Mahama not cause of economic woes – Akua Donkor replies CPP
The 2012 flag-bearer of the Ghana Freedom party,
Akua Donkor has lauded the successes that the John
Mahama Government has chalked since the President
took office in January 2013.

Akua Donkor, who mounted the stage at the
governing National Democratic Congress’s ongoing
national delegates’ congress in the Ashanti
regional capital, Kumasi said: "John Mahama is
what Ghana needs right now and whoever says
Ghanaians are suffering under Mahama is telling a
lie."

Her comment has been interpreted by some persons
at the congress grounds as a direct response to
the CPP’s General Secretary Ivor Greenstreet,
who earlier, on the same stage told the President
in the face that "nobody is feeling your better
Ghana."

Greenstreeet told the President and Vice President
Kwesi Amissah-Arthur in the face that: "You
don’t care… Nobody is feeling your better
Ghana."

He said it was a shame the party was not working
at finding solutions to the difficulties the
country is currently facing, but rather converging
to share Christmas gifts.

"We would have thought that perhaps, you may have
used an occasion like this to discuss policies
programs and solutions to all the difficulties we
are facing as a nation, but no, u chose today to
share your charismas gifts with each other.
Ghanaians are not happy at all, the Bronya is dry,
too too dry”


But Akua Donkor said the hardships that Ghanaians
are faced with is not John Mahama’s doing. The
farmer-turned-politician said the difficulties
predate Mahama’s presidency all the way to the
administration of the first President of Ghana, Dr
Kwame Nkrumah.

"Blame Nkrumah. He changed our pounds to Cedi…
When Kufuor took us to HIPC didn’t you see? When
we were using Kufuor gallons didn’t you see?"
she wondered.

"John mahama is the one who has led us into
agricultural independence and food flut. See our
food crops, cassava, yam …there is a lot of food
in the country. He has used just three years to
change the face of the broken economy," Donkor
said.
