A former Member of Parliament (MP) for Tamale Central, Inusah Fuseini, has criticised the New Patriotic Party (NPP)’s 2024 manifesto, describing it as a repetition of past promises and rhetoric.
According to him, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia has made numerous promises to Ghanaians that remain unfulfilled.
Speaking to the media in Accra, he said, “Their manifesto is a mere repetition and rhetoric. He told you he was going to move Ghana from taxation to production. He told you there was no reason why Ghana roads should not be paved with concrete. He said that kayaye ought not to be living at Agbobloshie but he was going to move them and build for them.

“He told us many things. He told us the NPP was developing the largest hydroelectric and irrigation dam in the north. What we have come to realise is that money has been sunk in the dam with no results. So there are many things that he said.”
Mr Fuseini further alleged that the NPP’s current manifesto includes 320 promises that closely resemble those from the National Democratic Congress (NDC) 2020 manifesto.
He accused the NPP of plagiarising from documents available to them from the NDC’s manifesto.
“When we said we were going to establish a women’s bank because there should be gender inclusiveness in the economic development of this country and the best way is to establish a financial institution that would care for and provide the sources, what did they (NPP) say?
“Now, they said they are going to establish a fund,” he explained.
