Deputy Communications Director of the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC), Fred Agbenyo has rubbished all the social intervention policies rolled out by the erstwhile John Agyekum Kufuor-led New Patriotic Party (NPP) government. According to Fred Agbenyo, the NPP's social interventions were in reality not feasible and the party's aim was to deceive the Ghanaian citizenry. Before Mr Kufuor's tenure ended, his administration initiated the National Health Insurance Scheme, National Youth Employment Programme, Free Maternity HealthCare, the School Feeding Programme and other projects, aimed at relieving the plight of Ghanaians. But the NDC Deputy Communications Director, Fred Agbenyo, contributing to a panel discussion on PeaceFM's "Kokrokoo" Morning Show, strongly discounted and discredited the claims. Elaborating further on the issue, Mr. Agbenyo insisted that the policies were mere political gimmicks and implemented to score political points.
