The New Patriotic Party has rubbished claims by Pressure group, Alliance for Responsible Opposition (AFRO) that it is distracting government from working to improve the wellbeing of Ghanaians. The group cites the NPP’s opposition to the STX Korea housing deal to buttress its point. According to AFRO, the NPP and people it described as anti-government press elements have an agenda to cause the NDC government to fail. “There is the creation of artificial state of insecurity because there is the fear of opposition elements that the success of government means their failure. So by all means they must do everything for government to fail,” AFRO’s spokesperson, Benjamin Akyena Brentuo, said. But the NPP’s Deputy Communications Director, Perry Okudzeto said the claims are baseless. He said if President Mills in his inaugural address promised that no Ghanaian shall thence live in fear, and Ghanaians are now, in spite of the president’s promise robbed daily in their homes and on the streets, their right to complain cannot be taken away from them. Neither can their pain be wished away by simply blaming the NPP. Source: Joy News/Ghana
