NPP has not learnt from its mistakes, still trying to manipulate Ghanaians – Fiifi Kwetey

National Democratic Congress (NDC) General Secretary Fiifi Fiavi Kwetey has criticized the New Patriotic Party (NPP) for its continuing attempts to manipulate the Ghanaian public through scandals. Speaking on Metro TV, Kwetey asserted that the NPP has not learned from its past mistakes and is employing desperate tactics to sway public opinion.

He argued that the NPP believes it can force the sun to rise early by using scandals to influence voters, despite the electorate becoming more discerning. The NDC chief contends that Ghanaians are now less easily swayed and that the NPP must recognize this reality. Kwetey pointed out that the public's heightened awareness places a responsibility on the NDC government to acknowledge its own shortcomings rather than defending every action.

He emphasized the need for the government to demonstrate humility and a willingness to improve, rather than gaslighting the public. While he believed the current administration is outperforming the previous NPP government, Kwetey clarified that this does not imply the country has reached an ideal state but rather that citizens can identify improvements in governance.

He highlighted the NDC's commitment to holding individuals accountable for misconduct, regardless of political affiliation, as evidence of its dedication to good governance. In terms of the economy, Kwetey criticized the previous NPP administration for its lack of fiscal discipline, accusing the party of allowing widespread financial indiscipline.

He also slammed former Vice President and NPP flagbearer Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, accusing him of being responsible for the economic deception during the previous administration. Kwetey concluded by stating that the NPP's decision to select Dr Bawumia for a second leadership term demonstrated the party's failure to learn from its past mistakes.
