“Enough Talk and Propaganda, It’s Time to Act – Kwesi Botchway to NDC”

Former Finance Minister Kwesi Botchwey has urged the National Democratic Congress (NDC) to deliver on its promises and focus on governance rather than engaging in blame games and excessive committee setups. Botchwey emphasized that he, like most Ghanaians, does not wish for the NDC to fail, as the success of the government benefits the entire nation.

I am the last person who would wish for the NDC to fail, and I don't believe any Ghanaian wishes for the NDC to fail. If Ghana prospers under the NDC, it is in our collective interest. We will all benefit, so we will demand that they deliver on all their promises,he stated.

He further stressed the urgency for the party to act decisively and meet the expectations of Ghanaians, adding that the public is eager to see tangible results. Even if the NDC wants to fail, some of us will not allow it. We will remind them of their promises day in and day out. They have to deliver for the good people of this country; they cannot afford to fail the good people of this country, he added.

In a related discussion, the Free Senior High School (Free SHS) policy, introduced in September 2017 under the administration of President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, was highlighted. The initiative aimed at ensuring equal access to quality education for all Ghanaian students. While the policy has reportedly benefitted 5.1 million students, the current NDC administration has disputed these figures, raising questions about its overall impact.
