Parliamentary candidate for Efutu on the ticket of the Progressive People's Party (PPP), Nana Ofori Owusu has rubbished the launch of the ruling National Democratic Congress' (NDC) Manifesto.
The NDC, on Saturday, 17th September, outdoored their 2016 Manifesto entitled "Changing Lives, Transforming Ghana" at the Sunyani Coronation Park.
During the launch, President John Dramani Ghana and his Vice, Kwesi Amissah-Arthur touted the achievements and aspirations of the party, and charged the Ghanaian electorates to vote them into office for a second term.
Commenting on the NDC Manifesto, Nana Ofori Owusu, who couldn't hide his emotions, expressed disappointment in the ruling party and wondered the logic in the launch of their Manifesto.
According to him, what Ghanaians need is not a launch of Manifesto but rather a roadmap to improving the economy.
He was alarmed that the President and his government would hold a whole ceremony to outdoor their Manifesto when there are pressing needs of Ghanaians yet to be addressed.
To him, the NDC is in government and so their Manifesto is not anything new to Ghanaians.
“They’ve launched the Manifesto and so what? And so what…That the base and the principles of the party are so radically different every 4 years that they should launch a book; and so what if you have launched a Manifesto? What have you done about the previous one? What has been the import?" he questioned.
Nana Ofori Owusu further outlined some economic challenges confronting Ghanaians on Peace FM's Kokrokoo.
“People can’t pay school fees. What does the Manifesto have to do with that? People can’t afford a good living. Malnutrition is killing us in this country. What does your Manifesto have to say about that? Corruption and bribery is still going on to the extent that we lose GHC 4 billion every year to corruption and bribery. What does the Manifesto have to do with that…Manifesto and so what? Manifesto, my foot!”
He therefore urged Ghanaians to vote out the incumbent government for its inability to revamp the economy.
“Ghanaians want practical leaders. We want leaders who can work. We don’t want people who can’t fulfill their promises…That is not what we want," he said.

Some of the guys who have lined themselves up to chop Ndoum's 'cheat Ghanaians money'.He should ask his boss what rate is he offering loans to contractors at Ghana Growth Fund.Then he can talk about the economy.
He is right. If he hasn't got any impact on the people is he not a citizen of Ghana? Is he not feeling the hardship ndc has imposed on Ghanaians?hasn't he got the right to talk in Ghana?;Ghana doesn't belong to ndc, ndc came to power in 2008 when another party has ruled for 8years so do you have sense? Do you think every one is as st*pid as you who have been brainwashed to accept hardship is natural while your leaders are filthy rich through lo*ting? Nana Ofori Owusu was talking for Ghanaians and we support him. So far as JJ Rawlings couldn't rule Ghana forever so will ndc also be. You think today is for you, Tomorrow might not see you.The evil that men do lives after them and what goes around comes around. Ghana shall overcome, IN GOD WE TRUST.
Some of these parliamentary aspirants just talk from their annnnnnuuuuuussss. This guy will not even get 15% of the votes from Efutu. He is just making noise on radio
This guy really amuses me.What is his impact in Winneba ?.He is simply invisible in political affairs in Effutu.I do no think he even understand the socio-econ-political dynamics in Effutu for that matter Winneba.
