It is a good thing. But, let me ask you one question. Have you seen any government, in Ghana\u2019s history, which has never constructed roads, schools or hospitals?\u201d he quizzed.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_171870\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-171870\" style=\"width: 642px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\" wp-image-171870\" src=\"http:\/\/ghelections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/10ad698e-748f-4341-b61c-814582004d59.jpg\" alt=\"NPP supporters at the Akim Swedru rally\" width=\"642\" height=\"361\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-171870\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">NPP supporters at the Akim Swedru rally<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Mr. Kyerematen said inspite of the NDC\u2019s singular message of infrastructural development, Ghanaians are saying the Mahama administration has made life unbearable for them.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGhanaians are saying that their living conditions are worse off.
