General Secretary of the main opposition, New Patriotic Party (NPP) has questioned why President John Dramani Mahama will �abandon his people especially when fuel prices are skyrocketing, dollar to the cedi rate is high� and so on.
Sir John was commenting on President Mahama�s holiday to Dubai with his family for Christmas.
A statement issued from the Presidency indicated that "the President and his family left Accra Monday (23rd December 2013) morning to the United Arab Emirates for the Christmas holiday�.
But speaking in an interview on Radio XYZ, Sir John said: �When market women are crying that their wares are not being bought, there�s no money in the system, the dollar to the cedi rate is so, so high� prices have rocketed, indeed when teachers� some have not received their salaries, doctors are crying, nurses are crying, workers of all walks of life are crying, then you have a president as insensitive as he is, who leaves us, goes out there to enjoy himself while the rest of us suffer. That is my worry.�
He has opined that the President�s decision to even travel out of the country for holidays; in the first place is a sign cruelty.
�� caring is the word, he doesn�t get it, the president has no care for us, he doesn�t even think about whether or not people have eaten, whether or not those in the streets have eaten, and that is the worry�a president should care, a president should exude hope for us when people are hopeless� This is not the kind of president we have in this country and that is why I am worried for him to have gone. I don�t know who advises him to go but those who did and himself taking that decision have not helped the president.�
