John Dramani Mahama and NDC are deficient in policies and programmes

When will the NDC and their presidential candidate, John Dramani Mahama, ever become sufficient in policies and programmes? Although Ghana is in an election year like many other countries, I am yet to see the NDC and Mr. John Mahama come out with credible policies and programmes able to move Ghana forward in her socio-economic emancipatory efforts.

So far, they are without any serious policies and programmes able to qualify them as political parties ready to govern Ghana, unless they are in for power just to plunder the nation, being certified “Ede bii keke” guys.

Is coming to license the “okada and pragia” riders and drivers a major programme that John Mahama can bring to the table?

Telling the Okada drivers that the NPP has failed to honour their promise to provide them with cars, hence he will give them a license to carry on with their activities, is a sound policy he can produce. Is he not exhibiting shallow-mindedness here—a depiction of populism to win the votes of the Okada operators?

I am sure he will be visiting the illegal small-scale and alluvial miners to reassure them of his readiness to resource them to expand their destruction of the water bodies, fertile and arable lands, and virgin forests if they vote for him in the 2024 general election.

While Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia of the NPP is making sound promises to really move Ghana up the socio-economic development ladder, there you have John Mahama making a mockery of himself with his infantile promises.

He and the NDC do not even understand their promised 24-hour economy. Again, his promise to use artificial intelligence (AI) to fight galamsey is a mirage. How can a person who promises to encourage and resource the galamsey operatives still be able to fight to stop their work through AI? Is he not having two mouths, hence a hallucinating liar?

Had he not said he would lie to people during the electioneering campaign if that could turn the hearts of his listeners toward him and encourage them to vote for him?

Why trust this liar, o, ye Ghanaians, claiming you have a short memory?

On June 5, 2024, a member of the NDC being interviewed on the radio angrily expressed his total dissatisfaction with Dr. Bawumia's promise to offer free dialysis treatment for patients aged between 18 and 65 years.

When the host questioned the NDC interviewee why he was not happy about the announcement of that policy as explained by a preceding interviewee, he said, “He cannot say that in an election year, knowing we are only six months away from the general election. He only wants people to vote for him.”

Are promises not made during the election year? Are the programmes intended to be implemented by a presidential or parliamentary candidate not announced during the campaign?

If it were not so, why is John Mahama promising Ghanaians willing to go into poultry farming with a few chicks, hen coops, and a small amount of money? Why is he again promising Ghanaians a 24-hour economy, which he does not even understand what it entails or means?

Time is against me, so I shall end here and come back to continue with it later, God willing.

Please, fellow Ghanaians, vote for Dr. Bawumia, the Big Brain!
