The Member of Parliament (MP) for Okaikoi South, Nana Akomea has described President Mills’ response to a question as to why the creation of 1.6 million jobs was excluded from the NDC’s Top 5 Achievement as the poorest during his interaction with the media last week.
President Mills when asked why the creation of the jobs - announced by a Deputy Information Minister Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa - was not captured in the party’s Top 50 achievements, said there were plans to include them in another publication.
But Nana Akomea says the mere fact that it was not captured in their first edition means the Deputy Minister lied when he said the government had created 1.6 million jobs.
He said if Mr Ablakwa’s claims were true, it would have been the single biggest achievement of any government anywhere in the world and for the NDC to overlook such a monumental achievement in the publication of their Top 50 Achievement can point to one thing – the creation of the jobs was phantom.
“If you claim as a government that you created 1.6 million jobs in one year – 2009 - and you are compiling your top 50 achievement and you have in that list of achievement, your plans to buy hospital equipment – you count that as an achievement, the plans to buy hospital achievement – and you don’t count the creation of 1.6 million jobs, then the game is given away,” he said.
Nana Akomea said President Mills and the NDC must come again, because the response that the creation of the jobs will be listed in a second publication “is a joke.”
