THE Member of Parliament for Wenchi, Hon Seidu Haruna has described President Akufo-Addo-led New Patriotic Party (NPP) government as shambolic and lacking ideas for the solution to Ghana\u2019s development problems.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to him, the message the President delivered to parliament in his State of the Nation Addressed (SONA) on Wednesday, March 8, indicated that President Akufo-Addo has lost touch with the reality of the country\u2019s economic problems and the development needs of the people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hon Seidu made these comments in response to the President\u2019s claims that the country is on track and that much has not been lost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In his view, the President is not in touch with reality. Today, people cannot say anything against this government and get away. The Media have all been gaged and they dare speak or publish anything against the President of Akufo Addo, so I think the President is sleeping and must wake up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHe appears to be sleeping and dozing off on the job and taking the Ghanaians for granted,\u201d the Wenchi Member of Parliament said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While delivering the state of the nation, President Akufo-Addo rebuffed accusations his government has been reckless in its borrowing and spending.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said the government has spent the money on very urgent things including building roads and schools, training young people, and equipping them to face a competitive world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cConsidering the amount of work that still needs to be done on the state of our roads, the bridges that have to be built, considering the number of classrooms that need to be built, the furniture and equipment needs at all stages of education, considering the number of children who should be in school and are not, considering the number of towns and villages that still do not have access to potable water, I daresay no one can suggest we have over-borrowed or spent recklessly,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
