Alexander Kwamena Afenyo-Markin, the Minority Leader in Parliament, has fired shots at the John Mahama National Democratic Congress (NDC) government.
The minority leader has accused the NDC government of deceiving Ghanaians.
According to Afenyo-Markin, the NDC has failed to live up to the expectations and promises made to Ghanaians.
The Minority leader further rallied the NPP grassroots members, calling for cohesion, discipline, and renewed commitment.
Speaking at a gathering of party sympathisers in Sefwi-Wiawso in the Western North Region on Saturday, June 20, Alexander Kwamena Afenyo-Markin stated, “We should ask ourselves, is the NDC delivering on its promises? The NDC is a complete scam. They are 419 people. They come to you and lie to you, and when you give them power, they do nothing.
“But they can only achieve that if we ourselves are divided. So today, in Sefwi-Wiawso, I speak to the entire region on behalf of the flagbearer, on behalf of Parliament, on behalf of all the elders of the party and plead with you to unite.”
Also, Sammi Awuku, the Member of Parliament for Akuapim North, has launched a scathing attack on the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) government.
According to Sammi Awuku, the NDC promised heaven and earth, yet they have failed woefully and will be voted out.
He argued that the NDC administration under John Mahama has failed to deliver on its many promises to Ghanaians.
Sammi Awuku is quoted to have said, “The NDC promised heaven and earth in the 2024 elections; how many of these promises have they fulfilled? See this 24-Hour economy policy, it remains a scam. Look at unemployment in Ghana now; it has skyrocketed than before, this administration has failed woefully and will be voted out in 2028.”
“The NPP is the only party we have, the only vehicle that we all ride; only unity can get us the victory we want in 2028. Let’s remain united and stand behind Dr Bawumia for the goal ahead.”
Speaking on the floor of Parliament on the rising unemployment situation in the country on Thursday, June 11, 2026, Sammi Awuku stated, “Mr Speaker, the situation we face today go beyond somebody proposing an indomie 1 3 3 economy situation. The situation we face today is that young people are not asking for pity.
In our various constituencies today, maybe my colleague will try to shy away from that problem; there’s a growing trend where young people, after acquiring a degree, because there are no jobs, they are now looking forward to applying for another course to obtain another degree. They keep filing these certificates with a job deferred for a date that they cannot even tell,” he added.
The MP added, “We were in this Chamber when the NDC themselves brought this 24-hour economy thing before our very august House. We are almost into 24 months since they got into this government. And today, if you go to even the 24-hour economy secretariat, they themselves do not practise that 24-hour economy that they are talking about”.
“Isn’t it strange that, Mr Speaker, we have a government today that will tell you that we are launching a 1 million coders programme. Almost 18 months or more into the attainment, they have not even been able to onboard even 100,000 out of the 1 million.
“Go to the Ministry for Youth Development. Even that Ministry itself is underfunded. They themselves need a rescue and a bailout,” he claimed.
Sammi Awuku further added, “Our colleagues should not reduce this unemployment situation… It is a national security matter. Because if the young people in our various constituencies cannot see any end in sight, the politicians become a target for the opposition,” he said.
“Under the Big Push programme, this year, they said they were going to employ about 900,000 young people. We are in June. They haven’t been able to employ 10,000 out of it,” he alleged.
