[contextly_sidebar id=”r1ZXEg7acpPOXBz4Ah8ThBzUkxxqpso2″]Kwadwo Owusu Afriyie, popularly known as Sir John, said the Mahama-led government has performed abysmally since they were given the mandate to govern the nation.<\/p>\n
He was responding to IMANI Ghana’s 47% grading of the NDC government after the elections in 2012, when he appeared on the Point Blank<\/strong> segment of Eyewitness News<\/strong> on Tuesday.<\/p>\n The former general secretary further chastised President Mahama for not yielding to the demands by the striking doctors because he is a \u201cdead goat.\u201d<\/p>\n Doctors in the public sector have refused to return to work unless government provides them with conditions of service.<\/p>\n Several negotiations to have the issue addressed have faild to yield any positive results while President Mahama has insisted that he will not authorise any salary or allowance which has not been budgeted for.<\/p>\n Sir John said Ghana\u2019s unending problems will be solved only when President Mahama is \u201creshuffled\u201d in 2016.<\/p>\n \u201cVery abysmal performance by John. His party and his government are corrupt to the elbow and he himself will be happy to be reshuffled in 2016 and I can\u2019t wait for that day,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n \u201cHe is too tired you could see that from all his policies and pronouncement that I\u2019m not going to pay monies to doctors even beyond 2015 budget when indeed the doctors are not asking you to give them money by the 2015 budget and that whatever they are asking for is for 2016. The man is tired, the man is confused, the man is a dead goat, and I think that it is the syndrome that is killing him and he needs to be reshuffled for his own good,\u201d added Sir John.<\/p>\n –<\/p>\n By: Godwin A.
