NDC communicator defends manifesto process, Mahama’s delivery record
NDC National Communication Team member Julius Karl Fieve has rejected claims that political parties, particularly the NDC, do not take research seriously when developing their policies and manifestos.
Julius Karl Fieve, a member of the NDC's National Communication Team, has defended the party's manifesto development process in response to claims that political parties, especially the NDC, do not take research seriously. Speaking on Joy Prime’s News Flash, Fieve stated that the NDC's 2024 manifesto was the result of extensive research, consultations, and engagements with Ghanaians from various sectors.
He emphasized that the party formed committees at various levels, bringing together experts from diverse backgrounds as part of the process. Fieve also highlighted that the NDC engaged people directly on the ground, speaking with those who would lead Ghana, including school children, university students, and market women.
However, Fieve suggested that such criticism could apply to the NPP, citing examples such as the "one village one dump" manifesto promise for a village without water. He described a situation where a proposal to pay churches was later dismissed as a joke. Fieve argued that the NDC's approach was different and pointed to the government's delivery on its promises.
He cited free Senior High School education, support for first-year university students, the 24-hour market initiative, and the economy as areas where the NDC government was delivering. Fieve maintained that the government's record of implementation served as evidence that its manifesto was not developed without research, stating that a government that is delivering cannot be bereft of research.
