Independent Presidential aspirant, Dr. Sam Ankrah has accused the National Democratic Congress (NDC) of appropriating some of his economic policies without proper credit.

The leader for the Alternative Force for Action (AFA) alleged that key components of his proposed economic strategies have been integrated without acknowledgment.

During a town hall meeting with chiefs and residents of Ellembelle on the first day of his two-day "Building Ghana Tour" in the Western Region, NDC flagbearer John Mahama, made a significant announcement regarding the party's education vision.

Mahama unveiled the NDC government's ambitious plan to launch a National Apprenticeship Training Programme, aiming to provide free skills training for Junior High School graduates who couldn't progress to the Senior High School level.

Responding to Mahama's announcement, Dr. Sam Ankrah dismissed it as "ridiculous," highlighting the irony of the NDC proposing such measures after 16 years in power. He questioned, “After more than 16 years of democratic rule in power, have they just realized we can address our employment issue with apprenticeship?”

As part of his campaign, the development economist outlined a comprehensive ten-point agenda for managing the country if elected president. This agenda, he explained, will focus on crucial areas such as affordable housing, healthcare, education, food, fuel, and transportation, and a robust anti-corruption stance to establish an affordable business environment.

Dr. Ankrah also emphasized the importance of affordable and sound economic policies, sustainable job creation, and efficient government machinery.
