You can't boast of any social intervention after 18 months in government - Afenyo-Markin tells NDC

Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin has criticised the current NDC government, stating that it has failed to implement any social intervention programme with a meaningful ripple effect on the country’s youth.

According to him, the government has cancelled existing interventions that supported private sector growth without introducing viable alternatives.

“So you ask yourself that one and a half years of this NDC government, they should tell us a single social intervention programme that they have implemented which is creating opportunity for the youth,” he said while addressing TESCON members.

He explained that the government has disappointed the private sector and stifled its growth.

“In fact, the 1D1F programme that they cancelled, in its place there is no alternative, so the private sector has been left without any hope,” he added.

The Minority Leader acknowledged that the government has stabilised the cedi but questioned whether the cost of doing so is worth it.
