Asaga Slams Nduom

The Member of Parliament for Nabdam, in the Upper East region, Moses Asaga has hit out at the 2008 flagbearer of the Convention Peoples Party (CPP) for claiming that the living conditions of Ghanaians have deteriorated under the Mills administration. Hon. Moses Asaga speaking in an interview on the Citi News, dismissed the claims by Dr. Papa Kwesi Nduom, saying it was disingenuous for Dr Nduom to make such comments since he failed to better the economy during the various ministerial portfolios he held under the erstwhile Kufuor administration. Dr Ndoum in an interview with Citi News on Wednesday August 17 urged the NDC government to stop trumpeting vague achievements with the use of micro economic statistics and rather concentrate on improving on the living conditions of Ghanaians. He said the Mills administration can only boast of its successes if it is able to improve on the living conditions of Ghanaians, which includes providing potable water, affordable housing and improved health conditions for the ordinary Ghanaian. According to him, the CPP would measure the performance of a government by the improvement in human values and not by the use of economic indicators. �We prefer to determine the performance of a government by human values, by the improvements of the living standards and the living conditions of the people.
