The First Vice Chair of the outgoing National Democratic Congress (NDC), Madam Anita Disoso has slammed the New Patriotic Party (NPP) for raising an alarm over the recruitment and award of contracts to individuals by government.
Former finance minister, Osafo Marfo in the erstwhile Kufour administration and representative on the transitional team for president-elect, Nana Akufo-Addo has raised an alarm that government was awarding last minute contracts and recruiting people into service institutions nationwide.
“We have heard of ongoing recruitment into the security services now which we hope is not true. We have heard of the conversion of temporary staff of political assistants and some of the staff we took on into permanent public servants.”
“We have heard of the awarding of new contracts after the election results were announced on December 9. We’ve heard of the procurement of sales and national assets also after the results,” the former finance Minister added. He said, “We need to be cautious, we need to be transparent, we need to be candid and we need to be factual. We are therefore appealing to our colleagues that within this period, if there is anything that needs to be done, consultation needs to be brought on board.”
However, Madam Anita Disoso has lambasted the NPP stating that government programs cannot grant to a halt because the NPP has won an election. She quizzed whether the NPP were the ones that constructed the various hospitals and schools for them to come and recruit staff into them. She said, "we [NDC] constructed these facilities and so we will recruit staff to work in them before the NPP takes over office."
Speaking in an interview with Rainbow Radio’s Kwame Tutu, Madam Anita Disoso said, "The EC declared you winners of the election, we did not complain… But you are now crying over the recruitment of staff into various service sectors of the country. Why are you complaining? Have you constructed any school for you to come and recruit teachers into them? Have you constructed any hospital for you to come and recruit nurses into them? They should shut up. They did the same thing to us when they were leaving office in 2008. They signed the single spine pay policy before leaving office. Should we wait for them to come and recruit staff into our various projects? They should wait until 7, January, 2017 to take over and stop complaining."
Anita Disoso emphasized that President Mahama was next to Nkrumah regarding projects and infrastructure but was overthrown through the ballot just like Ghana’s first president.
When asked why the party has waited until elections are over before recruiting people she said, the recruitment went through processes hence the NPP have no basis to raise any false alarm. On the recruitment into the security services she said, the recruitment were done before the election. On the issue of contracts, she indicated that they went through various processes before approval.
She quizzed, "should Ghana come to a halt because Nana Addo has won an election? It is impossible. President Mahama is still the President and until 7, January, 2017, he cannot be questioned for discharging his duties as the leader of the country."

You are very rude and that's led to your defeat, continue and we will sack them. Arrogant
You see! NDC government gave jobs to NDC's alone. That is all they are known for. They think about themselves alone, not all Ghanaians. God will punish them to stay in opposition forever. Nana would work for all Ghanaians. God help NPP!!
Oh Anita, please humble yourself and stop being arrogant. This arrogance caused your defeat in the election.
Please allow Ghana can come too a stand still because Nana ADDO HAS WON president Mahama has to do his work. so ***barred word*** NPP AND STOP COMPLAINING
This woman is ***barred word*** ***barred word***,and I do not think she is having husband.This was why they lost and they will continue to lose all the time.they should come to government 2032.***barred word*** ***barred word***.
Anita seems so naive about governance. No wonder the podsturing of her and her likes saw them loose the elections so miserably.
NO WONDER NDC LOST BIG TIME UNPRESIDENTED IN GHANA HISTORY. IF NDC HAS SUCH PEOPLE RUNNING THE PARTY FOR SUCH A NICE GENTLEMAN (MAHAMA, THEY ARE THE VERY CAUSE OF THIS EMBARASSEMENT.
This lady does not understand democracy and accountable governance. She and her colleagues have taken everything so personal they think they are still in charge. January 7, 2017 will soon come and they will be stuck in their dream. The mantle has changed and Ghana is moving forward. They should however remember that the evil that men do lives after them. Did they come to serve the people of Ghana or to rule over them. I guess the picture is becoming clearer.
This is the voice of desperation and frustration. How can you complain (and who would you complain to) after EC declared NPP winners? Anita and NDC should rather ***barred word*** and leave!!!
Has this Woman have a husband at all? she is so disrespectful, she doesn't respect at all. Upon all happened to them she still arrogant. God will surely punished her.
