Ghana’s Vice President lists 40 ‘fulfilled’ promises of his government

Intro

The Vice President of Ghana Dr Mahamudu Bawumia has mentioned 40 of what he describes fulfilled promises by the Akufo-Addo government within two years.

In a Facebook post, some of the fulfilled promises included the implementation of the free Senior High School program, mobile money interoperability, digital address system, stabilisation of the cedi, national ID card system, restoration of nursing trainee allowances among others.

Wishing Ghanaians well in the new year, Dr Bawumia said he is looking forward to a “blossoming 2019.”

“We promised Free SHS to reduce the hardship on parents, and we have delivered. We promised to restore teacher training allowances to reduce the hardship on teacher trainees, and we have delivered,” he added.

However, members of the country’s largest opposition party, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) have accused the government of lying its way to power and achieving nothing so far.

 

According to the NDC, the NPP has managed the economy poorly and done worse things than it accused the NDC government of.

But President Nana Akufo-Addo and his party officials believe they have performed creditably well.

Many of the projects, policies and laws mentioned by the Vice President have been launched or at various stages of implementation. The Free SHS for instance has been fully implemented while the One District, One Factory and One District One Warehouse projects are ongoing.

Last week, Ghanaians living in districts marked for the creation of new regions voted overwhelmingly in favour of the decision.

Below is Dr. Bawumia’s full post on Facebook:
