The opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) has hit back at assertions by the Atta Mills-led NDC administration at the recently re-introduced “Setting the Records Straight” forum that they (NPP) mismanaged the country’s economy and have instead accused the ruling party of failing to improve innovative policies and programmes it inherited.
At a press conference dubbed “Vigilante-Against-Propaganda” held in Accra on Thursday, a Deputy Communications Director of the NPP, John Boadu said the suggestion by Deputy Minister of Finance, Fifi Kwetey and other government officials that they (NDC) inherited an economic mess or empty coffers is most annoying.
“Three weeks after coming into office, the Mills-led NDC administration spent billions of cedis (out of the empty coffers they inherited from the NPP) just for drinking tea during NDC transitional meetings…But the worst was to follow, as government officials connived with their cronies and paid out gargantuan dubious judgement debts from the coffers they inherited from the NPP administration….Is it not curious that, today, Mr. Fiifi Kwetey and those of his like, in spite of the overwhelming evidence, can still suggest to anybody that they inherited empty coffers?” John Boadu asked.
