The Minority Leader, Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson, has charged the people of Mankessim to vote
out the Akufo-Addo/Bawumia government and send a clear message to all politicians that
the electorates cannot be taken for granted.
He said the upcoming election will determine the destiny of the country which is currently
headed in the wrong direction.
Dr. Ato Forson was speaking at a forum of teachers, traders, artisans and Christian and
Muslim leaders at Mankessim in the Mfantseman constituency as part of his campaign tour
of the Central region.
Blaming the ruling NPP government for destroying Ghana and running the country’s
economy aground thereby inflicting hardship on Ghanaians, he warned that Ghanaians
should not reward the New Patriotic Party (NPP) for its abysmal performance.
Dr. Ato Forson accused the Akufo-Addo/Bawumia government of engaging in reckless and
excessive borrowing, taking Ghana’s debt stock from GHS120 billion in 2016 to a staggering
GHS761 billion, in just under eight years, with very little or nothing to show for the loans.
The Minority Leader also accused the government for taking peoples’ hard-earned
investments through its debt exchange programme, describing it as “an act of wickedness
that must be punished by the electorate”
.
He urged the gathering to support President Mahama’s vision for the country, assuring that
the NDC will implement transformational policies to support micro and small businesses and
artisans.
Dr Ato Forson also reiterated President Mahama’s pledge to establish a modern market for
Mankessim, similar to the ultra-modern Kotokuraba market built by the NDC in Cape Coast.
