La Beach demolition: NDC gov't that promised jobs is rather destroying businesses - Bawumia
He further accused the Mahama administration of struggling to fulfil many of its lofty promises.
Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, the flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has expressed dissatisfaction with the Mahama administration's decision to demolish businesses, including La Beach. He questioned why a government that had promised to create jobs was instead responsible for destroying them. Despite the stability of the cedi, businesses continue to struggle and the cost of living remains high.
Bawumia criticized the Mahama administration for failing to fulfill many of its promises, particularly its 24-hour economy policy with a 1:3:3 shift. Nearly two years have passed since the implementation of this policy, yet jobs have not materialized. During the NPP conference in Kumasi on Saturday, October 3, Bawumia marked the beginning of a new chapter for the NPP, as they prepare for the 2028 general elections.
The party's Minority Leader, Alexander Afenyo-Markin, urged the NPP and the opposition to hold the Mahama government accountable for its decisions, without fear of arrest or intimidation. Afenyo-Markin, speaking on behalf of Dr Bawumia, emphasized that as the NPP's flagbearer, he is a doer and problem solver. Former President John Agyekum Kufuor also addressed the gathering, stating that the people of Ghana are eager for the NPP to lead the country towards prosperity and transformation.
In a video message played at the conference, Kufuor appealed to the party's members to select a competent national executive committee to restore the people's trust in the government. Former President John Evans Atta Mills also expressed his support for the NPP, stating that the nation needs the party to guide it towards success.
