The Director of Research at the Institute of Economic Affairs (IEA) Dr John Kwakye has accused the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and the New Patriotic Party (NPP) for watching on while state-owned companies such as the Black Star Shipping Line and Ghana Airways were collapsing.
Dr Kwakye urged the electorate to vote for only leaders who promise to revamp these companies.
In a tweet, Dr Kwakye said “On the watch of NPP and NDC, Ghana has lost its precious national economic assets, such as: Black Star Shipping Line, Ghana Airways, Ghana Railways, and Tema Oil Refinery, along with numerous industries.
“Ghanaians should vote for only leaders who promise to restore these assets.”
Dr Kwakye earlier indicated that Ghana needed a strong third force to break the duopoly of the NPP and the NDC.
The NPP and the NDC have dominated political power since the inception of the Fourth Republic in 1992.
Although other political parties such as the Convention Peoples Party(CCP), Peoples National Convention (PNC) Progressive Peoples Party (PPP) and others have participated in elections in the Fourth Republic they have not been able to garner the needed votes to enable them to form a government.
This has led the NPP and NDC to dominate the space at the presidential and parliamentary levels.
In a tweet, Dr John Kwakye described the NPP and the NDC as incompetent parties in the management of the economy.
He said “We need a third force in Ghanaian politics to uproot the incompetent NPP-NDC duopoly.”
