Deputy Propaganda Secretary of the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC), Solomon Nkansah, has refuted claims by the Young Patriots group that the government has failed to fulfill its 2008 campaign promises. The Young Patriots, a youth wing of the opposition New Patriotic Party accused President John Mills of deceit and embarked on a demonstration in Tamale on Tuesday over what they say are the unfulfilled promises of the Mills administration on the Savanna Accelerated Development Authority (SADA). They also argued that the NDC has failed to fulfill the ‘Better Ghana Agenda’ promised by then candidate Mills in the run-up to the 2008 elections, adding the Better Ghana promise has turned into a ‘bitter Ghana.’ A member of the Young Patriots, Titus Glover said Ghanaians are really suffering under the leadership of President Mills with parents struggling to pay their children’s school fees. Titus Glover said the state of suffering in the country does not affect a particular geographical area as prices of goods and services have increased drastically within a little over three years. He maintained that the NDC government needs to be voted out of power because the lot of the ordinary Ghanaian have worsened. But in a reaction, Solomon Nkansah, dismissed the Young Patriots’ claims and said the NDC, under the watch of President Mills has delivered on the promises he made to Ghanaians during the 2008 electioneering campaign. He said the NDC government has undertaken various developmental projects in all the ten regions, making the party attractive to Ghanaians for them to renew their mandate in the December polls. He alleged that the Young Patriots had planned to talk about the ‘Better Ghana Agenda in their demonstration, but when they saw the renovation of the Tamale Teaching Hospital, they changed their minds and talked about the ‘Woyomegate’ judgment debt instead. Mr. Nkansah asked the Young Patriots to tour the whole country and see the quantum of development projects being undertaken by the NDC, explaining that it is an indication that the Better Ghana Agenda is on course and will give the NDC another four-year mandate.
