Ndoum lambasts Mahama for using tax payer’s money to campaign

FOUNDER of the Progressive Peoples’ Party (PPP), Dr. Papa Kwesi Nduom, has lambasted President Mahama for using taxpayers’ money to fund his political campaigns.

According to Dr Nduom, there is enough of what he described as “real evidence” on the ground to prove that president Mahama is using taxpayers’ money to conduct his campaigns in the country.

He accused president Mahama for branding the metro mass transit buses popularly known as Kufuor bus with his photograph as well as photographs of some former leaders for political expediency.

“It is campaigning that they are doing with my tax money,” he said.

PPP’s founder further accused the President for having his image embossed on outboard motors distributed to fishermen by the government recently.

Dr. Nduom was speaking to journalists after filing his tax returns at the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA).

He commended the government for resuscitating the sugar factory in Komenda, but said, “I am not happy that the factory has been built, they are employing people but there is no sugarcane that has been planted.”

The PPP leader wants to know how government intends to feed the factory when they have failed to plant the raw material needed. He laments government importing sugarcane to serve the factory.

He called on the President to ensure that he uses taxpayers’ money “wisely for development.”

Commenting on the President’s State of the Nation Address delivered February 25, Dr. Nduom questioned the “evidence-based” delivery of President Mahama.

He said places such as Komenda and Tema have enough evidence to disprove the President’s claims in his speech to Parliament.
