New Patriotic Party’s lawmaker Kennedy Agyepong has lashed out at his party over claims that the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) has stolen its ideas going into the December 7 polls.
The Assin North MP said the Danquah-Busia-Dombo tradition simply has no proof about their allegations since the governing party had launched its manifesto ahead of the main opposition party.
“No one has stolen your ideas, you simply have no proof,” the maverick politician said on Adom TV.
Agyepong added: “It’s about time we stopped this child’s play and focus on issues that will move the nation forward. We are in an election year and as an opposition party ready for power, we can’t afford to counter the ruling party over unnecessary issues…most especially when we want power.”
“You can see now, what they [NDC] call the highlights of their manifesto was just a photocopy of what the New Patriotic Party has been saying and it is amazing that we still have these people talking to the people of this country,” John Boadu, the acting General Secretary of the NPP told journalists Wednesday in Accra.
However, the NDC has debunked that claim.
Speaking on Joy FM Wednesday, Kofi Adams, who is the campaign coordinator of the NDC said, “nobody is copying Nana Addo,” and that the policy highlights presented by President Mahama are captured in the government White Paper.
He said the NDC since its inception in 1992 have been social democrats and that it is simply untenable to claim that they [NDC] are stealing social democratic ideas from a capitalist entity [NPP].
“If today, you have seen the sense in what we have stood for since 1992 and you are coming towards our side then you now want to claim what has been our rights all this while,” he added.
The NDC, he continued, is very focused stating that “Nana Addo has never come out with any such good ideas. Nana Addo is talking about one dam one village. He doesn’t see the difference… at least yesterday [Tuesday] the president taught him the difference.”

Book claimed they've the best lawyers, let them go to court. if u say someone has stolen your ideas prove it in court, Npp don't have any documentary evidence to prove. Complacency is what is eating into Npp and they'll loose big and later go to court again.

EVEN IF HE WINS,HE CANNOT DO THE JOB WITH THESE:KARBO,DRUNKARD JOHN BOADU SAMMY AWUKU,OTIKO DJABA.....WHERE ARE RICHARD ANANE,KOFI APREKUS,AND ALL THE NPP GUYS.THE ASHANTES ARE SABOTAGING NPP PARTY AND NANA ADDO.DEEP DOWN IN THEIR HEARTS,THEY ARE NOT WITH THE MAN.
who told u they don't have a manifesto? was it not just two days ago that the sitting government even came out with highlight of their manifesto. @AVD is it false to go to IEA meeting, why didn't jM go for his party too. Leave the man to dream big for the party. A for jonathan u always have no sensible comment.
Delaying to come out with a manifesto has hurt the NPP big time. This is a political suicide. A little over two months to an election and the NPP doesn't have a manifesto yet. Wow, this is serious.
