanaian oral tradition.

A Deputy General Secretary of the Party, Kofi Adams, told XYZ News the NDC will not squander, for the benefit and fill of the few, the country’s resources that must be invested for the benefit of the masses, as he claims the NPP did when it was in power.

“The NDC is always focused and looking into what it must do to make sure that this country develops, not to engage in using what must be invested in feeding its sons and daughters today, so that tomorrow will be a bleak one”, he explained.

His criticism follows a swipe taken against the party by the NPP’s two-time Presidential Candidate, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, over President John Mahama governance style.

Nana Akufo-Addo told the UK Chapter of the Young Executives Forum over the weekend at a dinner hosted in his honour that: “I think it is obvious to all of us here tonight that our opponents or competitors for political power are incapable of running our country well”.

According to him, “It is clear that our opponents are good at being declared winners of elections but are bad at governing our nation”.

Mr Adams said the international community would not have reposed confidence in the Ghanaian Government if President Mahama was such a bad President as Nana Akufo-Addo and the NPP are portraying him to be.
