The embarrassment that is engulfing the Akufo Addo, Bawumia government is becoming too much,&#8221; Mr. Portuphy said.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking on Citi FM\u2019s News Analysis Programme, <strong>The Big Issue<\/strong>, Mr. Casley Hayford however said it will be unfair to criticise the NPP government for poor governance since it had been in power for just six months.<\/p>\n<p>He further indicated that it will be too early to expect results, saying\u201cit is too early for us to see the impact of what is being done. When we are looking at government, it is a little more difficult to take off.
