NDC Has Made No Real Impact After One Year in Office – Afenyo-Markin
Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin criticises NDC government for failing to deliver tangible benefits to citizens and contractors in its first year in office
- No tangible results after one year
- Concerns over unpaid contractors
- Afenyo-Markin emphasised that macroeconomic indicators are meaningless if they do not improve citizens’ lives
The Minority Leader in Parliament, Alexander Afenyo-Markin, has criticised the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC), accusing it of failing to deliver meaningful results within its first year in office.
Assessing the government’s performance and the state of the economy, Afenyo-Markin questioned whether the administration had implemented any major development projects or settled arrears owed to contractors who secured bank loans to execute public works.
“Last year, 2025, what did the government do? Did it pay contractors who had worked and borrowed from banks? If the economy is stagnating and we continue to talk about paper growth, I am interested in the cocoa farmer and the real impact on citizens,” he said.
The Minority Leader stressed that macroeconomic data alone cannot be considered progress if it does not translate into improved living conditions for ordinary Ghanaians.
“I am not here to talk about numbers that have no effect. If the numbers have made a positive impact, I will acknowledge and applaud them. But so far, one year in office, the government has not made any real impact,” he added.
