Remove Your Photographs From Government Funded Projects Or We Will Organise For Their Removal - Prah Tells Mahama
06.02.2016 LISTEN

Eastern Regional Communications Director of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP), David Prah has thrown a challenge to President John Dramani Mahama to remove his photographs from Government funded projects or he will personally organise for their removal because these projects belong to the people of Ghana and not President John Dramani Mahama.

According to him, such projects are funded by the state and sees it as uncivilised and achaic attitude that should not be entertained in our modern political lifestyle. This is communists inferior tactics and propaganda practiced during the communism era as a way of deceiving politically innocent people and need not be allowed in a civilised country like Ghana. "Mounting your pictures and images on Government projects is an outmoded and its shameful that the president sees nothing about it". You will not see this in any contemporary state not even our neighbouring countries. Mr. Prah added.

In an exclusive interview with Brytfmonline reporter, Nyarko Abronoma, Mr. Prah said he is convinced the photographs are just to gain political favour from the public which he thinks it's cheap political strategy which should not be allowed in our modern day politics.

"How can the President put his photographs on projects funded by taxes from the ordinary Ghanaian" ?He quizzed.

He was suprised to see the President's image on Akwaboa Nyanoa Day senior school block which was commissioned yesterday by him amongst other dignitaries.

Images of President John Dramani Mahama have been been put on the RLG free laptop project, exercise books distributed to basic schools and also with the latest branding of the buses with the images of President John Mahama and some former presidents.

But the NPP Eastern Regional Communications Director David Prah thinks it is a means of campaigning ahead of the November, 7 elections which to him is uncalled for.

My brother you remember in 2008, then Vice Presidential Candidate and now President John Dramani Mahama in response to NPP's massive infrastructural records said that it is an exercise of mediocrity for a government to say it has carried out infrastructure development because it is the responsibility for a government to build infrastructure? Mr. Prah asked the reporter.
