NPP’s economy working for family and friends; I’m coming for all – Mahama

The 2020 manifesto of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) dubbed the People’s Manifesto, is an inclusion of all issues concerning Ghanaians and not to the enjoyment of few people, says former President John Dramani Mahama.

According to him, the NDC will put in place measures to ensure that the economy is able to support every Ghanaian regardless of their political affiliation or background.

“Ghana’s economy is not working for the people, it is working for only a few. We will fix the economy and make it work for all Ghanaians. We will fight the disastrous effect of the poor economic performance of this government,” he said during the launch of the his party’s manifesto.

Also speaking at the ceremony, Chairman of the Manifesto Committee, Professor Kwaku Danso Boafo indicated that the policy statement was drafted with data that is reliable, valid and verifiable.

According to him, thorough research coupled with inputs solicited from well-meaning individuals, civil society organizations and labour unions were taken into consideration before the final compilation.

“We have produced a document whose philosophy is not only grassroots-based, people-oriented, inclusive and bottom-up but more importantly, a winning document. Our manifesto is based on reliable, valid and verifiable data. I am very confident that the age-long problem of underdevelopment for this country is going to be solved once and for all by the People’s Manifesto, a manifesto that is derived out of what the people think is good for them”, Prof. Boafo disclosed.

Prof. Boafo also mentioned that the manifesto has been categorised into six thematic areas which will serve as the party’s blueprint as follows:

1. Fixing the economy
2. Promoting human development
3. Providing infrastructure for growth
4. Providing decent jobs
5. Good governance and corruption
6. Deepening international relations and foreign affairs
