Minority Chief Whip and Nsawam-Adoagyiri MP Frank Annoh-Dompreh has launched a fierce attack on the Mahama-led NDC government, declaring that the administration has “become unpopular even faster than we anticipated.”
Addressing an NPP Minority Caucus workshop at the Accra City Hotel on Monday, Annoh-Dompreh accused the government of failing Ghanaians through poor economic management, worsening power outages and policies that have deepened hardship.
“I dare say that the NDC government has become unpopular even faster than we anticipated, and it did not take long for their shallowness to be exposed at every level,” he said.
According to him, the return of “economy crippling dumsor” showed that “problems are not solved by promises, but by deliberate efforts to improve a system.”
He claimed the NDC rushed to dismantle structures the previous government had put in place after assuming office.
“The recent cocoa producer-price reduction may well be the biggest deceit devised by the NDC government,” he stated, adding that cocoa farmers remain vulnerable because of their total dependence on farming incomes.
Annoh-Dompreh said the Minority had called on government to cushion cocoa farmers immediately.
He warned that government failures were destroying livelihoods and worsening conditions for ordinary citizens.
“We cannot sit back while the cocoa farmer is wailing, the teachers and nurses are wailing, public servants are wailing and market women are wailing,” he declared.
“This is the reflection of the scam of the NDC government.”
The Minority Chief Whip said despite the NPP’s defeat in the last election, the caucus had “bounced back stronger, more agile, well informed, and indeed ready to take on 2028 with tactics and strategies that will marvel our counterparts.”
He described the opposition bloc as the “Mighty Minority” and praised MPs for sustaining pressure on government both in Parliament and in public engagements.
According to him, the caucus has managed to hold government accountable despite its reduced numbers in Parliament.
“Though our numbers are few now, we have endeavoured to assert the great will of the people of Ghana in demanding proper governance from the Executive,” he said.
Annoh-Dompreh also accused the government of politicising debate around the Bank of Ghana’s 2025 financial statement in a bid to distract attention from what he described as “huge cracks in their sandcastle governance.”
He urged Minority MPs to intensify pressure on the government whenever weaknesses are exposed.
“Millions of Ghanaians deserve to know the true nature of their government in order to make the right decision of leadership,” he said.
The workshop brought together Minority MPs, party leaders and resource persons ahead of the resumption of Parliament this week.
