The National Youth Organizer of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP), Henry Nana Boakye (Nana B), has taken a swipe at the opposition National Democratic Congress, NDC, over their responses to the government’s agenda to use digitalization to transform the economy.
It would be recalled that the Vice President, H.E. Alhaji Dr. Mahamadu Bawumia held a public lecture at Ashesi University to outline several policies being implemented by the government to drastically reduce the inefficiencies and corruption in public services delivery; enhance domestic revenue mobilization; improve efficiency in the health sector; provide financial inclusion and a cash-lite economy among other things.
As expected, the NDC has been responding to the issues raised in the lecture by Dr. Bawumia, with some accusing him of peddling falsehood and setting unrealistic goals.
Reacting to the NDC, Nana B strongly cautioned the them to desist from exposing their ignorance and emptiness on the subject in a brazing manner.
“It’s quite shocking that the NDC that has proven, over time, to be clueless and bankrupt in knowledge and understanding of digitization and digitalization could gather confidence to speak against the unprecedented digital infrastructure being built by this government to make life very simple and easy for Ghanaians” Nana B has said.
He added that “it’s trite knowledge that the NDC is incompetent in the field of digital technology. In 2016 and 2020 elections, they couldn’t put up a system to collate their results — such a basic exercise that a first-year IT student could have done with such ease, the incompetent NDC couldn’t do it”.
The Youth Leader of the NPP has thus advised Ghanaians to be wary of the plain lies and fabrications of the NDC directed at discrediting government policies that have far-reaching benefits for the ordinary Ghanaian.
“This government has been people-centered and every single policy we have implemented has brought comfort to the citizenry. Today, Ghanaians can sit in the comfort of their homes to renew their NHIS, open bank accounts and so on. I entreat Ghanaians to support the government to deliver on its mandate” Nana B added.
