The running mate of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr.

Matthew Opoku Prempeh, has accused the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) of blocking efforts to address employment shortages and boost the economy.

According to the Member of Parliament for Manhyia South, the government has introduced bills to employ more nurses, teachers, police officers, immigration officers, and prison officers, but the NDC opposes any measures to create jobs in Ghana.

There have been ongoing tensions between the Majority and Minority caucuses over which side holds the majority in the House, which has impacted parliamentary proceedings in recent weeks.
