The Minority Leader in Parliament, Alexander Afenyo-Markin, has criticised the National Democratic Congress (NDC) government for what he describes as a lack of tangible results in its first year in office.
Commenting on the state of the economy and the government’s performance, Afenyo-Markin questioned whether the administration had undertaken any major projects or settled outstanding payments to contractors who had secured bank loans 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.
He stressed that macroeconomic indicators are meaningless if they do not improve the lives of 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.
