Deliver or step aside - Nana Akomea fires back at NDC critics of early NPP manifesto plans
Nana Akomea said on Tuesday on PM Express with Evans Mensah that the National Democratic Congress (NDC) should not be distracted by the opposition's criticism of its policies. He dismissed suggestions that unveiling policies and campaign direction early gives political opponents an advantage. According to Akomea, "Well, for a government in office, your counter is the implementation of policies that would affect the Ghanaian positively."
Akomea argued that any government already in power has a more important responsibility than reacting to opposition ideas. He insisted that governments are elected on the basis of promises made to citizens and must be judged on whether they fulfil those promises. He stated, "You have made promises to the Ghanaians, and you have to deliver on those promises, whether the opposition has a manifesto or not."
Akomea added that failure by a governing party to meet expectations naturally creates room for the opposition to present itself as the alternative. He asked, "Now, when you are not delivering, what's the alternative?" He said, "And the alternative is what this policy committee will come up with and present to the Ghanaian people and ask them to make a choice."
