Gov’t has conceded Mills has performed poorly - Nyaho-Tamakloe
A leading member of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr. Nyaho-Tamakloe says an attempt by the Local Government Minister to rationalize the need for Ghanaians to give President Mills a second term is a clear concession that the NDC administration has been disappointing.”He was reacting to comments made by Mr Samuel Ofosu-Ampofo in an interview with Joy News in which he said the country will see a lot more development should President Mills be re-elected.
“I think that the fairest thing we can give is that we must allow tradition to continue… And the tradition is that from 1992 Ghanaians have given every government that has been voted into power the maximum eight years to do all that the government thinks that it can do.
“Most of the achievements that President Kufuor made were in the last four years of his tenure,” Mr Ofosu-Ampofo had said.
But Dr. Nyaho Nyaho Tamakloe said the minister’s remarks suggest the NDC is staring defeat in the face for failing to live up to the expectations of Ghanaians.
He said the Local Government Minister’s suggestion was inconsistent with the 1992 constitution which sets a four-year term for elected governments.
“We have a constitution and the constitutional requirement ensures that a non-performing administration like the current NDC government can be voted out of office,” he said, adding to say that all governments have been given a second and that Mills must also be given same, his performance not withstanding is a rather risible argument.
Dr Nyaho-Tamakloe believes that given Mr Ofosu-Ampofo’s experience as a former National Orgnaiser of the NDC, he appreciated the pulse of the nation and was clearly sensing defeat hence his attempt to resort to rationalisation for a second term.
