President John Dramani Mahama has made Ghanaians poorer and does not have the traits of a caring and compassionate leader. This is according to the New Patriotic Party (NPP) who are accusing the President\u00a0of superintending a bad economy.<\/p>\n

At a news conference held on Monday in Accra to counter claims made by the NDC in its recently launched manifesto, Policy Adviser\u00a0for the 2016 campaign team of the NPP, Boakye Agyarko, said \u201cnothing shows that Mahama has put Ghanaians first\u201d as touted in the NDC manifesto.<\/p>\n

Mr. Agyarko said Ghanaians were going through hardship and sufferings under the Mahama-led government, as they are faced with high electricity bills, irregular and unpredictable power outages, high unemployment among others.<\/p>\n

He added that, unlike the NDC, the NPP is a government that have\u00a0people as its priority with competence, compassion, foresight, discipline and integrity to implement policies that will help create jobs.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt cannot be disputed that President Mahama has made Ghanaians poorer. The prices of everyday items have skyrocketed under John Mahama,\u201d Mr. Agyarko said.<\/p>\n

He added that that the government cannot be trusted to put people first as it has widely embraced corruption.<\/p>\n

\u2018A foundation of concrete or straw\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n

The running mate for the NPP Presidential candidate, Dr. Mahamadu Bawumiah in his lecture on Ghana\u2019s economy earlier last week also criticized the Mahama-led administration for making Ghanaians poorer due to poor economic management.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the opposition New Patriotic Party is expected to launch its manifesto<\/a> <\/strong><\/span>ahead of the December polls on October 8 in the Northern Regional capital, Tamale.<\/p>\n
