The Member of Parliament for Kwabre East, Onyina Acheampong Akwasi Gyamfi, has criticized President John Dramani Mahama’s state of the nation address. He stated that it failed to tackle several major challenges currently facing the country.
Speaking on the Orange Sunrise, the legislator compared the address to the NDC’s manifesto. He then described it as filled with lamentations rather than solutions.
He pointed out that critical issues, such as the revocation of appointments and the ongoing dumsor crisis, were missing from the President’s presentation.
“You had all this opportunity to tell us the state of what you have put in place, but it ended up being a manifesto reading. This is similar to their party manifesto. It never addressed issues like dumsor and the revocation of appointments,” he told host Alfa Ali.
The kwabre East MP further described President Mahama’s claim of resolving dumsor before leaving office in 2016 as a palpable falsehood.
He said the president was bent on shifting his inefficiency onto the previous government. Which he thinks should not be the case.
Mr. Akwasi Gyamfi also indicated that the current support and goodwill the NDC is experiencing from Ghanaians will not last forever. And so, they should be prepared for the impending reality.
“I am telling them that, this honeymoon period that they asked for and seem to be enjoying from Ghanaians will eventually come to an end. And they will have to face the reality,” the Kwabre East MP stated.
