A former District Chief Executive for Obuasi, Mr. George Adu-Mensah, says as an opposition party, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) had a duty to ensure good governance in the country. “We have to see to it that the NPP government does what is right for the nation”, he said. Mr. Adu-Mensah was speaking at a seminar in Obuasi organized by the Obuasi constituency of the NDC to mark the 15th anniversary of the Party. He said the government’s Golden Age of Business had become a mere political slogan as businesses were collapsing because of power shedding in the country. The ex-DCE urged the government to tell Ghanaians the truth about the real situation of the energy crisis instead of “announcing daily promises of solving the problem”. On the re-denomination of the cedi, Mr Adu-Mensah wondered why an economy like Ghana should have two legal tenders at the same time within a period. He called on the government to take steps to ensure that people did not take undue advantage to enrich themselves as the existing arrangement would give room for fraudulent deals. Mr. Clement Sangaparee, an activist of the NDC expressed worry about the seeming indifference of the clergy, who had not sent any pastoral letter to the government in the event of current events in the country. He cited the increasing spate of armed robbers killing innocent people and the inconveniences and sufferings the energy crisis had visited on Ghanaians, among others acts, which, he said, needed pastoral concerns. Mr. Sangaparee, noted that the clergy had been quiet over the nation’s problems because it had taken a “position in the government”.Source: GNA
