Mahama insulting intelligence of Ghanaians - Obiri Boahene
Deputy General Secretary of the New Patriotic
Party (NPP) says the President John Dramani Mahama
is insulting the intelligence of the people of
Western region with the distribution of outboard
motors to fishermen and other freebies.

Speaking with Ekourba Gyasi on Atinka FM AM
Drive, Lawyer Obiri Boahene mentioned that
distributing these items to the people signifies
that the people are vulnerable and that they
accept items prior to elections in order to vote
for candidates.

He mentioned the distribution of these items is a
clear indication that the President and His wife
are using these items to acquire votes from the
people and not considering the long term effects
of their actions.

But the Deputy Campaign Coordinator and Central
Regional Chairman of the National Democratic
Congress (NDC), Lawyer Adu Yeboah debunked the
assertion by the Ghana Integrity Initiative (GII)
that the president's distribution of outboard
motors to fishermen in the Western Region is worse
than vote buying.

He added that the criticisms would not deter the
NDC from continuing the good works that they are
doing in the Western Region as well as other
areas.

Adu Yeboah said the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in
their statements make reference to things they
have and that he does not understand why they are
worried about the distribution of outboard motors
to the people of the Western Region.

“These criticisms will not deter the NDC from
doing the good things that they have been
doing,” he added.
