Economist and lecturer at the Kumasi Technical University , Rev Thomas Kusi Boafo has observed that the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) recognizes the contributions of hard working members more than the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP).
He indicates that the NDC is bereft of ideas in managing the economy which is one of its major shortfalls but in terms of member recognition as to who helped it to win an election it is the best among equals.
“NDC has no ideas in running an economy that is an open secret. But I will assure you that the day the party is able to perform well in that sector coupled with its ability to cater and elevate persons who have contributed in diverse ways for its successes, they will rule for a very long time”, he observed.
According to him, the NPP despite its experience is noted for neglecting those who are always key for its victory paving the way for electoral entrepreneurs who now determine who should be given what position.
“This is so because the party has allowed itself to be hooked by these chiefs and entrepreneurs. Go to the grassroots as we speak there is serious apathy because some persons are already feeling neglected”, he disclosed.
He however warned that if care is not taken, the NPP will press an automatic self destruction button especially in the choice of its Metropolitan, Municipal and District Chief Executives (MMDCEs).
“If you are a general and don’t know those who helped you to win a war be certain to lose the next war. The NDC has no economic management expertise which is their major problem but if they are able to pass that test, then the NPP must brace itself for a bigger challenge”, he warned.

People how on earth can our universities produce useful graduates when such wretched i-d-1-0-ts are lecturing them. Is it not better for a government to properly manage an economy well so that at the end of the day all Ghanaians will earn good salaries and entrepreneurs can also get good returns on their investments that we can all have a good life as a people.People are clamouring for positions in government simply because they have nothing to do. Do you see people like Kennedy Agyepong fighting tooth and nail for positions?Of course with the NDC when they get power all they think about is reward to members.So are those of us who think that the NDC is spawned by the devil himself not fit to survive under NDC?The lecturer should stop talking like he has no brain.If he has nothing useful to say he should just s-h -u-t up There will never be enough jobs for any government to share amongst the so many individuals who help it to gain power.
Mr. Lecturer please come again. I am confused. How do you want NPP to reward hard working members?. Do you prefer a government that will manage the economy to benefit every Ghanaian to another who will reward its so called hardworking members but will mismanage the economy?. I know if NPP manages the economy to benefit every Ghanaian, in the 2020 elections even NDC members would vote for NPP.
Nana Addo is one person and he has others like John Buadu, Asenso,Mac Manu, Frema and Bediatuo advising on this MCE/DCE appointments. Some are clearly settling old scores. We should know that in 2018, we will elect MCE/DCEs and therefore we should choose candidates who will be selected when that time comes. the lecturer has said it all and John Buadu should take note. As Mac Manu, he has achieved so much that the next time NPP goes to opposition, he just say byebye to politics.
Well said, food foe thought whether we like it all not. Facts are facts. Thank you Mr. Lecturer. Instead of taking the advise, as usual people are there to twist the facts.
So @nhyiraba k. ofoz and Mr. Lecturer, which party is doing what right for the totality of the country Ghana? Hardworking party members must be rewarded in truth sense that their diligent efforts would be translated into nation building for the collective good of all. Parties have their internal mechanism for holding the members together. Rewarding hardworking party supporters at the expense of the collective nation building is corruption at the highest level and unnecessary drain on the nation's economy, leaving the nation building in a square peg in round hole. We will turn around and accuse the same NPP, for creating jobs for the "boys and cronies." So where do we go from here? Mr. Lecturer.
There will always be doomsday prophets. But the truth is, any sane person given the mandate to lead the people will do things as he sees fit. We may disagree with their methods and decisions but they ultimately will be the ones to face the court of the people come the next elections. All other people, including me, have a right to make suggestions but please let's do so politely and circumspectly without assuming the ruling ( or more correctly, leading) party and its leader know nothing and Carr's about nothing. Thank you.
