The Convention People�s Party (CPP) says the Mahama-led administration lacks ideas and meaningful programmes for the development of the country. The party stated emphatically that the President had failed to clarify his vision for the transformation of the country. President Mahama is compelled by his responsibility to �we the people� to tell the nation how he proposes to deal with the question of corruption in his government and the development policy guidelines on his development philosophy, according to the CPP. Nii Armah Akomfrah, CPP�s Director of Communication, in a statement issued in Accra with particular reference to recent expos� by the Member of Parliament (MP) for Nadowli West, Alban Sumana Bagbin and the statement of the General Secretary of the NDC, noted that the Mahama led-administration was getting it all wrong. Hon. Bagbin, described as one of the government�s �Three Wise Men,� recently claimed the President was inaccessible, stating that he was �deeply worried� about governance in the country. He also claimed that he had �complained in silence� for far too long about the raging corruption which is eating deep into the fabric of the society. �Recently, I had to call the president for me to say since I cannot get you people in private to advise, I will start advising you in public because I am deeply worried about the situation in Ghana.� But Nii Armah Akomfrah maintained that the Presidency must engage the citizenry on the issues raised by Hon Bagbin. The CPP said the President�s analogy of a car in first gear was inexact and unsatisfactory, adding that �his failure to note the weakening or our diminished resolve and capacity to struggle for economic freedom and the descent to new forms of dependency and subjugation in our development efforts is cause for concern. It averred that after the overthrow of the CPP government of the First Republic, development had stagnated under the governments of the NDC and NPP. Under the full employment policy of the CPP government dubbed, Work and Happiness,� Nii Armah Akomfrah stated that investments were made in the agricultural and manufacturing sectors to cater for all human needs, stressing that the rate of unemployment was low. The economy, it recalled, was on the threshold of industrialisation and the achievement of an internally sustained economy while investments in the social sectors of health and education gave Ghanaians a satisfactory standard of living. �Currently as a result of the privatisation and divestiture of the public investments of the CPP government of the First Republic and the consequent redeployment and redundancy programmes of the NDC and NPP governments, the rate of unemployment is unbearable. Our manufacturing sector has been suffocated and undermined with a misguided trade liberalisation policy. �A word to the President from the CPP is that this country is not moving forward but backwards and our people are living in dire economic circumstances with few opportunities. It is time for the NDC government to engage the nation with clearly defined and enunciated development policy. �The opulence in government must be reversed because it is sickening when there is such widespread abject poverty. �We take the opportunity to thank Mr. Bagbin for his recognition that he is in bad company, and as a man of integrity he cannot and should not remain there. �As for the government, the damage to its moral authority to govern by the allegation of its own �wise man� is irredeemable and Ghanaians will definitely make an electoral note in 2016.
