The promise to increase cocoa price to GHC6500 has turned out to be a scam - Bawumia
Dr Bawumia said the promises to cocoa farmers to increase the cocoa price to GHC 6500 have turned out to be a scam
Former NPP presidential flagbearer, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, has criticized the previous Mahama administration for failing to honor its commitments to cocoa farmers. The NPP leader alleged that the promises to raise the cocoa price to GHC 6500, automatic postings for teachers and nurses, and improvements in their conditions of service were all lies.
Dr Bawumia also lambasted the NDC government for unfulfilled promises regarding teacher licensure examinations, Menzgold and other financial institutions, and the "Nkoko nkitikiti" program. He stated that the illegal mining issue has been a persistent challenge for every government in the Fourth Republic, and this current NDC administration made numerous promises to Ghanaians without delivering on them.
The NPP leader emphasized that the previous government had made several pledges to address illegal mining, claiming it could be resolved in months and restore Ghana's water bodies to their natural state. He reminded Ghanaians of the NDC's past rhetoric about ending galamsey instantly if elected.
Dr Bawumia concluded by stating that Ghana deserves better and that if the NPP were to assume power in 2029, it would learn from the successes and challenges of both parties to provide a better future for the nation.
