I have just gone through the so called manifesto and I really felt sorry for Ghana. First of all, this NDC inherited a middle income country and it is good this manifesto has exposed them. They ran down the country from a middle income country to a poor country (World Bank standards in just 4 years through incompetence and corruption and stupidity. I tried to figure out the achievements especially those I can verify. On the roads I live in Tema and work in Accra, and I tried to see where the Accra Tema road asphalted is located. Is it the one heading to the Lekman hospital in the middle of Teshie? If yes, then it is a lie. First that is not the road to Tema and every election year, they fool the people by gravelling it and it the same story this year. The Ashiaman road? I beg to differ, this road had been on NDC agenda since 2000. Infact I was there live when the government people came and commissioned one hundred meters of the road from the Nungua barrier to just before the railway crossing. It is one of the biggest shames to the blackman if we call that development. Now the biggest problem fopr Ghana now is corruption but there was no mention of checking corruption at all!!!!!!!!!!. Meaning it will continue. Now the one million projects I wonder how even 5% of them can be achieved. When you inherit a middle income country and messed up, and now that you are a poor country with your Debt to GDP ratio getting to 80% where will you get the money from? On top there is little mention of formulation sound policies, which was completely absent so continue with the current environment is just a disaster in the making. The whole manifesto is a litany of words, dreams and not thought through at all. It is non achievable and seems to me like comfort to a fool. I could have proven very technically but this is not a technical forum. Ghanaians do not be deceived about these falsehood of litany. It is fake, unscientific and cannot work. Vote the NDC out, else they will destroy us completely. If you doubt this let the World Bank advice on it, but they too may be political. This manifesto is a farce and waste of time. I am sorry I am not in any of the political parties am just giving you Ghanaians advice

Obiri, just confess the NPP is struggling to come up with a manifesto. Nana Akomea recently confirmed that the NPP is still working on its manifesto.

My dear friend, you sound like an emotional and a confused individual.
Allow me to correct you. First of all, the NDC did not inherit a middle income country. They inherited a HIPC country. Second of all, what you describe as a "so-called manifesto" is actually a solid party manifesto and it has set the likes of you panicking and spewing out utter garbage. You state that you don't belong to any political party, but that, with respect, is utter bunkum !. You are an NPP man who is just too afraid to use your true name because you already smell defeat and would rather remain anonymous. Thirdly, you give the impression of being a technical /intelligent person but your utterances and style of argument betray you. A manifesto is not meant to be a technical or scientific document. If this is the best advice you can give us Ghanaians, then I respectfully request that you shut the fuck up about politics because you are advertising your ignorance too much !!. Have a good day, sir and fuck you !!

I wonder if people like this yakubu also went to school and read the books that were supposed to read at each level. Your argument is shallow and very unintelligent. Do not make me believe that you were taught by cattle instead of kindergarten in the field when you were young. You cant just reason well for it to add up. What Togbuiga said is one hundred percent correct. If manaifestos are not mennt to be iplemented from your argumant, then what is the big noise of NDC manifesto being launched bla, bla, bla? You guys promised more than one thousand promises and could not fulfil even a hundreth. Even your 200 SHS you manage to ccomplete only 7. Ghana was a middle income country in 2008 if you dont know. You ran it down to a poor income country by 2016. What you could not achieve when you inherited a middle income country cannot be achieved when you ran it down to a poor icome country and now beginning from a poor income country. This is not economics but simple logic, since the economics can be too difficult for someone called yakubu. Do not be following blindly, but use your brains, if you dont have listen to others. NDC has no fututre fopr Ghana and this manifesto is no manifesto, just a waste of time, resources and most especially paper. Not worth the paer on which it is printed.

Where did you get this figure 98% from? Are you some sort of voodoo statistician?. If that is the case, then advise your NPP party not to launch any manifesto at all.
Nothing the NPP says makes any sense anymore.

NPP stop launching your hidden and rotten manifestos, because 98% don't care about manifesto. Why then accusing NDC of 'stealing' your manifestos, if you have any? NPP are joking and sleeping.
