The Propaganda Secretary of the governing National Democratic Congress says the flood of tributes by ordinary Ghanaians to the late President John Mills is an overwhelming testimony that the people of Ghana are happy with the performance of the government and will retain them in power in December. Richard Quashigah insisted that the NDC government has to a large extent met the needs of Ghanaians having been in power for barely four years. He was responding to yesterday’s press conference organized by the NPP chairman, Jake Obetsebi Lamptey in which he catalogued what he said were highlights of President John Mahama's incompetence and indecision. Lamptey said the pair of President John Mahama and Vice President Paa Kwesi Amissah-Arthur is anything but successful, having abysmally failed in their capacities as head of economic management team and Governor of the Bank of Ghana respectively. He said the country cannot be entrusted into the hands of these men for another four years having already failed in their first test. But Propaganda Secretary of the NDC Richard Quashigah said the concerns by the NPP are only a figment of their own imaginations and do not reflect the opinions of ordinary Ghanaians. He said if the tributes that poured in for the late president John Mills are anything to go by, one can safely conclude that the NPP has lost touch with ordinary Ghanaians and is only obsessed by its thirst for power. “All indications are that the economy is still robust. The economy today is better than the way we met it." He said for all the years the late President Mills stayed in office, all the NPP did was to call him an incompetent president but Ghanaians disagree and they showed it clearly in their tributes. “They accused the former president of being incompetent. Yet when you listen to the tribute from ordinary Ghanaians from the nook and cranny of ordinary Ghanaians; on the radio stations and on TVs you will come to the conclusion that the NPP has not actually been interacting with the Ghanaian people because the Ghanaian people are very convinced that the three and half years the record of the NDC is solid and they will win the next election. In these three years the Propaganda Secretary said the lives of Ghanaians have improved in many unimaginable ways. “The ordinary Ghanaian people believe that portable water which they didn’t have, have reached them, electricity has reached them; schools that they didn’t have, have been built…” “These were the testimonies we saw and heard from ordinary Ghanaians. These were people who never had the opportunity as the NPP will always have to speak to the media and express what they think and what they feel. He said whilst the NPP trumpet failure by the NDC the ordinary Ghanaians are applauding the giant strides being made by the government. He said the NPP is only panicking having seen defeat staring them in the face. Play the attached audio for excerpts of the interview with Quashigah
