The Member of Parliament for Ayawaso West Wougon, Emmanuel Kyeremanten Agyarko, has described the behavior of President John Mahama and his governing National Democratic Congress (NDC) as spoiled brats.<\/p>\n

He said this in response to the President Mahama\u2019s recent unsuccessful attempts to secure a one-on-one debate with the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Flagbearer, Nana Akufo-Addo on issues pertaining to the economy, among others.<\/p>\n

[contextly_sidebar id=”B5cqLIUGkd8ASFVnFWjBckRDYc5n9ian”]Speaking on The Big Issue<\/strong>, Mr. Agyarko said, \u201cI think the NDC is behaving like a spoiled brat. They live in this country and they think everything must be at their beck and call. They think they that they must determine the outcomes for everybody and everything in this country.\u201d<\/p>\n

He further said President Mahama\u2019s actions in recent times demonstrated \u201cvery clearly a man that is confused.\u201d<\/p>\n

“From nowhere, out of nothing, the man comes one day and says; now I want a debate with Akufo-Addo. What has happened, what is new,\u201d Mr. Agyarko questioned.<\/p>\n

He reinforced his “spoiled brat” comments by also accusing of the NDC of simply wanting to pick and choose debate platforms as he reminded that the NDC\u00a0had boycotted the tried and tested platform the Institute of Economic Affairs (IEA) provided for a similar debate.<\/p>\n

The NDC\u00a0directed all of its candidates, presidential and parliamentary, not to participate in any debate organised by the IEA ahead of the polls precisely because\u00a0the IEA\u2019s decided to hold\u00a0separate debate for the flagbearers of the NPP and NDC as well as what they termed as IEAs lack of consultation<\/strong><\/a><\/span>\u00a0before its announcement.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll of a sudden, the NDC comes not just saying they don\u2019t want the platform but actually attacking the integrity of the organizers of that platform,\u201d\u00a0Mr. Agyarko said of the<\/p>\n

“There has been a time honoured, time tested way we have always done this. So what is the President talking about now,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n

NPP’s responses to debate calls<\/strong><\/p>\n

In rebuttals to President John Mahama\u2019s recent challenges<\/span><\/a><\/strong>\u00a0to debate Nana Akufo-Addo on issues of the economy, the NPP has asked for a response to the 170 questions laid out by the NPP running mate, Dr, Mahamadu Bawumia\u00a0during his lecture<\/a><\/strong><\/span>\u00a0on the state of the Ghanaian economy in September.<\/p>\n

The NPP is also requesting a formal approach<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong><\/span>from the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC) if any possible\u00a0headway would be made on the issue.<\/p>\n
