Sammy Gyamfi slams gov't over GH¢500 request to tackle drought

Accra, Ghana - The opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) has sounded the alarm over the government's priorities, citing a recent request to withdraw GH¢500 million from the Contingency Fund as a worrying sign of maladministration.

According to the NDC's Communications Officer, this move exposes the government's lack of planning and foresight in managing the country's resources.

He questioned the rationale behind tapping into the Contingency Fund, which is meant for unforeseen expenses and emergencies.

“After prioritizing corruption, waste and empty sloganeering over prudent management of the economy and the agriculture sector, this is how low the failed NPP government has sunk our dear country," he said in a statement.

"After prioritizing corruption, waste and empty sloganeering over prudent management of the economy and the agriculture sector, this how low the failed NPP government has sunk our dear country.

Our dear nation has been rendered bankrupt such that today, the government cannot even afford GHS500 million to address the imminent food crises the nation is faced with.

This is the same government that spent a whopping $58 million (GHS928 million) on creating the biggest pit in the world under the guise of building a cathedral.

Against wise counsel, they wasted millions of taxpayers money on the rental of luxury private jets so the President could bath in the skies. They squandered millions of taxpayers money on other useless expenditures at the Presidency like there was no tomorrow.

Today the chickens have come to roost.

This is how low we have sunk as a country after all the sweet mouth-watering rhetorics about “One Village one Dam”. This is how low we have sunk after the NPP government spent a colossal GHS3 billion on their much-touted “Planting for Food and Jobs” program.

Oh what a shame; what a disgrace!

Cry, my beloved Ama Ghana, cry!!!!
