The First Vice Chairperson of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Sherry Ayitey, has stated that the next NDC government will deal drastically with any official of the Akufo-Addo led-government found to have engaged in corruptible acts.The veteran NDC member stated that the NDC led government would enforce the law on corruption and that, those who need to go to prison would go to prison, those whose property need to be confiscated by the state to pay for the money they have stolen, would be done.
The NPP government has borrowed more than twice what we did, and the sad aspect is that the government has failed to explain to Ghanaians what they have used the money for.
Our roads, water, schools, and unemployment among others are not the best so, what are they using the money for?, she queried.Ms. Ayitey said this at the partys 31st-anniversary celebration at Ningo-Gangan in the Assin North Constituency of the Central Region ahead of the by-election slated for Tuesday, June 27.
She recounted the struggles of the party from the Armed Forces Revolutionary Council (AFRC), through the Provisional National Defense Council (PNDC) to NDC, and said the party was working hard to win the by-election and 2024 general elections.According to her, the party was focused on taking up the mantle of leadership to restore hope for the country as the NDC had contributed to the development of the country more than any political party in the Fourth Republic.She said in the health, economic, educational, energy, and water sectors, the partys delivery while in government was unmatched.
We have performed better during our tenure in office than our opponents who have used propaganda to throw the dust into the eyes of the people. Therefore, we have every reason to celebrate the partys 31 years in existence. We have a better record than others.
To the Ghanaian people and the NPP, I can say without any fear of condemnation that there is no political party as successful as the NDC.I say without fear of contradiction that, there is no political party that has contributed to the economic, social, and democratic transformation of the country more than the NDC, Ns Ayitey stressed.
According to her, the party made immense contribution to Ghanas status as a beacon of hope for democracy in Africa, and that the country owed it to former President Rawlings and the NDC for a liberalized economy that allowed for private participation in the economic management of Ghana and not the NPP.
