President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has strongly disputed policy think tank IMANI Africa’s recent score of 48% with regards to the fulfillment of the NPP's 2016 manifesto promises.
Addressing the media at the Jubilee House on Friday, 13 December, 2019, for the third time since becoming President, Nana Akufo-Addo dismissed suggestions that his administration is "sleeping" on the job.
“I disagree with the 48 per cent assessment....We are working with a figure of 72 per cent,” he stated.
IMANI Figures
Imanifesto is a progress report which seeks to validate the promises made by the NPP in the run-up to the 2020 polls and how many of those promises have been accomplished three years on.
It assessed areas of governance, economy, social sector, infrastructure and human capital investment.
IMANI gave the 48.78% in its 2019 Imanifesto report.
The policy think tank also scored the government 54.35% for its handling of the economy. The manifesto assessments by IMANI which was outdoored Wednesday, said government has only implemented 41 out of the 162 promises it made in the party’s 2016 manifesto.
Fundamental Disagreement
But it appears IMANI's rating of the ruling party's fulfillment of its manifesto promises has not gone down well with the President, who believes his administration is on track.
“So, we have a fundamental disagreement on the figure. Our figure, our assessment is the accurate one,” President Akufo-Addo added.

Governance is not a joke and should not be treated as such. IMANI must sit up and stop their jokes! Nobody forced them to be any "Think tank" so if they cannot think, they should spare Ghanaians. If even a student who knows what he has written feels marks awarded do not match his work can call for a remark how much a caring Government who knows the impact of its work on the people? Everyone in Ghana knows that Franklin Cujoe and his cohorts are an NDC campaign wing so what should we expect from them? In reality, the 72% awarded by the President is very conservative.
Ei, nana addo, you can boast too much. 72% for this bogus leadership you are offering?
This is simple. Show what was promised and what has been done. No fighting, we will judge.
Can we trust IMANI AFRICA at all ?
MR PRESIDENT, SEE THE 48%IS EVEN TOO HIGH, IN 2020 YOU WILL SEE YOUR REAL RATING. NO NEED TO ARGUE AT ALL.
hahah set your own exam , write and mark yourself 72%....thats NPP for you. Ghanaians should rate them, they want to rate themselves. wait for the real rating in 2020. incompetency in the highest level
IMANI is bias anyway, never supported free SHS does why they gave it 36%
