Mahama breaks record of presidential travels – Napo
Member of Parliament for Manhyia, Dr. Matthew
Opoku Prempeh has criticized what he described as
wasteful foreign travels by President John
Mahama.

In his view, in spite of the huge per diems and
entourage, the frequent trips abroad by the
president have not yielded any positive results
for Ghana.

“President Mahama has broken the record of
presidential travels abroad in the history of
Ghana. In the last three months, he is virtually
out of the country every week yet Ghanaians are
languishing in abject poverty,” he added.

Dr. Opoku Prepmeh popularly called 'Napo', made
the comment on Asempa FM’s "Ekosii Sen"
programme Tuesday.

President Mahama last week left the country for
the United Kingdom and took time off to embark on
a two-day official visit to Denmark.

After that visit he traveled to Oslo, Norway on
Monday, October 27 to address a wide group of
businessmen and investors.

Prior to this, he has made several travels and
visited countries like US, Turkey, China, Dubai,
Japan and a host of African countries as
president.

But Dr. Opoku Prempeh said there are more pressing
domestic issues to deal with than always junketing
abroad under the guise of wooing investors.

According to him, vice President, Kwesi
Amissah-Arthur or the Foreign Affairs Minister,
Hannah Tetteh can represent him on such trips
while he [Mahama] turns his attention to the
numerous domestic issues like the public sector
strikes.

“Though he predecessor former President John
Kufuor was criticized for frequent foreign trips,
it yielded positive results,” he noted.

Napo called on President Mahama to cut down on the
travels and work on the snail pace to which his
government is working to bring some respite to
Ghanaians.

“People like the Chief of Staff, Prosper Bani
are taking advantage of President Mahama’s
absence to arrogate powers unto themselves,” he
claimed.
