Leader and flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) had characterized this year\u2019s elections, as pivotal for Ghana\u2019s future. <\/strong><\/p>\n

John Dramani Mahama, said this during an address at the inauguration of the NDC Aldershot branch of the UK & Ireland Chapter, where he called for an end to Akufo-Addo\u2019s\u00a0 \u2018yenkyendi\u2019 government.<\/p>\n

He emphasized the significance of winning not just for the NDC but for the entire nation.<\/p>\n

Mahama highlighted the concerning deterioration across various sectors such as healthcare and education, attributing it to the current government\u2019s governance.<\/p>\n

The NDC leader cited examples of the decline, pointing out the stark contrast in the performance of state-owned enterprises like the Produce Buying Company (PBC) and GIHOC Distilleries.<\/p>\n

He lamented the significant decrease in cocoa purchases by PBC and the financial struggles faced by GIHOC, once a thriving entity under his administration.<\/p>\n

Nana Akufo-Addo<\/strong><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\u201cThis year\u2019s election is different. We must win this victory, not for the NDC but for Ghana. \u201dOur country has deteriorated in every sector, including healthcare and education. State-owned enterprises that were making profits are all making losses, and that is because it is a \u2018yenkyendi\u2019 government in place.<\/p>\n

\u201cI will give you two examples. In the 2016\/2017 crop year, the Produce Buying Company purchased 30% of the total cocoa exported from Ghana.<\/p>\n

\u201cToday, do you know how much PBC buys? 0%. And they haven\u2019t paid their workers for ten months; banks are towing PBC\u2019s properties away because they have been unable to repay their credit.<\/p>\n

\u201cGIHOC Distilleries was one of the best-performing state-owned enterprises under my administration.<\/p>\n

The company raised capital from its operations and invested independently in new production lines.<\/p>\n

Today, GIHOC is a shadow of itself. It is struggling to pay staff salaries. I could go on and on. Just name any state-owned enterprise; they have just destroyed it.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
