The Minority Leader in Parliament, Alexander Afenyo-Markin, has criticised the National Democratic Congress (NDC) government, accusing it of failing to deliver tangible results in its first year in office.<\/p>\n
He questioned whether the administration had undertaken any major development projects or settled outstanding payments owed to contractors.<\/p>\n
Mr Afenyo-Markin argued that contractors who borrowed from banks to execute public works remain unpaid, raising concerns about the broader impact on the economy.<\/p>\n
\u201cLast year, 2025, what did the government do? Did it pay contractors who had worked and borrowed from banks?\u201d he queried.<\/p>\n
He further dismissed what he described as an overreliance on macroeconomic indicators without corresponding improvements in people\u2019s daily lives.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf the economy is stagnating and we continue to talk about paper growth, I am interested in the cocoa farmer and the real impact on citizens,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
He stressed that statistics alone are insufficient if they do not translate into better living conditions for ordinary Ghanaians.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am not here to talk about numbers that have no effect. If the numbers have made a positive impact, I will acknowledge and applaud them. But so far, one year in office, the government has not made any real impact,\u201d Mr Afenyo-Markin stated in an interview on Channel One TV on February 16, 2026.<\/p>\n
