The opposition National Democratic Congress has alleged that the Akufo-Addo led government have spent an enormous amount of state funds on multiple luxurious parties since he was sworn-in as the President of the Republic of Ghana.
Addressing a press conference on Tuesday to review the president’s 100 days in office, the deputy minority leader James Klutse Avedzi called on President Akufo-Addo to disclose the source of funding for the numerous parties held in his honour since his inauguration.
According to Mr. Avedzi, the opulence that characterized most of the parties are shocking as some of the drinks served were custom made with the president’s name embossed on the bottles served at the party.
“We have seen evidence of parties with some drinks, some custom-made with his name on it…we call on the Akufo-Addo government to disclose the source of funding.”
The Minority criticized the NPP administration over what it described as bloated government adding that the country is under siege from state-sponsored thuggery and terrorism from vigilante groups affiliated to the NPP.
“We wish to state plainly that what the president has done is far from protecting the public purse. It constitutes a direct raid of the economy of the taxpayer. Maintaining the salaries for this large army of ministers will severely burden the poor taxpayer. These appointments translate into 110 bungalows, 110 salon cars, 110 V8 Toyota Land Cruisers, 110 guards, 220 police guards in their bungalows.
“More importantly, it represents a direct breach of his pledge to cut waste in public expenditure. He has acted in a way that will introduce more waste in government finances. Simply put, President Akufo-Addo has been wasteful and has not been candid with Ghanaians. Mr President, prune down your 110 ministers now.”
Mr. Avedzi added that the president has failed to protect the public purse, despite his promise on the campaign trail to bring unprecedented economic growth and good governance to Ghana.
The minority added that the so-called achievements touted by Vice President, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia on Monday are nothing but a total deception.

So what are you saying? Do you mean Nana our president is using state funds to hold lavish parties. If so, simply prove it.
That is why we are in opposition, talk about something which has a fact not birth party.
So a President should not hold a party. At least party was held in Ghana for Ghanaians to benefit by catering, logistics not taking money to Dubai. Prove that the money was the States then we shall listen to you.
So when Koraaaa will these ndc 1diy0ttd learn to close their st1nkinggg mouths. Even Nana Oye could throw lavish birthday parties with obviously stolen state cash. Oh mercy! The independent prosecutor is coming
One person could hide behind the keyboard and be typing all sorts to defend Akufo- Addo but remember majority of us are livid. Just carry on defending the indefensible, the people will exercise their suffrage prudently when the time comes. When that time comes whoever you are who is defending this profligacy of the government would have only 1 vote, and not the opportunity to hide behind a keyboard to replicate yourself.
Hahahahahahahaha. These NDC people are crazy! My goodness.
THIS PRESIDENT IS LIVING WITH HIS COLONIAL UPBRINGING AND MINDSET!!
Eeeiii! So there is no sensible person in the ndc? He eeeii you guys! Nana Addo started flying in the aeroplane when he was just 10 years in 1954 when most ndc members had their fathers and grand parents were wearing taa woto made from lorry tires. Nana started putting on Edwen asa Kente when he was just a day old,he doesn't need Ghana's money to make a party or celebrate his 20th wedding ceremony. Ndc are fo*ls big time,you need to look at the person first and where he is coming from before you compare your damn idi*t self to him. Ndc will suffer in opposition and it will be easier for a camel to enter the eye of a needle than the ndc coming back to power. Ndc 3 1/2 regions are what they will get in 2020 and they should pray it doesn't drop to 2 1/2. There is no way ndc will win the 6 1/2 regions again in Ghana. Ghanaians are smarter than you in the ndc,Go and find work to do and leave Ghana alone,take advantage of the 1 dam 1 village and go into farming Ghanaians need food to eat we don't want lazy people roaming about as ndc politicians. Go find something for your hands to do for NPP is not going anywhere soon, what????? With these good policies? Leave the seat for who lazy ndc thi*ves? They lie bad,not in Ghana anymore. The electoral manipulation stopped with 2016.
Nana Oye Lithur Birthday
A whole Deputy Minority Leader who cannot read typed script coherently and sensibly. He wanted to be the Leader. Haruna "di wo hene" but make sure Klutse does not undermine you.
