The
Progressive People's Party (PPP) has reacted to the speech by the flagbearer of
the New Patriotic Party (NPP) that he has the requisite experience to bolster growth
in the private sector.
The PPP believes its flagbearer, Papa Kwesi Nduom, has more private sector experience and direct job creation that benefits Ghanaians than any of the other candidates vying for the country’s top job.
Nana Akufo-Addo, in his speech at the 3rd IEA Presidential Debate on Tuesday, said that the fact that he facilitated the entry of the first mobile telephone company into the country in the early nineties proves his mettle as a man who can grow the business sector.
But a statement signed by the National Secretary of the PPP said the NPP's candidate comes nowhere near the experience of their candidate.
“As opposed to helping a foreign company like Mobitel come to Ghana, Dr. Papa Kwesi Nduom has built Ghanaian enterprises that provide a livelihood to over 25,000 Ghanaians. His enterprises directly employ over 2,000 individuals. Just one of them provides access to finance and savings to over 250,000 customers,” adding “it is important to note that Dr. Nduom has made sure that he has provided opportunity to Ghanaians to be employed and supported many more to become entrepreneurs in all ten regions of the country,” he said.
The PPP further slammed Nana Addo for his opinion on the ensuing debate about the decoupling of the Ministry of Justice and Attorney General. Nana Addo who is a served in the ministry under the Kufuor administration said that he does not find the argument for separating the Attorney General's office from the Ministry of Justice very compelling.
Nana Addo cited the prosecution of Mallam Issa who a Minister of Sports at the time as an example of how the Attorney General’s Department can be professional without being separated from the Justice Ministry.
But the PPP says ‘Mallam Issa’s case proves the point that the system today is more enthusiastic about prosecuting you if you are not a member of the ruling party. Mallam Issa was a member of the PNC and not the NPP. Subsequent allegations made against NPP ministers were not aggressively pursued leading to the shelving of the “Zero Tolerance Against Corruption”
