US-based Ghanaian Film Director Leila Djansi has slammed the John Mahama-led government for making Ghana a difficult place to live.
The award-winning director believes that Ghanaians were living in much better conditions eight years ago than they are doing today.
Leila, speaking in an interview on Daybreak Hitz on Hitz FM with KMJ, lamented that she had high hopes for the NDC but their performance is nothing to write home about. “I actually have [regretted] because I had high hopes. I am a leader myself [and] on set, a lot of things happen that you do not know about and you only find out… its already become a problem.
“I do not know whether it’s a John Mahama thing or if it’s the people around him. I do not know what it is but all I know is Ghana eight years ago, is not Ghana today and it’s not a good thing. I think we should be in a better place right now,” she said.
This won’t be the first time the Sinking Sands director is expressing her reservations about the NDC government.
In January this year, she said in a post that she had regretted campaigning for the party to win the 2012 elections.
Read her unedited post below:
"Good morning from John Mahama's Ghana!! Multiple days without water. Last week we had to call the company head to have taps opened".
"I so regret campaigning for NDC although I have no vote in Ghana. I lost friends, someone threatened to burn down my office in Ghana cos I was NDC. After all the sacrifices made to campaign and have faith in this party, Ghana has been faced with so much incompetence from this team! Even not living in Ghana, you feel the hardship".
"But they have money to give to a less qualified individual to brand buses. Buses we brand at no more than 5000ghc per bus were branded for 30,000. That money could have been used to improve the water-flow system in the country.Beds for hospitals... This is the Ghana you get when selfish people thrive. When they give only to their family members. Clothe themselves in material things so they can be worshiped.So shameful! And everyone has forgotten that the young woman in question hasn't returned the money and hasn't even been prosecuted".

Stuuupiid Calculous. Has NDC been able to clear the Yellow Gallons from the street within the 8 years rule?Abo.a Bea.st. Kwa.sia ara kwa.
Where was this woman when Kufour gallons were flying all over? Why do people expect Mahama to change Ghana into paradise when many couldn't do that for over 50yrs? Is Mahama a magician after dragging him to court for almost a year and expect him to use his magic powers to bring paradise down here?
Enough is enough, President John Dramani Mahama, twasooooooooo tom, NDC is in their eighth year, you can't abuse Ghana for twelve years, haba!
its admirable to be honest for once.....NDC supprters just be realistic, your team isnt performing. Go ahead and support after admitting, thats fine but dont make it seem like everyhting has been ok these past years. The frustation of 'dumsor' alone is just crazy, i dont even want to go there. We can do better.
Misachievous this is an advance model of what leila said cos the bus branding issue came after the january u are talking about so u are best described with ur name. @Naa, u should rather be realistic, she is suggesting the money could have been used for any of those things and that doesnt mean only that and NPP isnt condeming the roads and others NDC are doing but the big problem in Ghana is unemployment rate so they should tackle it first. As for paa solo u are just totally confused cos how can someone be given a bill of 1800gh a month when the person dont even have a tv or fridge, or the light the person use has turn to a corn mill machine. Surely when Nana comes things will be better than they are now so lets vote against JM and NDC
@ Mischievious or who ever it is, when did the bus branding issue came about becaouse she did mention that as well.
Has this lady been following the development of this country at all? The npp will tell you water project is nothing, building modern schools,modern hospitals,roads,... are all waste of money. What does she think the npp will do differently to helps the ordinary Ghanian? Is it the lies that the npp are going round telling people? Please give us a break. JM toaso.
Only a fullll will see JM as a leader, the man is a jackasssss withavery dimmm mind. We hv to kick him out
Simply, she is right.
That is why we vote for leaders, to influence our behavior, if the leader can't influence our behavior we fail to exist. Newton's 1st law of motion states that " A body will continue to be in its state of rest, until an unbalanced force acts on it to change its direction and speed" Our leaders are suppose to be that force that will change our latent behavior, in this case he has failed miserably. How can you leave people to change, that doesnt happen anywhere.. Even in advance democracies they have laws sanctioned by people in authority.
