THE Upper West Regional Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Mr Eric Dakura has said President J. E. Mills is indirectly putting money into the pockets of Ghanaians through a number of initiatives.
He said the provision of free school uniforms, exercise books, expansion of the National School Feeding Programme, among others, was a clear indication and therefore, called on opponents of the party to give praise where it was due.
Speaking to the Daily Graphic in Wa, Mr Dakura, said it was only under the present government that contracts could be awarded to all Ghanaians, including members of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) “yet they complain that the President was not putting money in their pockets.
“The President cares and will surely deliver the better Ghana agenda. Our dear brothers and sisters in NPP should be patient”, he added
He said it was true that the NDC promised Ghanaians a better Ghana and would surely make the country a better place to live in.
Responding to claims that the party was reneging on its promises, Mr Dakura said it was far from the truth, adding that the promise made to the people of the Northern Region would be fulfilled particularly on the Savanna Accelerated Development Authority (SADA).
“The President will provide SADA with the GH¢ 200 million start – up capital but the revelations at Ghana @ 50 Commission had delayed the process.
He, therefore, called on all well – wishers of the North to commend President Mills and his team on their performance.
According to him, the mess created before the NPP left office needed tough measures to put things back on track and this the NDC was doing.
