So we set our minds to finding out what the NDC government has been competent at doing in the last seven years. Actually, we have to admit that this NDC government is very competent at the following:<\/p>\n<p>1. Mismanaging the economy<br \/>\n2. Creating looting and sharing<br \/>\n3. Propaganda<br \/>\n4. Perpetuating Dumsor<br \/>\n5. Increasing Unemployment<br \/>\n6. Collapsing the NHIS<br \/>\n7. Cancelling teacher trainee allowances<br \/>\n8. Cancelling nursing trainee allowances<br \/>\n9. Not meeting statutory payments<br \/>\n10. Not paying contractors<br \/>\n11. Making SADA guinea fowls run to Burkina Faso<br \/>\n12. Collapsing Industries<br \/>\n13. Collapsing agriculture<br \/>\n14. Causing massive exchange rate depreciation<br \/>\n15. Massive unsustainable borrowing<br \/>\n16. Causing high interest rates<br \/>\n17.
