The Member of Parliament for Dome/Kwabenya, Sara Adwoa Safo, has observed that Ghana cannot continue to suffer under President John Mahama and the National Democratic Congress (NDC) after attaining 58 years, urging the citizenry to kick them out of office in 2016.

She said in the history of the country after independence in 1957, the nation has been characterized with frequent power cuts. “Do we really have independence? If people have toiled and brought this country thus far and others (referring to the NDC) are destroying, is it worth celebrating our independence?” she quizzed.

She added: “Our independence is meaningless with ‘dum-so dum-so’ and unless we vote the NDC out of office, Ghana’s total independence cannot be celebrated”.

She said for the people to experience progress of their country, Ghana, and real positive change in their lives, it was very important to vote the New Patriotic Party (NPP) back into power.

The Dome/Kwabenya lawmaker made this observation last Friday when interacting with her constituents after embarking on a health walk dubbed: “A walk into victory 2016” to mark this year’s Independence Day Celebrations.

Commenting further, she said a vote for the NPP in the 2016 general elections was critical because the country could no longer thrive under the moribund administration of the NDC.

She argued that the incompetence administration of the NDC has sent the country into the abyss, hence, the immediate move to the International Monetary Fund (IMF) for a bailout.

According to lawyer Adwoa Safo, what is so pathetic under the economy characterized with frequent power cuts is the continuous folding up of businesses, especially, small and medium enterprises with big firms cutting down jobs massively to stay in business.

“Ghana is already in the abyss – the National Health Insurance Scheme is not working, free maternal care has collapsed, businesses are dying, NYEP has been turned into an avenue for chop chop, development projects in the districts have stalled. If we continue to retain the NDC in power, we are doomed”, she stressed.

She told her constituents that the NDC in their scheme of things have decided make opposition MPs unpopular by not releasing their share of the Common Fund with the aim of going for their seats.

Further to that, they have been selective in undertaking developmental projects in certain communities in the country, especially, communities that have been voting massively for the NPP.

Such a strategy, she noted, “will not work in Dome/Kwabenya”. She urged her constituents to remain resolute since nothing would deter her from embarking on projects that would impact positively in their lives.
