The Minority Leader and Member of Parliament for Effutu, Alexander Kwamena Afenyo-Markin, has criticised the National Democratic Congress (NDC) government, accusing it of failing to deliver tangible results in its first year in office.
Speaking on the state of the economy and the administration’s overall performance, Afenyo-Markin questioned whether the government had undertaken any significant development projects or fulfilled financial obligations to contractors who borrowed from banks 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 argued that macroeconomic indicators and statistical gains are meaningless if they do 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.
