Member of Parliament for North Tongu, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, has said that he is not focused so much on campaign teams ahead of the 2024 general elections.
In his view, campaign teams do not matter to Ghanaians, rather the manifesto documents that state how the economic challenges are going to be solved are what interest the people.
Asked what the winning campaign team for the National Democratic Congress (NDC) will be while speaking in a yet-to-be-aired interview with TV3’s Keminni Amanor, he answered “I am not big on campaign teams, I don’t think that is what really matters to the Ghanaian people, I am rather big on the manifesto, the vision for our country. We are in a quagmire and who cares about the campaign team?”
Mr Ablakwa further accused the Akufo-Addo government of engaging in a looting spree.
In his view, developments under Akufo-Addo created the impression as though a looting brigade had descended upon the country.
Speaking in a yet-to-be-aired interview with TV3’s Keminni Amanor on Hot Issues, he indicated that per the Auditor-General’s report, 87% of road contracts were awarded through sole sourcing.
This, he said, amounted to looting.
“What is happening now under this Akufo-Addo/Bawumia regime is like a free-for-all, there is no elder in the room, everybody is on a looting spree, and it is as though a looting brigade has descended upon this nation,” he said.
He added, “87 percent of the road contracts that they awarded were single-sourced, they were not competitive, not me saying, the Auditor-General of Ghana.”
There has to be a national commission of inquiry, we are talking about hundreds of millions of Cedis.
