Former Member of Parliament for Bantama Constituency in the Ashanti Region, Henry Kwabena Kokofu says the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) is being hypocritical by creating the impression that their attempt to seek ideas from Ghanaians is first of its kind in the political history of the country.
According to him, there is nothing wrong asking Ghanaians for their opinion as it is the basis for knowing the challenges facing the people, but then the opposition NDC is making it look as though the exercise is an innovative way which is unprecedented.
Speaking on Okay FM’s 'Ade Akye Abia' Morning Show, Henry Kokofu commended the Special Aide to former President Mahama, Lawyer Edidzi Tamakloe for acknowledging that the late President Atta Mills did the same thing, consulting Ghanaians to discuss their challenges in the country.
“Indeed, the NDC in 2012 and 2016 elections said they have spoken with Ghanaians and are delivering what Ghanaians want. Even in 2008, the late President Atta Mills during his campaign said they have gone to all Ghanaians and that they preferred to have a one-time premium for the NHIS than the one they pay every year,” he argued.
He insisted that it is not the first time the NDC has embarked on such an exercise to solicit ideas from Ghanaians, but the danger has always been that the NDC never worked with any of the ideas from the public.
“When the NDC said one time premium for the NHIS, they never mentioned it again when they came into power," he referred.
He recalled that former President John Mahama followed the late President Mills to assure the Chiefs and people of the Western Region that the NDC government will give them 10 percent of the oil revenue, but former President failed to honour that promise when his predecessor died.

This man is ***barred word***. He sat on asempa fm and said the issue of flooding in Accra will be resolved as soon as the npp take over power but what do we see? Same way nana Akomea complained bitterly about the NDC'S 88 ministers but again what do we see with Nana Addo's government. ***barred word*** bunch. Kokofu stop the noise for most Ghanaians are not stuuupid. And you are gradually being obtuse. Ofuiiiiiiii.
We are not happy with President Nana Addo because he keeps echoing what former President John Mahama did wrong to the people who voted him to correct all the mistakes of Mahama and make it right again.
The most stupiiid and foolishhh president in Ghana is Akufo Addo. He look like a monkey. Is not this Monkey fault. Is central Region. There will be Arab Spring in Ghana 2020. Monkey Akufo Addo should come and arrest me. Foolishhh president
Because that is all they can do. They themselves have NO IDEAS to govern! Poor NDC!
Lawyer Kokofu let them classify it as something unprecedented why not? ndc stu*pidity is unprecedented in the whole world. Where in this world have you seen a serious p oooo litucal party with no ideas,no vision, no policy iness they consult the citizenry for ideas, if the people are better in thinking than you then they don't need you ! you just left power less than 4 years and you don't know what the people need unless you ask them is that not st*upid? no wonder their governance was all about create loot and share ! I would have agreed if they were in opposition for 8 or 12 years and the government was out of touch with the people but not a popular government who is even hailed in an opposition enclave ! ndc go find your brains and put on your thinking caps since all these won't help you! Ghanaians are not even ready to share anything with you because there is nothing wrong with this government and you just need ideas to win elections and after that's all nothing good will come out, insults and arrogance, order from above and intimidation, create loo000*00t and share ,handing over 80% of our bauxite to family and suba ,sada and gyeeda to friends! cancellation of free SHS, cancellation of teacher and nurses trainee allowances, cancellation of zongo development fund, cancellation of Islamic teachers allowances, cancellation of NABCO, bringing back dumsor etc ! ndc is a scary alternative not good for Ghana!
