His NDC administration pursued on purpose, and with fortitude, wrong economic and social policies that militated against the health and healthy growth of the economy. Social democracy tendencies should never obstruct social and infrastructural facilities carefully planned and designed to grow the economy. Mahama willfully introduced the Rapid Transit Bus Service to impede the healthy development of the Omnibus Service Transport System. Mahama took pride in derailing the NHIS scheme, by design, starving it of funds and grants that legally belong to the national Healthcare program. The Guinea Fowl national project John Dramani Mahama by a wicked scheme abused and misapplied, donating the grants and funds which did go into private pockets that have driven south to Tema and Accra. These elements are now roaming the urban streets having squandered recklessly the nation’s abused moneys that came to them. They set to trading. Most of their trading businesses have collapsed because the finance capitals came to them for personal enjoyment. They have chosen to waste them. It is wrong policies driven by wrong political philosophy that account for these losses to the state; it never is the vagaries of the inclement weather situation that hold the blame and can hold the blame. Let me draw attention to some of contracts Mr Mahama by fiat of a presidential privilege foisted on incompetent, unqualified and undeserved hands: the Tema Motoway Tolls contract and the Odaw River drainage/dredging contracts. Who holds them? And why? We know the roaring lies, and why they were told! We know misappropriated state funds, and where these are lodged…Please quit trying to blow dust into the Ghanaian smarting eyes! How do you explain, Mr Mahama, the fake news your bribed rogue hands disseminated with little compunction kept screaming into unwilling ears!
This is hardly a state of a nation address a defeated president dare spit into the nation’s ears. It hardly makes fitting reading and hearing.
Please wait a few hours hence to hear what the President-elect for the 7th Parliament of the fourth Republic says in response to what we have heard from you. The ignominy that smears your NDC quitting administration will inhale some justification for the nation that has rejected you…booting you out in the arse.
