NPP ignorant of governance issues - Lante Vanderpuye
A presidential aide, Nii Lante Vanderpuye says the
incessant complaints by the New Patriotic Party
(NPP) that President Mills has failed to
acknowledge their contribution in development
projects indicate their ignorance of governance.

He argued that governance is a continuous process
and so there is nothing wrong if the Mills
administration continued projects started by the
NPP.

The opposition NPP accused President Mills of
deliberately failing to acknowledge the Kufuor-led
administration for projects it started and which
the NDC has completed.

They insist that the president is only engaged in
re-commissioning of old projects and taking credit
for those he did not start.

On Asempa FM's Ekosii Sen programme Friday, Nii
Lante explained that the previous administration
has been duly recognized for projects they
started, explaining that “President Mills has
continually given credit to projects that was
started by the NPP”.

According to him, some projects are long-term and
would need successive governments to complete
them.

He said President Mills' priority is to conclude
projects started by his administration and not a
focus on completion of other people's projects.

He noted that, even though it is important not to
politicize issues, the government also needs
commendation for completing most of the projects
it began after only two years in Office.

Nii Lante Vanderpuye who described President Mills
recent tour of the Ashanti region as a success,
said “the Better Ghana Agenda is a vision in
progress; it's continuing and signs are showing."
