Former Member of Parliament for Tamale Central, Inusah Fuseini, has criticized the New Patriotic Party (NPP)'s 2024 manifesto, alleging that it is merely a repetition of previous promises and rhetoric.

Speaking on JoyNews’ NewsFile on August 24, Fuseini expressed disappointment with the manifesto's content, asserting that it echoes past assurances made by Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, which he claims remain unfulfilled.

“Their manifesto is a mere repetition and rhetoric. He told you he was going to move Ghana from taxation to production. He told you there was no reason why Ghana roads should not be paved with concrete. He said that kayaye ought not to be living at Agbobloshie but he was going to move them and build for them,” Fuseini said.

He criticized the NPP for failing to deliver on these promises, pointing to the government's track record on various initiatives.

“He told us many things. He told us the NPP was developing the largest hydroelectric and irrigation dam in the north. What we have come to realise is that money has been sunk in the dam with no results. So there are many things that he said,” Fuseini added.

Moreover, Mr Fuseini alleged that the NPP's 2024 manifesto includes 320 promises that closely mirror those from the National Democratic Congress (NDC)'s 2020 manifesto. He accused the NPP of borrowing from the NDC's previous proposals, asserting that the current manifesto lacks originality.

“When we said we were going to establish a women's bank because there should be gender inclusiveness in the economic development of this country and the best way is to establish a financial institution that would care for and provide the sources, what did they (NPP) say? Now, they said they are going to establish a fund,” he explained.
