Not A Step Back

The NPP has a retrogressive bad history which its current progeny still practices and has shown no form of remorse to the Ghanaian people.

The party has shown a record of loving power for power sake with no developmental plans. They have indicated most at times that leadership of Ghana is their birthright and no other party can survive leadership without deadly torments.

They are widely known of throwing bombs at gatherings of their opponents, throwing of hand grenades on houses of opponents, stabbing dissenting voices to death, acid baths, telling palpable lies about opponents through paid up journalists and media houses, destruction of national infrastructure including educational facilities, office complexes, ECG transformers, street lights, many others.

They have an agenda of black washing every critical institution in the country and this can be seen in their incessant attack on the police service and its leadership, the electoral commission and its chairperson, the Ghana Statistical service, etc.

They have also used surrogates of their party to plunge the country into chaos; they include AFAG, LMVCA, Occupy Ghana, IMANI Ghana, CDD, GII, and a host of fake pollsters.

They have also managed to corner the judiciary in their pockets to do their bidden as Sammy Awuku indicated some time ago.

They have also managed to corner the Editorial Board of the State Newspaper, Daily Graphic, which have consistently done the bidden of the NPP over the last 16 years.

The only successful man of the UP Tradition made some positive moves to advance Ghana's democracy openly and some initiatives which supported many ordinary Ghanaians, but was still having larger number of its people still with the evil agenda of their past. This can squarely be placed at the doorpost of Nana Addo and his assigns.

The Kuffour led administration supervised over loot of state lands, Ga lands, lands in Ashanti, and other lands meant for educational projects. The sale of Ghana's Drill Ship, the planned mismanagement and sale of the Ghana Airways with persons like Ursula Owusu, et al. as beneficiaries. The abysmal sale of Ghana Telecom and its assets, the cheap negotiation of our oil find resulting in Ghana benefitting less, but EO group comprising of friends of President Kuffour, Edusei and Owusu, benefitting more (3%), and the interference of activities of the judiciary by government officials.

The NDC administration has performed very well in many sectors for the past three years and must be commended. They have worked massively on Education, Healthcare, Road networks, Communication, Potable water provision, tolerance in governance, and expansion of affordable housing to reduce the national housing deficit.

The current administration has taken a bold step in educational infrastructure and the provision of ancillary facilities.

The infrastructure will serve the needs of thousands of community youth who hitherto, has no intention of furthering their education, but for the community SHS.

123, out of the 200 promised are all at appreciable levels of completion. These schools are going to suffice the educational deficit of this country. Some wards have stayed home over the years as a result of failing to be admitted into their choices of schools. Should this result in an abridgement of a child's education?

Teachers and headmasters are being provided bungalows to keep them glued to their duty post.

There will be hundreds of official and unofficial jobs to be created for educational workers: Teachers, cleaners, watchmen, food vendors at school markets, and all sellers of all kinds of stuff.

There will be more intellectuals in communities who will help solve the concrete needs of their people.

University infrastructure, apart from the great Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah who was credited with the four major universities in the country, the NDC administration can boast of three solid universities and one other to be constructed in the Eastern Region of Ghana.

The health sector has seen more upgrade with major hospitals, polyclinics, community health centres and chip compounds. In Accra alone we can boast of the Dodowa District Hospital, the Legon Teaching Hospital, the Police Hospital expansion project, the Ridge Hospital which is now the Greater Accra Regional Hospital, the Tema Maritime Hospital, and many others. There are other three Regional Hospitals by JM including one more Military Hospital in Kumasi.

The health facilities will help prevent untimely deaths in communities, reduce maternal deaths, child mortality and other sicknesses related to pregnancy.

Accessibility will be enhanced and travel cost reduced.

Reduction in the spread of avoidable diseases in communities with the proximity of health centers and health workers.

Other sectors of the economy are being tackled and out of the macro projects, the micro will be propelled.

The PYF launched the ‪#‎Not A Step Back campaign to propel the chances of the Manama administration to continue its good works in the country.

As progressives, we urge the current administration which hails from a Social Democratic philosophy, after witnessing its massive infrastructure development in many sectors, we urge the President to concentrate once again on the industrialization programme it has adopted by reviving collapsed viable industries and introducing new ones to absorb the unemployed youth in the country.

We also urge him to expand his Agriculture initiatives by bringing more youth on board as professional farmers. The government must take more extensive steps to reintroduce state agriculture to suffice the national buffer in his second term.

The government must ensure that the country's natural resources are extracted to the benefit of Ghanaians. Government must take active and fearless steps to take back our resources from the hands of Western multinational imperial companies. This will make the Party and government more relevant to the ordinary poor in society.

We urge Ghanaians not to step back in supporting the JM administration and his second term bid.
