Former Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) for Ga West in erstwhile President Kufour’s administration and Chief of Mpehuasem in the Greater Accra Region, Nana Bram Okae II has warned all New Patriotic Party (NPP) faithful and appointees of government not to think that 2024 election is done deal for the party.
According to the former MCE, most Ghanaians are not pleased with the performance of the government adding that they are not delivering but are making similar mistakes the National Democratic Congress (NDC) made and the reason why Ghanaians voted them out of office in 2016.
Speaking exclusively to Republic Press, Nana Bram said lots of Ghanaians are disappointed in the NPP government as officials keep on bundling economic figure which he said does not reflect the actuals on the ground or market place.
“There is still hardship in the system because the ordinary people are not benefitting from the activities of the party and the government which will definitely translate into the voting pattern come 2024,” he stated.
The chief said the abuse of government vehicles and owning of properties by state officials from District Chief Executive to Chief Directors, Chief Executives, Board Chairmen and Ministers which they never had before entering into politics should be a matter of concern by the government.
The former MCE complained that the way the President is found of defending his appointees in relations to corruption issues is another area that Ghanaians are not happy with adding that the performance of the party would cause apathy in election day and definitely affect the ruling government.
He said it is hard to believe that over 500 excavators could disappear from Ghana whilst people were put in charge of its management adding that this has caused disillusion among the people.
There are many complains and allegations that some people working in the government sector who have reached their retirement ages are still actively working while the youth continue to wallow in unemployment situation a typical example, he mentioned of the Ghana Revenue Authority causing agitation and anxiety in the system.
“Many NPP supporters would not vote because they are disillusioned and feel not benefiting from the activities of the government and so they will not go out on voting day to vote,” he stated.
Nana Bram said there are too many needless mistakes by the government and that would cause the party come 2024 adding that galamsey is still going on in some mining areas by known NPP party faithful and officials.
“If the NPP government doesn’t change for the better, it is likely that 2024 election results would not go their way,” he cautioned.
